In the Special Court in the trial of Plaurent Devishaj and Julian Meçaj, accused of the assassination attempt on the Shkozet overpass where Andi Maloku was killed, while Arjan Ndoj and Aleksandër Laho, known as Rrumi, were injured, businessman Luan Mata, father of the much-wanted cocaine trafficker Ervin Mata, gave his testimony. In 2020, a quantity of TNT exploded in Luan Mata's hotel.
"In 2020, I operated a private business. I have the Viktoria Hotel and Viktoria Construction. I have no idea who planted the TNT," said Luan Mata.
Julian Pjeteri, sentenced to 4 years and 4 months in prison, Genti Nderjaku, sentenced to 5.4 years in prison, convicted for participating in this event, did not give evidence in court, taking advantage of the right granted to them by law. Amar Shkëmbi, extradited from Dubai, also did not give explanations. Ramazan Rraja, the nephew of former socialist MP Rrahman Rraja, sentenced as part of Dervishaj's group to 6 years in prison, also appeared in the process, saying that he will testify when his lawyer is present.
