Journalist Armand Shkullaku stated that organized crime in Albania has passed the stage of collaboration with politics and is now the one that controls state institutions.
' I think crime has passed the stage of cooperation with politics. I think crime is the master of politics, justice, the prosecution, the police. Without referring to the Italian journalist's book at all, it is enough to look at two files; that of the Bajra in Shkodra and the Çelaj in Elbasan. You have a prosecutor who works for organized crime in Shkodra, you have a judge who works for crime in Elbasan. You have the chief of operations who supplies organized crime with information ,' said Shkullaku, invited to the show 'Çim Peka LIVE' on SYRI TV.
He added that the prosecution is unable to uncover either corruption, electoral crime, or even the murder of Vis Martin, because 'the state is involved'.
" Our prosecution is good at not revealing corruption, good at not covering up electoral crime, but why can't it reveal the murder of Vis Martin? Because the state is involved. Here, it is crime that commands the state, appoints political leaders, prosecutors, judges. Now it is crime that appoints those with whom the crime will work. Let's take the case of Ergys Çyrbjas. A criminal, Hajri tells the SP exponent, don't worry, we will talk to Rama and you will be fifth on the list, and he really was fifth and became an MP. And when he commits a murder, he shelters him in his house and takes some suits to a prosecutor or a judge ," declared Shkullaku.
Journalist Shkullaku stated that crime is not a concern in Albania, because it appoints its own senior political leaders and the majority parliamentary group.
" You're appointing senior political leaders, you're forming the SP parliamentary group, you're forming the government, you're deciding that even an unknown person you're running will get more votes than Edi Rama, then why does crime need to kill and put pressure on you ," said the journalist.
Shkullaku also warned that the situation could explode due to conflicts between gangs and there could also be casualties from politics.
" I've said it and I can't think of anything to say, but here this thing will explode because it is very difficult to keep the gangs under control. They have conflicts with each other and in a country like Albania where there is no pluralism and one person who leads, we don't even have competition in the economy, so the free market is under the leadership of Rama. The only competition here that will create dynamics is the competition of the gangs with each other. And this can only explode on the day when an important politician of the majority is killed, wasted ", emphasized Armand Shkullaku.
