"Anti-Genocide" - Former Balli commander under investigation The Tirana Prosecutor’s Office requests his personal file from the State Archive The Organization of Veterans of the LANÇ accuses him of war crimes Another figure from the Second World War is also under investigation. After former partisan commander Shefqet Peçi, yesterday it was the turn of former Balli commander Abaz Ermenji, who is being investigated for war crimes. Only three weeks ago, the Organization of Veterans of the LANÇ submitted a request for criminal prosecution to the investigating authorities. On the three pages and in the 10 points of the request, the facts on which the lawsuit by the partisan veterans is based are listed, signed by their chairman, Mr. Pirro Dodbiba. Having returned to Albania after 50 years, only two months ago, the current 82-year-old head of the Balli Kombëtar party will have to face, in the midst of the current election campaign, accusations of having killed hundreds of people during the war. After only a few days, the investigation file has been opened, while the first actions have also been taken by the Prosecutor’s Office of the capital. page 2
