"Earthquake" in the State Police, the "SKY" gang falls, this is how the dome will be replaced, the chiefs of the police stations and the directors of the directorates, almost 600 new faces at the top of the list
Written by Elmas Bogdani 28 Nëntor 2023
For months, the State Police has been anxious about the "Metamorfoza 2" file. There, their ties to the underworld are shown more clearly than ever. A few days ago, SPAK issued 11 arrest warrants for the criminal group, of which 5 were executed by arresting the former director of the Tirana police, Erzen Breçan, under the charge of providing funds for the criminal group, Dedan Gjonin, head of of crimes in police station number 6, who is accused of collaborating with Bujar Germiz and Besmir Murat for the plan to kill two brothers who lived in Great Britain. All this was discovered by "Sky" interceptions. Also in August, it was reported that 70 former State Police leaders and over 300 officers were under investigation by the Special Prosecutor's Office as suspects for ties to crime.
interceptions
The data so far show that there are interceptions, which clearly show the corruption of the dome of the State Police and the fact that the leaders of this structure deconspire operations to catch exponents of crime. And this is probably the moment when we will see that it is not just the policeman who receives 1 thousand lek in bribes, but the leaders who receive thousands of euros at the end of the month from the world of crime so that they do not have problems with the law . It is those leaders whose names are on the payroll of criminal groups, who have been accused over and over again of being associated with gangs, who have seized the top of the leadership pyramid within the police to abuse the power and force that the law gives them with the goal of serving Albanian citizens.
And in fact, who can trust a policeman who debunks operations and informs whistleblowers? And already after many years, for the first time it is expected that justice will fall on the practitioners of the law themselves, and precisely on the dome of the State Police. The moment these accomplices in crime are exposed, they will naturally be fired and replaced in their positions. How many are they and how will they be replaced?
Nearly 600 new faces at the top of the order
These days it has been reported that some police officers who are involved in these conversations have resigned and there is no information on their whereabouts. Their replacement has started. On the other hand, the action of radical transformation of the State Police was stamped with the signature of chief policeman Muhamet Rrumbullaku.
After months of blocking, he opened the competition for ranks in the State Police. There are 572 vacancies in total, among which 12 are for "first manager", 40 for "manager", 200 are "chief commissioner" and 320 are "commissioner". The opening of the competition for the rank of "first manager" creates the opportunity for new police elites to take leadership positions, which for years seem to have been occupied by a group of leaders who are only recycled once every few months, with the appointment of a district director in the other. SPAK is giving signals that it will hit the incriminated Police dome in the future and the state will dismiss the entire management chain. In this way, the State Police will be rebuilt from scratch with clean employees, dedicated to work and verified for the purity of their image.
Even the Minister of the Interior, Taulant Balla, confirmed a while ago in the Commission of European Affairs that he himself is waiting for a decision, as to who appears in the interception of the SKY ECC application or Encro phones, or who has used these devices. will be excluded from the police. "Any state police officer who is found to have had access to the communication networks, either EncroChat or SkyECC, will be dismissed from the State Police even if it turns out that there is no criminal activity in that communication. Only the fact that he accessed such a network, but it is related to the code of ethics," said Balla. This is the reason that the new minister has not made any move in the police since his appointment. "SPAK is conducting investigations based on data from Europol, I believe that soon we will have developments, not only the police will clean itself, but also society itself" said Balla in the same commission. The interceptions discovered by Europol are thought to constitute one of the most voluminous files that has ever arrived in our country. France24 journalists reported last year that the archived intercepts were about a billion messages.
The first language used among criminal organizations was English. Second language, Albanian language. In an off-the-record meeting with journalists, the head of SPAK, Altin Dumani, confirmed that the wiretapping exists. "Until this proceeding was registered, it was said that officials and leaders committed corruption, or were involved in crime, but there were no concrete actions. Today it is a fact that they are arrested. We have a lot of work to do regarding this issue", Altin Dumani told reporters.
