Gilmando Dani was killed today in a shooting at the Rinas roundabout. Another person who was in the car with him was also injured in the incident.
Dani is one of the most well-known names in the Albanian underworld, who acted on behalf of Emiliano Shullazi. Several years ago, he was convicted by the Court for Serious Crimes as part of a group that fined businessmen in Tirana, a group led by Emiliano Shullazi.
He left the cell about a year and a half ago, after serving the entire sentence given for participating in this structured criminal group. Since the time Emiliano Shullazi has been in prison, it is learned that Gilmando Dani had taken over the leadership of the criminal group.
Dani had been the target of assassination attempts before. The two attempts to assassinate him occurred in 2011 and 2015, in which he was injured on both occasions. In November 2018, Gilmando Dani was sentenced to 12 years in prison as part of the Shullazi group on charges of extortion and creating a structured criminal group. He was released on October 6, 2024.
