The disappearance of former gambling boss Ervis Martinaj continues to remain unsolved by the country’s authorities. Four years have passed since he was last seen, and law enforcement institutions have yet to confirm what happened to the businessman.
Journalist Artan Hoxha has commented on the statements of the father of the former gambling boss, Mustafa Martinaj, who, according to him, has given the names of the murderers to the Criminal Court.
“Ervis Martinaj’s father is giving some messages. The joke he said last time was I’m looking for the boy’s corpse, the boy’s body, and these are dealing with my son’s clothes. When he says he’s looking for the boy’s body, it means he has given the names of the killers at this moment. He has given the names to the GJKKO,” said Hoxha.
Hoxha further said that institutions must put an end to the rumors and admit that Martinaj was murdered.
“The institutions must say one thing: the person we are looking for is not alive, we are looking for his corpse. In these conditions, unable to wage another legal battle, the family is using the judicial process and the media, sending a strong message to the state: regardless of the motives, find Vis Martinaj’s body,” he said.
The journalist further made a strong statement, saying that the same criminal structure that disappeared Ervis Martinaj is also responsible for the assassination in Rinas, where Gilmando Dani and police officer Muçi Shaljani were killed. Hoxha also emphasized that this alliance is still strong and has control over the territory.
“Now I know that the public is hungry to hear names: who did it, how he did it, who the alliance is. It’s not the moment yet. The fact that no one is dealing with them means that they are still very powerful. The fact is that they did another event, because the same structure did Rinas (the murder of Gilmando Dani and Muçi Shaljani). This means that not only are they powerful, but they also have control of the territory. Murders in Albania have decreased because this alliance has control,” the journalist said.
