The murder of Judge Skerdilajd Konomi was mentioned in the Albanian
Parliament by the opposition MP, Fatmir Xhafaj, who declared that behind
this crime hides the hand of land property mafia.

“The media and many common citizens consider the mafia of private property lands as responsible for this crime. I am not amazed by this perception. Anyone knows how the mafia of private property lands operates: “The land or the life”. Anyone knows that such crimes either are immediately solved, or they are buried in secrecy”, Xhafaj declared.

The Prosecution of Serious Crimes has focused its investigations on the murder of Judge Konomi, in vlore.

The Prosecution of Serious Crimes, which is investigating the murder of Judge Skerdilajd Konomi, declared that they are basing their investigations on the suspicions that he was killed for property issues.

Sources at the Serious Crimes Prosecution declared that they have blocked every possibly helpful document, together with the years-old odyssey of court verdicts that Skerdilajd’s father, Fotaq Konomi, together with his relatives, had been following while requesting the return of dozens of inherited land properties along the Durres coastline, at Gjiri i Lalzit, near Rrushkull and Hamallaj villages.

Besides the case that was won this May at the Supreme Court, the Tirana Prosecution task force declared that four months before his murder, the prosecution has recorded two other court cases for these lands, which were still under process.

One of these lands has been registered after Judge Konomi filed a report for falsified documentations against another family that aimed to take the 200 hectares of land.
