The soap opera of violence within the royal court continues. Prince Leka and Elia received two protection orders in court yesterday to stay away from each other.
But what is behind this story and would justice have been so lenient if it had been an ordinary citizen in these circumstances? The well-known lawyer Gylsen Zhllima in an interview for "5Pyetjet.al" says that the Prince, like everyone else, should have been arrested.
"If he was an ordinary citizen, he would not have been put in the dungeon, but in prison, in seconds, the policemen would have moralized him. Our police in these cases take you and put you in the dungeon.
In this case another mechanism was used which is unfair. Imagine another domestic violence inmate watching subject X not being dragged away by the police!!!
This is an inequality. How is it possible to drag an ordinary citizen and you don't take the subject who has filmed and has evidence that gives you reasonable doubt and you don't take him into custody, which is domestic violence.
Always the presumption of innocence, but we can't use double standards. Here is a very big difference. If it was you and I, they would take us to the dungeon and make us moral," he said.
The clash in the Albanian royal family has also received attention in foreign media, especially British ones. The "Daily Mail" tabloid has dedicated a long and complete article on what happened. The well-known British media writes that the crown prince of Albania, Leka, claims that his ex-wife, Princess Elia, and her father, 73 years old, attacked him with "hard objects".
Crown Prince Leka II has requested police intervention following an alleged incident of domestic violence involving his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law. A video surfaced online on Tuesday of Leka, 41, who allegedly got into a physical fight with Princess Elia, 41, and her father, Gjergj Zaharia, 73. It comes two months after the couple, who have a three-year-old daughter, Princess Geraldine, announced the end of their marriage, saying the union had "lost its function".
