Continued from Part Six
The French doctor who came to visit Enver Hoxha in October 1984 was rewarded with 5000 dollars.
"We had officially decided to give him 3000, writes Haxhi Kroi in the diary, but later, at the request of Ramiz Ali, who was calling from his friend Enver's house, this amount increased".
In the account of the man who personally dealt with this banking operation, it is interesting how the procedure was carried out for the exchange of currency that benefited the French doctor who came from Paris to visit the head of the regime.
According to the personal secretary, the amount was withdrawn by him with a verbal order of the Communist President, from the special fund of the State Bank, without even completing the procedural "formalities". In the note dated October 23, 1984, Kroi said that he took the dollars received from the bank to Ramiz, who addressed it to Isuf Kalo, Hoxha's personal doctor, to hand it over to the special guest, but Nexhmija immediately intervened and the amount of the money was taken to the destination by Sulo Gradeci, the trusted man of the Hoxha couple.
Even if this fact has left its mark on the records of Hoxha's discreet man, another aspect of the mysteries of the dictatorship is revealed. It was no coincidence that with a phone call from Nexhmije, Hoxha's personal secretary opened the vaults of the state treasury to receive various amounts of currency (!) What's more, the case in question was not the only one, but as documented and Kroi in the diary, this strange relationship has been the working practice, although unknown, of a special sector in the KQ apparatus.
According to him, the so-called "Special Fund" was used not only for Hoxha's needs, mainly for medication and books provided in Paris, but also for the activities of the leaders of the international communist movement, but not only. However, Kroy's testimony remains only a light that can illuminate the fog of these unknown banking operations that were directly initiated by the most important office of the communist state. The following part of the notes of the personal secretary of the head of the regime on the developments of the period October-November 1984, in addition to the dynamics in the cabinet of the latter, speaks of a critical reaction of Hoxha to the history of the Second Brigade, which, according to him , "during the Winter Operation 1943-1944, it was destroyed due to the fault of its leaders, enemies Beqir Balluku and Kiço Ngjela".
For the first time, the former supreme commander of the National Liberation War, makes such a fact public only a few months after the punishment of the leaders of the partisan unit, which until then was trumpeted with the greatest praise for "bravery" and "unparalleled heroism". Hoxha did the same a little later with the former head of the First Assault Brigade, Mehmet Shehu, remembering that he pointed out "serious faults" and "numerous mistakes" during Operation Winter 44.
"Insurance discovers an agent in the ranks of the Political Bureau"
In December 1984, just a few months before Hoxha passed away, a secret report arrived in his cabinet at the Central Committee informing him that one of the members of the Political Bureau was working for a foreign agency.
With such confidential documents bearing the authority of state security, the head of the regime had eliminated most of the political leaders and historical figures of the Communist Party.
The last in their line was Kadri Hazbiu, former member of the Political Bureau and former Minister of Internal Affairs who was shot a year ago as an agent of the Russian and Yugoslav services.
With his crucifixion, the chapter of the elimination of war leaders was closed and thus began the era of purges of new leaders newly recruited from the ranks of the working class.
The case mentioned by Haxhi Kroi in the diary refers to the secret service's data on the connections of Besnik Bektesh, member of the Political Bureau and deputy prime minister, with a foreign agency. This time, according to him, the confidential information came from one of the senior officers of the secret police, who guaranteed that there were facts proving his services for the interests of the Bulgarian agency.
"Vladimir M. in the letter addressed to Comrade Enver, wrote Hoxha's chief of staff in the note dated December 13, 1984, there was indisputable evidence provided by a Bulgarian citizen who was a collaborator of the state security even before the Eighth Party Congress, but they were were neglected by the leaders of the Ministry of the Interior".
Unlike the other rounds, where Hoxha, as he was familiar with such news, ordered the shooting, this time, to Kroi's surprise, he expressed himself in evasive language: "It can be and it can't be true" (Continues...)/ Pamphlet
