New details emerge from the testimony of the Head of the Saranda Police Station, Gëzim Bashllari, who was arrested after the AMP operation for illegal construction in the area.
According to investigative sources, Bashllari stated before investigators that during this week he was engaged in another incident, the murder of the fuel owner, which, according to him, prevented him from dealing with the control of unauthorized constructions.
His statement has attracted the attention of the investigative group, while verifications continue to clarify his responsibilities and actions in relation to the case.
AMP action in Saranda and arrests
An action carried out by the Police Supervision Agency in the Saranda and Ksamil area regarding police connections to cases of unauthorized construction has led to the arrest of the head of the Saranda Police Commissariat, Gëzim Bashllari.
A crime officer and an area specialist in Saranda have also been arrested for abuse of office.
According to sources, the focus of the investigations are officers suspected of being involved in or favoring illegal construction in these coastal areas.
Arrests and other procedural measures are also expected against employees of the Saranda Police Commissariat, who are suspected of having played a role in allowing or not striking these buildings.
