The US Embassy expresses itself on the threats of Laert Haxhi's group

The US Embassy in Tirana has reacted to the threats of Laert Haxhi's group on several prosecutors who are examining their files.

In the statement, the embassy expresses its concern about these threats against justice officials.

Reaction of the US Embassy:

"A justice system that operates without fear and intimidation is a legitimate demand of the Albanian people, and the United States is deeply concerned about threats of violence against law enforcement officials who are working to make Albania safe, prosperous, and more democratic." . Investigators, prosecutors and judges must be able to perform their duties without threats or intimidation. The United States reiterates its unwavering support for law enforcement officials in Albania, who are courageously fighting corruption and organized crime, and stands ready to support their efforts."

A police operation made it possible a few days ago to arrest 10 people who were part of Laert Haxhi's gang.

According to the testimony of one of the arrested, Artan Tafani, the elimination of the SPAK prosecutor, Doloreza Musabelliu, was being planned. Laert Haxhiu is currently in Ioannina prison and his extradition to Albania is expected.
