Did the US Ambassador ask for former LSI leader arrest? Lu meets President Meta

One day after the former Prosecutor General, Adriatik Llalla, posted a letter claiming that the US Ambassador had asked him to arrest the former #LSI (Socialist Movement for Integration) leader, Ilir Meta, (now president), the Ambassador attended a meeting to the Presidency. The details of this conversation remain unknown.

The pictures published by Llalla showed the letter that he had sent to the US Congress, in which he explains that US Ambassador Donald Lu had asked him the arrest of Ilir Meta for being corrupted and for blocking the judiciary reform.

“His arrest would help enable a faster EU integration for Albania, according to the Ambassador”, Llalla wrote.

But Llalla adds that this request was totally irresponsible, forcing him to interrupt the meeting.

He told the US official, according to the letter, that the arrest of a high-level official could be done only through evidence.

Llalla said that the Embassy’s attack against him was after refusing to do this.

The request of Lu might have taken place on July 2016, when Meta answered indirectly to the US Ambassador.
