The police are boiling over with scandals and failures, only Ilir Proda doesn't add water to the fire...
On April 17, 2025, Albania woke up with a bang. Two consecutive assassinations shocked public opinion. In Lezha, Gjovalin Prendi, father of Rohan Brahimi, was executed, an event that occurred in the most brutal way and still leaves unanswered.
That same day, in another episode of violence, a luxury G-Class SUV was shot at near Lundra, leaving four people injured, including two children. Criminal violence spares no one, neither adults nor children – everyone has become part of a dangerous reality, where order seems a thing of the past.
While society struggles to understand the reasons and perpetrators, justice is moving from another front. On April 19, the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK) issued arrest warrants for the head of the Tirana Traffic Police, Roven Zeka, as well as two other senior traffic officials: Edison Tabaku and Sokol Novaku. All three have been placed in prison on charges of passive corruption – specifically, for accepting a bribe in order to avoid arresting a person involved in an accident.
The police scandals, however, don't stop there. Another shocking case came to light yesterday, where a 14-year-old was reported to have been arrested and then raped at the police station.
Not to mention the dismissal of the head of Police Station No. 2, following the arrest of former police officer Altin Morina – a figure rumored to have friendly relations with... Ilir Proda.
This wave of dramatic events raises a fundamental question: where is the director of the Police, Ilir Proda? His appointment was made with great fanfare. Proda was chosen as a new figure supposedly through a competitive process. But it seems that he too turned out to be a soap bubble.
At a time when institutions need to communicate, clarify, and take action, the police chief has disappeared from the public scene. No reaction to the assassinations, no statement about corruption within his own ranks, no word about violence against minors. Total silence.
His absence is more than physical – it is symbolic. At a time when the police are in need of reform, of self-responsibility, of accountability, their leader has chosen to disappear. Perhaps he is at an international conference on “child safety in urban spaces”. Or perhaps he is drafting some strategic plan for “rebuilding trust in citizens”.
But until he speaks, at least let us know: is he on leave, on vacation, or on campaign.... /Pamphlet
