Gjini denies having wanted to attempt the murder. He only tried to defend himself.
A person much wanted by the Albanian Interpol appeared before the Luxembourg district court yesterday for attempted murder. The police helicopter circled over the Court shortly before 3:00 pm yesterday afternoon. It was one of the visible pieces of security apparatus deployed as part of the trial of Aldo Gjin (Iamandi), the 33-year-old Albanian who appeared on Interpol's "most wanted" list after shooting a man in Remich, Luxembourg. on the evening of November 24, 2020, injuring both legs.
The victim owes his survival only to the escape and the lack of accuracy of the shots of the defendant who is accused of attempted murder, assessed the president of the 12th criminal chamber of the Luxembourg district court. Gjini denies having wanted to attempt the murder. He only tried to defend himself. Exculpatory evidence can be found in video surveillance images, according to his lawyer, Mr. Stroesser, who asked the court to broadcast them to ensure the fairness of the trial. 134 GB in total.
At the time of the incident, Aldo, a trained chef, had been, according to his statements to the neuropsychiatrist, in Remich for a week in order to rent a restaurant near the Seven cafe where he had spent the evening of the incident with three friends. A "fight" took place with two men, including the victim. Aldo wouldn't let Jurgen flirt with girls. Endriti says that he removed Jurgen from the bar by accompanying him to the municipality. Aldo says that a few minutes later, a man asked him to go outside the bar, where half a dozen men armed with clubs and knives were waiting for him. It is learned that one of them hit him on the right leg. Aldo allegedly fired the first shot into the air before targeting the man and shooting him in the leg to defend himself. Endriti, for his part, claims that he has not seen the men's group.
It is learned that he returned to the cafe when he heard the first shot. “I had hidden a piece of wood in the sleeve of my jacket to protect myself just in case. I tried to get him out when I found myself face to face with him", explains the 30-year-old in charge of the 12th criminal room. "I wanted to find out what happened. I did not imagine that I would find myself alone in front of the shooter."
These shots to the heart of Remich left their mark on the victim's body and on the facades of the buildings around the Place du Marché. However, none of the protagonists is able to explain the reason. "If he wanted to kill me, he could have easily grabbed me and shot me," the victim insists. Also of Albanian origin, the 30-year-old thinks that Aldo may have felt threatened. The president of the criminal chamber asks if the two men could have had a dispute related to drug trafficking.
Aldo has already been convicted in Italy for his participation in significant drug trafficking and his name, as the Luxemburger Wort wrote in April 2022, appeared in narcotics-related cases at the gates of the Grand Duchy, especially in the so-called "Pizza Connection". the Saarbrücken affair involving cocaine trafficking. Elements that color this trial and explain the significant police force stationed around and in the district court.
On the evening of the events, Aldo and the three girls took shelter in the house of a friend who helped them reach Brussels the next day. From there, he returned to Albania where he stayed for a year before returning to Brussels. He was arrested there on 11 December 2021 by police officers from the FAST Belgium unit and the Brussels-Capital and Brussels-North police areas thanks to information from FAST Luxembourg. Aldo was wanted since February 11, 2021 after a European arrest warrant was issued by an investigating judge in Luxembourg. The tall and thin young man was placed in custody on March 17, 2022. Aldo had to leave Albania after injuring two people with bullets after an argument.
The young woman who is accused of providing him with the weapon used in Remich has been summoned to appear as a suspected accomplice of the facts. Her DNA was found on one of the cartridges. She failed to appear yesterday and will therefore be tried by default. The main witness was also conspicuous by his absence on the first day of the trial. The criminal chamber decided to declare him a failed witness and punish him with a 500 euro fine. He now has an obligation to appear in court tomorrow morning if he does not want to be escorted there by the police on Friday, the judge warned. This afternoon it will be the turn of the judicial and technical police investigators to shed some light on what happened at the foot of the Remich bridge.
