But three of them still remain in the premises of the Police Directorate. The controllers who have not been released are: Flora Ndreca, Armand Fezga (president of the union) and Muhnir Mezini.

Meanwhile, the Tirana Prosecutor's Office has seized the documentation, employment contracts and work schedules for the 65 controllers who in three shifts carried out the control in the observation tower at Rinas airport.
