According to the first reports received from the delegation cell, the Tirana police arrested him around 8:30 p.m. last night, as he was entering the offices of the Democratic Party. The first charge against Memeia is smuggling. According to the Tirana police, deputy Memia was caught bringing in smuggled goods. Officially, the police state that the PD deputy smuggled a camera, but not for sale. In fact, the camera was sent by proxy from Italy to Vlorë and appears to have been cleared through customs with only a simple document. A few minutes after Memeia’s arrest, PD deputies Azem Hajdari and Besnik Mustafaj, as well as the head of the parliamentary group of this party, arrived at the police station. Immediately after the detention, Democratic representatives described the arrest as a political act. 20 criminals from the Vlorë gangs overturn the death sentence Zani Çushi in court
