Halili revealed that Braçellari had been living in the Bode mountain hut for years. On one occasion, he even dragged a shepherd into the forest and tied him to a tree.

“The Korça police had received information through operational channels that 43-year-old citizen Violand Braçellari was in a tent on the Bode mountain, in the village of Lozhan. Within a few hours, they organized a work plan to go and make his arrest possible.

Then what happened happened, leaving behind a victim, Enea Mekolli, a policeman from the ‘Eagles’, and his colleague, Edison Adri, injured,” the journalist reports.

“He has been wanted by the Korça Police for 10 years. There have been several actions by RENEA forces to arrest him. No assistance was requested from RENEA for the intervention. He had been there for several years in the stable.

He had set up a stable complex. He had been living there with his mother for some time. It should be noted that he had not been so hidden that the police did not have information. Two years ago, a massive fire broke out on the Bode mountain.

During this period, Braçellari appeared. During this period, he raped another shepherd in the area, who, according to the data we have obtained, not only physically raped him, but dragged him through the forest for an hour, with his horse, because he thought that the shepherd had set the forest on fire. He was later found tied to a tree,” the journalist said on the “Off the Record” show on A2CNN.
