The well-known journalist Artan Hoxha has spoken about the unspoken crime in 3 decades and what has happened all these years in the so-called "underworld".
He recounted the most difficult moments of his profession. One of the issues he reported was the "Tropoja" file. The difficulties started with the payments.
"When I remember with how little money we were there. You left from Tirana with 30 thousand Lek. Lek 10,000 was the ticket for the van from PD and the ticket for the internal ferry going to Fierza. Then enter the return and you are left with 10,000 Lek. What could you do with 10 thousand ALL? Fortunately the Tropojans were hospitable. Wherever you knocked, you were not left out. This gave me the opportunity to know more than I thought," he said.
Hoxha shared some episodes of his reports in Tropoja.
“[Commissar Gani Malushi] was wearing a long black overcoat, wearing a hat. He used to go into businesses and tell them, what's the time, it's getting cleaned up. In the meantime, the events had taken place, the mine attack was planned in Cërnica, the German KFOR specialist came and did not approach. Our experts did not know how dangerous it was going there. He was saying don't approach because two mines have exploded, three more are unexploded. I even remember the prosecutor came from Palermo and asked to go there. He literally said, Giovanni Falcone was executed with 500 kilograms of tritol in a place that was placed under the highway. The attack in Tropoja, that of August '99, was almost 1 kilometer of mined road. They had several armored cars. The perpetrators had placed the explosive on the rock, that is, on the slope of the mountain, below the abyss, the stream of Valbona. The idea was that if they were not damaged there they would fall down into the abyss. In fact the blinds saved them all from being killed. The time that Ganiu [Malushi] said in the city was after this thing. I caught it at that moment.
I was shot the day I stayed in the police station because they had beds inside. With as much money as I had, I would stay at the police station. What happened there? During the day, a police officer watches them at the police station with automatic weapons. At dinner I went to take it to Kërnaja, to the tower in Haklja, or I could go to Shoshan or I could go to Bujan, and the same people I had seen during the day wearing police uniforms with Kalashnikovs were there at dinner. They could even make a guard that changed the night shift. At that time in Kërnaja you had a checkpoint. You didn't go to the Haklaj's house. There was a checkpoint in Valbona, there was a checkpoint in Dragobi", said Hoxha.
