Murder of Chief Commissioner Artan Cuku, Tirana Court sentences two perpetrators

The Tirana Court sentenced Bledar Jambelli and Kristaq Leci to life imprisonment, on charges of murdering Chief Commissioner Artan Cuku.

Bledar Jambelli and Kristaq Leci are charged with 'Murder of state police officers' and 'Unlicensed possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition'.

According to the investigations, "Bledar Jambelli, a person of great social danger and pursued by investigative and police bodies since the 2000s, in 2012 was investigated by the Police Services at the Vlora Local Police Directorate for serious criminal events, specifically the murder of citizens Sh.M. and E. Sh. and thanks to the investigative work at the time when this Directorate was headed by the late Artan Cuku, he was arrested and investigated for these serious criminal facts cited above, but later during the court process he was found innocent and was released."

For this reason, in 2017, Jambelli, in revenge, prepared the murder of the former Vlora Police Director.

Jambelli made an agreement with citizen Leci and to carry out the murder, he also met citizen Mikel Shallari, who was promised a payment of around 20,000 euros and that he would take it to Germany after committing the murder, convincing him to commit the crime.
