DISCOVERY OF THE MURDER

The mafia assassination attempt on former police officer Roland Rexhepi took place on the morning of July 23, 2009. He was left dead on the spot after being shot with a volley of two automatic firearms, causing his instant death.

At the time, the State Police considered the murder of the former officer a well-organized and planned assassination.

Since the perpetrators were masked, making their identification difficult, forensic experts were only able to obtain DNA evidence found on a motorcycle, on cigarette butts, or on a hood found later.

Their comparison has made it possible to identify the perpetrators of the murder, despite the fact that the two convicts have never admitted to the crime. In the case of Florind Shabani, it was the investigative authorities from Germany who brought his DNA evidence after he was convicted in the German state for narcotics. Albanian authorities have compared his DNA with that of his father, Ismail Shabani.

Based on a genetic profile match found on a cigarette butt at the crime scene in 2009, the Prosecution has declared Florenc Shabani wanted, accusing him of being an accomplice in the murder.
