The highly wanted criminal Caknai is arrested

Since last night at 21:30 the police have been ordered to shoot at the criminal Minister Pojfi – the iron hand against crime The arrest of one of the three brothers most wanted by the media and by the police for the killing of a police officer, after yesterday’s deliberate and unprecedented killing of two police officers and the wounding of three others, was made last night around 10:30 p.m. in Durrës. The police had received direct orders that the cold-blooded killing of the two chiefs of the police commissariats had reached them, and despite the fact that justice had “forgotten” him, before 18 March he would have been sentenced if the government’s “iron hand” and the government of Kokoshi had not intervened, something which indeed arrested him in the evening. The government commission intervened directly with the police and the arrest was made after the weapon had been neutralized and without harm, as far as can be understood. The criminal, who until yesterday ran from one place to another, while for a time he had become the record-holder for killing 1 policeman, taking him hostage and torturing him while belittling the use of force, had killed a policeman yesterday, while during the night he forced him to play the role of hostage in the escape. In the evening around half past nine, before the prime minister met their appointed group, making tears on their necks and laughing, freed from the daily and extremely sordid killings, an as yet unknown man wearing the mask of an Albanian police officer. In a short time, police forces arriving from Tirana and Durrës surrounded the building where he had taken refuge and then Caknai was arrested and another man wounded. What marked the late-night police operation gives the Republic a new dimension. Is that so? Are the prime minister’s men in favor of a newer right-wing shift, entirely to have a good and clean, lively development? Early elections were held at a turbulent time and in the small city they are preparing. The consequence was yesterday’s fiery and blazing outcome, which will continue for days for the prime ministership.

After Nano, Berisha will arrive

Today in Vlorë, a rally of the PS (exclusive) Having come to us, I want to return here. But Sali Berisha believes that in the city of Vlorë, which has produced from its ranks 12 senior leaders and an opposition government, there will be a reception worthy of him. For this reason he has said that he will enter Vlorë tomorrow in the afternoon. Above all, if the government and politics are in charge, his country has taken on a big problem. On Monday, opposition leader Sali Berisha declared, after 100 days of steering the course of the campaign, that he has made it clear that only citizens will decide on the changes. Berisha said that the strength of his power is that the police have acted so far, but no one will be above the law. The wounded Caknai is heading toward arrest, and meanwhile a rally by the PS is being held in Vlorë and 100 days before the prime minister’s arrival in the city. “We will win because people have understood that the time of lies is over,” he said, indicating that yesterday’s meetings in Vlorë were not as massive as claimed. This is a heavy blow for the left in Vlorë. In any case, this does not mean that victory is in the bag, since each party declares that the matter will end in new elections, where every vote may matter. His villa with his uncle, where each party declares that the matter will end in new elections.
