Killed the Eagles operative, Fier Prosecutor's Office seeks life

The Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Fier requests the sentence of life imprisonment for citizen AM for the criminal offenses "Murder of State Police employees", "Unauthorized possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition" and "Irregular driving of vehicles" provided for by articles 79/b, 278 paragraph I and 291 of the Criminal Code, committed against the victim NC.

From the investigation and trial on criminal proceedings no. 689, of 2024, it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that, on 13.05.2024, at around 13:30, in the village of Baltëz, Administrative Unit of Dërmena, Municipality of Fier, the defendant AM shot and killed the State Police employee NC, who was wearing the uniform of the Special Forces "Eagle" which made his status easily recognizable. The conflict between the victim and the defendant arose because the latter, while driving his vehicle, entered the curve at speed, without controlling the road, posing a danger to road users.

The victim drew the defendant's attention to this action, which is why the defendant stopped his vehicle, got out of it with the bag containing the firearm, and while walking towards the victim, who had not exited his vehicle, he took out the firearm and loaded it, and the situation further escalated, where the defendant AM, using a pistol-type firearm, shot the victim NC in the face, causing his instant death.

At the conclusion of the trial of this criminal proceeding, today on 10.07.2025, the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Fier, in the final discussions, requested:

1. The guilty plea of ​​the defendant AM for committing the criminal offense of "Murder of State Police employees", provided for by Article 79/bi of the Criminal Code and, based on this provision, his sentence to life imprisonment.

2. The guilty plea of ​​the defendant AM for committing the criminal offense of "Unauthorized possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition" provided for by Article 278, paragraph I of the Criminal Code and, based on this provision, his sentence to 7 (seven) years of imprisonment.

3. The guilty plea of ​​the defendant AM for committing the criminal offense of "Irregular Driving" provided for by Article 291 of the Criminal Code and, based on this provision, his sentence to 6 (six) months of imprisonment.

4. Pursuant to Article 55 of the Criminal Code, in conjunction with the sentences, the sentence of the defendant AM to life imprisonment.
