As today 25 years ago, Azem Hajdari, at that time a DP deputy, was killed in an assassination attempt. Even to this day, this murder has a lot of mystery in it. Several people have been convicted and are in jail, but it is not known who ordered his murder and what was the real reason.
On the day of the murder, Azem Hajdari was in the city of Fier, where he participated in a rally organized by the Democratic Party, then he stopped in Lushnje and then, in the afternoon, he arrived in Tirana. In the evening, he was informed that someone was waiting for him downstairs, where Fatmir Haklaj and Jaho (Salihi) Mulosmani were.
This is the most debatable part, as there are many who say that former Prime Minister Berisha is involved, who is suspected of ambushing him through his former bodyguard Izet Haxhi, who has been sentenced to 21 years in prison as participant in the crime. It is said that someone called Hajdar.
After being informed, Azem Hajdari with his two bodyguards, Zenel Neza and Besim Çerjen, went downstairs and addressed the car that was downstairs, knocking on the window. At this moment, Fatmir Haklaj gets out of the vehicle and approaches him with a Kalashnikov in his hands, shooting. Then Jaho Mulosmani is supposed to have approached to his right and Naim Çangu to his left, both armed. At these moments, Besim Çerja, the bodyguard stationed on the left side of Azem Hajdari, blocks Fatmir Haklaj's gun by holding it tightly with both hands. The direction of the barrel of this weapon was seen on the side where Zenel Neza and Naim Çangu were and from right to left of Fatmir Haklaj, when he saw that Fatmir's gun was blocked, Jaho Salihi approached and allegedly shot his friend in the head with a 9mm pistol. his Besim Čerjen.
Azem Hajdari was killed by the shooting, while Zenel Neza and Naim Çangu were shot. Zenel Neza was injured and managed to survive.
Berisha's maneuvers
But this event has many mysteries. Berisha himself addresses a letter to the American ambassador at the time and accuses his bodyguard Izet Haxhina of being involved. But since then, he never came before justice, even as a witness. When the trial was held for Jaho Mulosmani and the Haxhia brothers, Berisha was called several times to the court by the prosecutor as a witness and never went.
Finally, we had the trial of Izet Haxhi, and the prosecution together with his lawyer requested that Berisha be called as a witness, but the judge rejected the request. It was judge Lazër Sallaku, who closed the CEZ file, which left Berisha out of court. So in 25 years, Berisha has never given an account for the execution of Hajdar.
Disappearance of evidence
Many evidences about the murder of Azem Hajdari have disappeared. The most important evidence is a recording made against Zenel Nezë. After the assassination, Zenel Neza was injured and went to the hospital. The first person who went to his bed was Sali Berisha, accompanied by journalist Ylli Rakipi. The latter had a dictaphone in his hand and they take a testimony from Zenel Nezë. This testimony was never made public and the tape disappeared. Likewise, Zenel Neza gave you a diplomatic passport and he left the country where he received asylum. He never clearly testified about the incident.
Likewise, another missing piece of evidence is the diary of former Interior Minister Perikli Teta. In the investigation file there is a letter from Perikli Teta, which shows that during the investigations, a diary was seized from him by the investigation group, where he wrote all the events about the murder of Hajdar. There were very interesting data in that diary, where specific names were also mentioned. But that diary is no longer in the prosecutor's file.
When Haxhi's trial started, there were hopes that Berisha would appear before justice, but the judiciary proved to be powerless again, proving the influence of the former prime minister. Today, after 25 years, Berisha placed flowers on Hajdar's bust, but there are many who believe that he had a hand in his elimination. / Pamphlet
