The director of the Traffic Police, Altin Qato, is suspended from duty a few hours after he shot a citizen in Thumana.

The images made the rounds of the network, where it is clearly seen that Qato rapes the young man, while a few meters away, the protest of the residents of Thumana and Fushë Krujë was taking place on the Thumana-Kashar highway.

In the announcement, the State Police clarifies that the citizens appearing in the video were not part of the protest that was being held by the residents of the area and accuses them of performing maneuvers on the road and opposing and insulting the Road Police employees.

"The Director General of the State Police, Head Madhor Muhamet Rrumbullaku, has just become aware of a video published on social networks and in the media, he has immediately ordered the Directorate of Professional Standards in the DPPSH, for the preliminary suspension from the duties of the Head of the Road Police See AQ

Also, a disciplinary investigation has been initiated against him for a serious disciplinary violation, provided for by article 204, point 2, letter "a", of the State Police regulation, "discreditable conduct". The disciplinary investigation will be carried out in cooperation with Police Supervision Agency.

We clarify the public opinion that the citizens who appear in the video were not part of the protest that was being held by the residents of the area on the Thumane-Kashar road axis, but were traveling with their vehicle in the direction of Tirana, performing maneuvers on the road and opposing and insulting the employees of The Traffic Police, who have advised them to slow down and stay in line until traffic normalizes. Even after being advised by the Road Police officers, these citizens have continued to play the sound system of the vehicle without stopping, causing concern to other road users and their irritation at the same time.

Citizens EQ, 36 years old, and Gj.K, 36 years old, were escorted to the Police premises and at the end of the actions they were prosecuted for "Disobedience to the order of the public order police officer".

The State Police remains determined to implement the law and to respect the basic rights and freedoms of citizens, not allowing any case of their violation without being legally punished.

In the meantime, we ask for the understanding of citizens and road users to follow the rules and instructions of the police authorities in cases where there is a slowdown or blockage of the movement of vehicles for various reasons," the announcement states.
