They are drawn into the “trap of crime” to earn a little money “Many children are accused of committing a serious crime, while eyewitnesses and operational police information entirely disprove their authorship and name other killers, who have ensnared the minors because they benefit from Albanian laws on account of their age.” This is the official statement given by prosecutors in the capital, whose case files contain dozens of minors cited as the perpetrators of various murders or other serious crimes.
