The Special Prosecution Office has seized video footage from the Security Block where the head of the Road Police, Roven Zeka, is being held. Journalist Klodiana Lala reports that it is suspected that Roven Zeka has had contacts with police officials.

Zeka was arrested on April 19 by order of SPAK. The Special Prosecutor's Office also issued arrest warrants for the head of the Accidents Sector, Sokol Novaku, as well as the Judicial Police Officer, Edison Tabaku. They are accused of corruption in a case where the consequences of an accident where two vehicles collided, where 5 people ended up in hospital, were covered up.

Tirana Traffic Police officers are suspected of taking bribes to close the case on the road, while no institution has revealed what happened to the 5 citizens injured in that collision between two vehicles on April 16. The three officers are accused of having demanded and received a payment of 2 thousand euros from businessman EV, in order not to arrest his wife who had caused an accident on April 16.

During the hearing at the Special Court, on April 22, it was learned that Roven Zeka stated that he is a career officer in the ranks of the State Police, while officer Sokol Novaku's arguments for a more lenient security measure due to family circumstances were not accepted. The two Road Chiefs stated that they had implemented the standard procedure by referring the materials to the prosecutor's office for the driver of the accident. They denied their knowledge or involvement in the actions and inactions of officer Edison Tabaku.
