11,000 police officers were asked to fill the Vetting Law for three applications. This process doesn’t affect leaders of the Interior Ministry, including Fatmir Xhafaj. But how would Xhafaj respond if he was to fulfil the vetting process that he wrote for his dependants?
Most of the application has technical and procedural data which don’t decide if officers will stay on duty or not. But the matter gets more complicated by the questions that are related to the connection of police with incriminated persons.
“Are you aware that one of your family members had inadequate contacts with persons involved in the organized crime?”, says one part of the application.
The brother of Minister Xhafaj has been sentenced to seven years in prison, in Italy, accused of drug traffic.
“Have you had inadequate contacts, electronic exchange, or any other method of meeting with people involved with the organized crime?”, the application says.
When Xhafaj was Minister of Interior, he has communicated with his brother who has not been sentenced yet for his verdict.
“Are you aware if a person of your family has exchanged money, favours, gifts or other assets with people involved with the organized crime?”, says the application for common police officers.
Answering with “yes” to any of these questions would be the end of the career for any employee of the State Police.
