Instead of being a shield for crime, they become an umbrella for crime. The latest SPAK operation showed once again that a police officer was once again put at the service of crime.
" The police are an asset, and everyone needs an asset inside to provide information, to facilitate procedures and above all to avoid the part of justice. Recruitment is carried out in a variety of ways ," says Gert Metani, lecturer, public safety expert.
"They prepare them, they are their soldiers. Criminal groups train them, then take them to be certified at the Security Academy, they become officers and try to harvest as much as possible from them. There are other cases when the person is there, has a key role, falls prey. This means that that person has a price; it could be money, it could be an honor, it could be a favor, it could be protection. They have received the maximum in that position and know best how much their skin is worth ."
The scope of the illegal activity is broad, the expert says.
" They legitimize those call centers that deal with forex, with various scams; they keep them open knowing their illegal activity, but on the other hand they are rewarded with that money. They keep the bets open, even though betting is prohibited; they keep the games of chance. In every festival that is organized, there are suspicions that officials or crime agents are involved in this part. There are also people who work in the highest structures of the State Police, who operate as bodyguards, that is, as guards for these people. "
The Chief Prosecutor of SPAK, Altin Dumani, during his annual reports raised the problem that in the institution he heads, investigations initiated on the basis of reports from the State Police have had a drastic decline. On November 27, the operational officer, Igli Haxhiaj, was arrested, who sold information through SKY ECC, warning members of criminal groups transporting drugs that their families were being wiretapped.
Jeton Lami, with the same position in the State Police, was convicted of abuse of office, as he was the last person to accompany Ervis Martinaj, while a few days ago he was arrested for extorting 500 thousand euros from a business in Kamëz.
Oltion Bistri, the head of this sector, was also sentenced to 3 years in prison for revealing secret acts. But the list is long and most of them were revealed by the collapse of the encrypted applications, EncroChat and Sky ECC./ Vizionplus
