'He was very smart', former prosecutor reveals the confession that shocked Albania: He didn't apologize, but a novel

He was known as the "lone wolf." He acted alone. He was very dangerous.

Julian Sinanaj is one of the most famous Albanian murderers. He is one of the coldest and most intelligent murderers Albania has ever known. A man who did not ask for an apology, but for a novel. In the prosecutor's office, after hours of interrogation, Julian Sinanaj made a request that aroused curiosity. A book. The prosecutor, accustomed to defendants asking for defense assistance, a cigarette, prison facilities, or good conditions in the cell, asked him about the genre:

"Do you want a book about the mafia? Or a famous crime?"

Sinanaj's response was cold and blunt……

"No. I've lived them, I've done them myself. In that genre, I'm the author of the book myself. I want a novel."

A sentence that would remain long in the memory of investigators and would describe more accurately than any expertise the portrait of this dark character: a perfect killer. He spoke of the execution as if it were a technical process, not an emotional one.

"In 2014, the police and the prosecution for serious crimes managed to find a person, who I have said on other occasions was the most productive repentant that law enforcement agencies in the Republic of Albania have had," said Eugen Beci, former prosecutor.

"There have been some practices where the justice collaborator or more precisely the prosecution body has withdrawn from cooperating with the justice collaborator during the trial," said Artan Simoni, Nuredin Dumani's lawyer.

Julian Sinanaj is not a common name in criminal records. He is the rare model of a professional executioner. He did not belong to an ordinary gang, but was an organization itself. Independent, sophisticated, trained, precise to the millimeter. He was not a passionate assassin. He was a calculating machine, built to kill silently.

When he was arrested in 2014, he emerged as the sole man who had organized a network of contract killings, using temporary associates and perfect camouflage schemes. He had killed in Tirana and Vlora. There were suspicions that he had also committed crimes in Athens on behalf of Russian criminal groups.

At that time, the former Prosecutor's Office for Serious Crimes requested and sent information about this character to the United States Embassy. It was suspected that he could also be a recruited Russian agent. Investigators discovered that Sinanaj had been trained by a foreign expert to become a hired killer. When he received the order, he did not only see the victim's face, every detail and movement. He even tried to get to know the victim's psychology. He left nothing to chance...

"He was a very smart person, very prepared both militarily and in terms of the way he evaded law enforcement agencies, in Albania, Greece, or other countries where he had lived," said Eugen Beci, former prosecutor. Top Channel
