Ervina Gjana under investigation for exposing the mafia, but continues to have access to the FBI, DEA and EUROPOL
On Wednesday, the Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime upheld the SPAK decision to seize the official and private phone and computers of the Director of Cybercrime at the State Police, Ervina Gjana.
The searches in her office and apartment were carried out two weeks ago, as part of the investigation into her and her husband Renato Hristic's connections with the "Agasi" mafia group, to which she is suspected of providing information from the TIMS system, police actions and confidential data coming from partner agencies in the US and the EU.
More specifically, the director of the police secrets sector has been criminally prosecuted by SPAK with evidence of involvement in a structured criminal group, with online fraud, call-center activities, interference in information systems and collaboration in cybercrime.
But the Director of the State Police, Ilir Proda, is not dismissing Ervina Gjana, even though she has been criminally prosecuted for active links with the "Agasi" mafia group, for exposing the activities of the police, partner agencies, and for violating the security of electronic anti-crime systems.
It is a scandal that the director of the most important sector of the State Police, under criminal investigation for links to organized crime, is still left in the task of administering police secrets, where information from the Prosecutor's Office, Interpol, SPAK, BKH, FBI, DEA and EUROJUST is also circulating.
At a minimum, according to the law, Police Chief Ilir Proda should have suspended the Director of Cybercrime, Ervina Gjana, from duty to remove her access to the information that the State Police collects, administers and distributes.
Ilir Proda's inaction further deepens the scandal, because director Ervina Gjana, in addition to being involved in the "Agasi" mafia group, also has other criminal files in the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, SPAK, and the Police Supervision Agency.
On August 2, 2023, together with the Director of IT at the State Police, Ervin Muça, Director Ervina Gjana is suspected of having stolen the database with secret police data and handed it over to criminal groups.
Specifically, data was obtained on the entry and exit of persons at border points, biometric documents, generalities, criminal events, police actions, investigative files, names of informants, persons under surveillance and search, as well as secret communications and reports.
On May 30, 2014, when Ervina Gjana was an IT specialist at the State Police Directorate, the Albanian State Anti-Corruption Commission reported her to the Prosecutor's Office and suspended her from duty, after she had stolen the hard drive of the official computer where highly confidential data was stored.
However, through political influences and connections to crime, the criminal case was dismissed, Ervina Gjana returned to the police and was later appointed Director of Cybercrime, now once again criminally prosecuted by SPAK for similar activities.
In November 2024, the Director of the State Police, Ilir Proda, on the orders of mafia clans inside and outside power, appointed Ervina Gjana as head of the commission that selected 48 police station chiefs.
But even Prime Minister Edi Rama is not dismissing Ilir Proda, even though SPAK has seized his phone for more than a year and he is under investigation for stock conspiracy.
The two cases, Gjana and Proda, show that the leadership of the State Police, its most important sectors and sensitive information have been left in the hands of persons suspected of protecting and aiding crime./ Pamphlet
