Criminalistics expert Ervin Karamuço has shown how criminal groups are luring police officers, invited to "EuronewsAlbania" he has shown the path they are following, while stating that the main reason is the low pay of the officers. According to him, crime gives police officers large amounts of money and this lures them to be in their service. According to him, there are even many officers who are police officers by day and drivers of crime bosses by night.
-What is the mechanism? How does crime enter the police? So how do they manage to find a common language with each other? So is it about recruitment, career, political pressure? So what does politics have to do with it?
Karamuço: Initially, they approach as social circles. This is the first phase. Yes, friends, from the neighborhood, in-laws. We are a small place and we normally know each other. And then these exaggerations of communication begin, and for small matters of interest, I get a little idea of what is going on there and so on. Then the gifts begin. It is not necessarily included in the salary list. So the seduction begins with… A good cell phone, something, if it catches the eye of the superiors, because a policeman with a salary of 700,000 lek, where did he find such and such a cell phone, why does he dress like that and so on and so forth.
But this has not yet become a practice in the work of our police, even to investigate these officers. Where do they get this source of income from? Because these are coming to us after 20 years, work experience that they have 20 apartments, two villas and a hotel. So, this should be done from time to time. That famous vetting has been left out, you remember. It was even selected for a certain category, not for the entire state police. So not for the 12,000 officers. And for me it is wrong because it should be investigated from time to time for specific cases. Because if one is infected, then he starts and infects others within a specific structure or similar structures where he has his colleagues.
And then the agreement is made, the highest level, the agreement that you will work for me. You will work for me, first you will get a little for the information you give me, second you finish your official hours and come to my service. Be it as a driver, be it as a bodyguard. We have many honest police officers today, even from special structures, who finish their official hours and find guards for some of the discotheques, bars and others. So they also do another job. They do work, but they don't get paid because the salary is a very big problem, which is very little talked about. The salary does not justify corruption, but the salary is the goal in itself why they join the police, regardless of the mission they have, but it is a ridiculous salary. And this achievement that has been made now, which is talking about gross, if it comes out net it is insignificant, 60, 70 thousand old lek. Absolutely. You've seen how they have it, because you're looking at the uniforms here. Have you seen how they made the uniforms? Which is, it's the ugliest uniform that the state police have had in these 100 years. Okay, maybe this is an aesthetic part. No, there are many criteria. Housing, this, that and others and others. And these people fall prey to these very easily. Because the temptation is very great.
You mean, do we only have this attraction? No. In the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, in Antwerp in Belgium, they change every three months. Why? They are corrupt. As far as his salary goes, 20,000 euros, he says, per month, you will be my soldier. And it is a very big problem for the prosecutors, as they explained to us. So we no longer trust the police in these areas, because organized crime corrupts them. In our country, where the salary is many times lower than in these countries, of course.
