2024-08-02 20:10:25 / AKTUALITET
The extradition of Leonard Duka, one of the most wanted crime figures, from Belgium to our country also brings to attention the saga of clashes between him and the 'boss' of gambling, Ervis Martinaj.
Martinaj has been missing since August 2022, but many of his supporters were executed in mob assassinations before he disappeared.
Since Santiago Malko, Fabian Gaxha, Bujar Lika, Erigers Mihasi, or his cousin Brilant Martinaj.
The murder of Fabian Gaxha
On October 4, 2018, a conflict between two groups in the "Monopol" bar in the former Block ended in the death of Fabian Gaxha. Martinaj was with him, while he was injured together with Eljo Hato.
The murder of Bujar Lika
Bujar Lika and Paulin Gjergji were executed by a group of four people on May 30, 2019 in the bar of a hotel in the village of Gjormë, on the Mamurras-Lezhë highway.
Lika was known by the name Ari and the last name Hasani. The businessman was also known for his friendship with Martinaj. He was suspected of being involved in a criminal event in Linza, where Enton Nikaj was left dead. For this event, Eduart Lamaj was sentenced to life imprisonment and two others, his accomplices have been declared wanted, but have not yet been put in handcuffs.
The assassination of Santiago Malko
Santiago Malko was shot with a barrage of bullets in the area of Porcelan, on the evening of August 27, 2019, while he was driving his BMW X5 car. The 26-year-old was shot from the rear window of a Mercedes-Benz, which was following his car from a very close distance in the moments before the assassination.
Blendi Teta was convicted for this event, who allegedly observed Malko's movements before the assassination.
The murder of Erigers Mihas
The friend of the gambling boss, Erigers Mihasi was executed with a Kalashnikov on November 13, 2021 in Astir. He was driving with Armando Duman, when a Kalashnikov was fired from another car. Armando Dumani also lost his life from the shooting, while the double murder remains unsolved.
The murder of Can Karic
On December 23, 2021, Can Kariçi was shot with a firearm with a silencer inside a car with foreign license plates in Kodër Kamëz. The 35-year-old had previous criminal records and was convicted for an injury that occurred in Tirana in 2018. Kariçi was a friend of Ervis Martinaj and Erigers Mihas.
The disappearance of Ulvi Skana
Since May 17, 2022, the young Ulvi Skana, 29 years old, has been missing. The family members filed a complaint with the police and an investigation into the kidnapping has begun. It has been hinted in the media that he was a close friend of Can Kariç and an acquaintance of Martinaj.
The murder of Brilant Martinaj
On July 17, 2022, three people were killed during a mafia assassination at the Fushë-Kruja overpass. The perpetrators fired volleys at Kalashnvikov towards the car in which Brilant Martinaj, Diklon Vata and Besmir Hoxha were traveling. The car caught fire from the barrage of bullets. Vata got out of the vehicle, but was executed by bullets, while the other two were burned inside the vehicle.
Brilant Martinaj was Ervis Martinaj's first cousin. He was wanted for the murder of FNSH officer Xhulio Prela on November 5, 2020, but also another former officer of the blue uniforms, Xelal Reçit.
The assassination of Ylli (Brahja) Brahim
On July 22, 2022, a volley of weapons was fired at the car of businessman Ylli Brahimi, in the yard of the latter's apartment. From this event, Klisman Preçi was killed and Ylli Brahimi was seriously injured, but the latter survived the assassination attempt.
This was not the only assassination attempt against him, as in January 2021, as he was walking calmly with two other people on the street, he was shot with a gun, but also in this case he was injured.
Ervis Martinaj
The assassination targeting Brahimi is thought to be for personal account, but the clue that it was the next attempt of Ervis Martinaj's opponents is not left aside. Many of the mafia assassinations still do not have a perpetrator, while suspicion falls on opposing groups, among them the Duka clan. The fate of Martinaj still remains an enigma, while the investigations are still ongoing for the full clarification./ TCH
