A love story that began with feelings has ended in a criminal incident in Tirana, with the hostage-taking of a businessman.
Lusjan Kimza, after discovering messages with the businessman on his girlfriend's phone, Suate Celoaliaj, decided to take revenge. He, in collaboration with his girlfriend's friend, Monika Marku, seduced the victim by inviting her to a daily rental apartment.
The businessman, convinced that he would meet the girl, fell into a trap and was taken hostage by Kimza and his two associates, Asmireld Nimani and Klajdi Ninami. They raped him and forced him to hand over 5,000 euros to be released.
After the incident, the victim was taken to the hospital and notified the police, who arrested Lusjan Kimza, Asmireld Niman, and Agustin Kimza, Lusjan's father, after a gun was found in his apartment.
Meanwhile, several other people involved in the incident have been declared wanted by the police.
Full police statement regarding the incident:
DVP Tirana/The Serious Crimes Investigation Sector, in cooperation with the Special Operations Force Sector, is finalizing the operation codenamed "Restriction".
They deprived a 27-year-old of his freedom for several hours and physically raped him in an apartment, forcing him to give them 5,000 euros. 5 citizens are identified. 2 of them are arrested, and 3 accomplices are wanted.
The father of one of the arrested was also arrested after a firearm, a pistol with combat ammunition, was found in his apartment.
A pistol, 5,000 euros, 6 cell phones and 1 vehicle were seized.
Immediately after the announcement that a citizen had been deprived of his liberty and raped, with the aim of extorting a sum of money, the Serious Crimes Investigation Sector, in cooperation with the Special Operations Force Sector, organized the work to identify and capture the perpetrators, as well as to clarify the circumstances of the case.
As a result of the quick and professional actions of the Police services, within the framework of the "Restriction" operation, the 5 suspected perpetrators of the case were identified, 2 of them were arrested and put in handcuffs, citizens LK, 24 years old and AN, 24 years old, and 3 accomplices were declared wanted, citizens KN, 23 years old, MM, 21 years old and SC, 25 years old.
From the investigations conducted using proactive methods, it is suspected that these 5 citizens have collaborated with each other to take money from the 27-year-old. Citizens LK, MM and KN have deprived the 27-year-old of his freedom for several hours and have physically violated him in the premises of an apartment. After the 27-year-old has given them 5000 euros, they have threatened him again to give them another amount of money.
Following the operation, a search was conducted at the apartment of citizen A. K, 60 years old, (father of citizen LK), where 1 firearm, a pistol with combat ammunition, was found, which was seized as material evidence.
During the search in the room where citizen LK was staying, 5,000 euros were found (it is suspected that this is the amount of money that was taken from the 27-year-old).
The procedural materials will be passed on to the Prosecutor's Office for further action.
