Former manager Veiz Muca is the next witness to be questioned today in the Special Court in the trial against former minister Fatmir Mediu on the explosion of the arms depot in Gërdec. He has shown that all the rules were violated at work.
According to him, this came from the greed of the ministry to dismantle as many weapons as possible and also the greed of the workers who wanted to exceed the norm to get as much money as possible.
He stated that there were occasional small fires inside the dismantling department, but according to him, they were put out with fire extinguishers.
"I graduated from the military high school in Zallherr. I worked various jobs in construction and in the army I was in the infantry. I worked in Gërdec from June 12, 2007 to March 15, 2008. I was hired by Dritan Minxolli, whom I knew and I asked for a job. He explained everything to me, I thought it was the dismantling of cartridges. I don't know Deliorji, I've seen him, but he didn't have contact with me. Initially, I was a brigadier and I controlled the work of those dealing with the unloading of shells.
But you throw them away and that's why I fought with Dritan. After I told him that the workers are not careful, he dismissed me from there and sent me somewhere else, yes brigadier.
All types of artillery came there, for 100 mlm shells there was a polygon (concrete block with holes), there was no other equipment. There were small fires, but they were extinguished with fire extinguishers. There were other people doing those jobs. In Gërdec, there was two days' worth of gunpowder as there was no place in the container to put it and it had not even been sent to the factory. On the day of the incident, Dritani went out and I ordered the guard not to let anyone in.
The incident happened when I was just 200 meters below. The fire started where the dismantling took place. Gunpowder was transported in carts. When the carts broke down, he repaired them, Delu had his back nearby. According to what the workers told me, the fire started in a cart with gunpowder. The cart was broken for that Deli's son. He had sent it home and had it attached. I did not give permission to anyone that day. Deli told director Dritan that he was welding the carts two or three times a day that were damaged. I mean something "the greed of the army to bring in as much ammunition as possible and the greed of the workers to do as much work as possible to reach the norm broke the rules at work. To tell me today to go do that work like 1 million on the day they give me I don't go anymore ," he said.
