"The last salute" for Ilir Meta; from the fight in Lalëz to the horror of Durrës...
Shortly before his spectacular arrest, a verbal altercation in a well-known bar in Lalzi Bay, between Lefter Koka's and Ilir Meta's people, was spread as "gossip news" in the Albanian media. At the time, it was treated as a banal summer incident. But after 7 months in prison and many developments that surround Meta's file today, it is becoming increasingly clear that that altercation was more than a drunken brawl. It was the first warning. It was the last salute.
It is now known that Ilir Meta was not only arrested for the "CEZ-DIA" case and illegal enrichment schemes. He has been politically overthrown and physically isolated, as part of a deeper war between former friends, between heads of the system, between people who have shared everything and now seek to share their silence with distance.
In the days after his arrest, Meta did not speak. For the first time in his career, he left himself in silence. And this happened not only because of the file. But because he had received the signal. That "hello" had come, which in the dark language of politics and crime, is always an irreversible message.
Fear of Durrës, stronger than prison
In the initial scenario, Meta was to be transferred to the Durrës detention center, known as the “VIP house.” But he did his best not to set foot there. He used every channel, engaged lawyers and “important people,” to avoid clashing with what he knew would not be a prison in Durrës, but hell.
It is said that in a moment of nervousness, Meta declared to an important security figure: "Better kill me, I'm not going there."
Because Meta knows Durrës well. He once ruled it. But he betrayed it just like he betrayed everyone. And now, that city, which once supported him, has turned into a red zone for him.
There are new names, there are new groups, there are guys who no longer know him as "President", but as "the silent enemy of the past".
From the President to the "brother who betrayed"
Some sources say that the clash with Lefter Koka was not simply political or judicial. It was personal, deep and unbearable. The file against Koka was silently signed by Meta and Monika. It seemed like revenge. But it was interpreted as betrayal.
From that moment on, Meta began to isolate himself. Both within the party and outside it. The divorce with Monika, presented as a personal matter, was part of the calculation to save his image and share responsibilities. But it was not enough. Because the signals had come. And the strongest, it was the one that forced him to choose Tirana prison 313, a harsh but safer institution.
Because there was no return to Durrës.
The lobby that made him "its own son" and then abandoned him
Ilir Meta used to "kill and wait" in Durrës. He was the favorite figure of a powerful lobby, which led him to the post of prime minister. But as happens with any relationship built on interest, that lobby abandoned him.
It is said that during his time as President, Meta made an “unauthorized” visit to one of the new businesses in the port city, linked to big names from the dark world. Since that day, his name has been on the blacklist.
And no one erases that list, neither with power nor with promises.
Ilir Meta is lonely today. He no longer has Durrës, he no longer has Monika, he no longer has immunity. He only has Tirana and a cell that he chose himself, so as not to die in the city that once raised him./ Pamphlet
