Journalist Klodiana Lala, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV by Lulzim Basha, was summoned today to SPAK regarding the ongoing investigations into the murder of Aleks Nika, one of the January 21 protesters.
According to the journalist, there are several key moments that could shed light on the incident. Lala said that Basha, as Minister of Interior, has been called to provide clarification.
"Lulzim Basha responded to the summons signed by prosecutor Alfred Shehu. A criminal proceeding has been registered for the four murders of protesters on January 21. SPAK is investigating several criminal offenses. Aleks Nika's widow addressed SPAK and requested an investigation of the officers who, according to her, were involved in the murder of her husband.
If you remember, during the process, Ndrea Prendi and Agim Llupo were convicted for the murder of Ziver Veizi and Faik Myrtaj, with ridiculous sentences. The murder of Hekuran Deda and Aleks Nika remained unsolved. Aleks Nika's widow turned to SPAK. SPAK initially claimed that it had no jurisdiction and that it belonged to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office. In 2021, the Supreme Court said that SPAK should investigate.
Since 2024, when criminal proceedings were registered, a number of officials, guards, former guards, and other people have been questioned. Basha was called as a person with knowledge, as he was Minister of Interior when the incident occurred.
Based on information published by Artan Hoha and Aleks Nika's uncle, there are several radio communications.
On January 21, a vehicle attempted to break through the perimeter of the Prime Minister's Office and was shot at by protesters. Mr. Basha appears on the terrace of the Prime Minister's Office. He is called to explain the dynamics, who was in the building, if apart from Ndrea Prendi, if it was Mr. Berisha and who gave the order.
Mr. Matlija said there are two essential moments. If the radio communications are fully revealed, it will be verified who gave the order, after initially being shot with practice bullets, but in the end. Agim Llupo shoots with a gun and Ndrea Prendi with his pistol.
Basha has been called for clarification. First, there are the communications, of which we have only heard part, and second, the shell that was removed from Aleks Nika's head in Turkey. The authorities initially said they do not have a laboratory or expert to analyze where the shell came from.
With the latest developments, it has been concluded that foreign experts, and it is a specialized laboratory, will conduct a new examination of the projectile. If it is confirmed which weapon it came from, we may have a change in the dynamics of the event. These are the key moments.
"During the first trial, US assistance was requested to restore the footage from the prime minister's server that was deleted. At the time, it was said that they would not be recovered, but now with developments, there may be a possibility of their recovery," Lala declared.
