Luan Hoxha, the key person who risks sending Berisha to SPAK, the general breaks up with the Americans about the Gerdec affair

Luan Hoxha, the key person who risks sending Berisha to SPAK, the general breaks

The retelling of the Gerdec tragedy risks bringing a storm in Albanian politics. The Special Court of Appeals decided to overturn the First Instance for former Minister Fatmir Mediu, giving the SPAK the right to start the investigation from scratch. But the reopening of the investigation risks going deeper into the matter. One of the names accused of being involved in this tragedy is the son of the former Prime Minister, Shkëlzen Berisha. If the investigation deepens, then the former prime minister is among the most endangered. But the key person who can determine the fate of the investigation and Berisha himself is the former Chief of Staff of the Albanian Army, Luan Hoxha. At the time of the explosion he was in charge of the army and shortly after the event he reported to the US embassy where he mentioned the former prime minister's son. Luan Hoxha then received political asylum in the US, after the sentence given here for the same event. But according to the information, one of the individuals who contributed to the drafting of the file on Berisha is exactly him. Luan Hoxha has reported to the highest American authorities in the US, and has made available to them documents and facts related to the Gerdec tragedy. The suspicions are that his reports are part of the file for declaring Berisha "non grata". However, if the substantive investigations are reopened, Hoxha is expected to be taken as a key witness. So he is the individual who can sink the Berisha family. and has made available to them documents and facts related to the Gerdec tragedy. The suspicions are that his reports are part of the file for declaring Berisha "non grata". However, if the substantive investigations are reopened, Hoxha is expected to be taken as a key witness. So he is the individual who can sink the Berisha family. and has made available to them documents and facts related to the Gerdec tragedy. The suspicions are that his reports are part of the file for declaring Berisha "non grata". However, if the substantive investigations are reopened, Hoxha is expected to be taken as a key witness. So he is the individual who can sink the Berisha family.

Testimonies of the general

When the trial for Gerdec started, Luan Hoxha testified before the court. At the time he said the site of the dismantling was determined by the former defense minister, without the prior consent of the headquarters. According to Hoxha, the village of Bërzhitë in Tirana was initially designated as a dismantling site, but after verification by specialists, the General Staff rejected it as an option and with another decision, Minister Mediu signed Gërdec without sending any request for approval of the Armed Forces. According to the witness, the order, according to the law, had to be signed for implementation and the signature was thrown by the director of the General Staff cabinet, in the absence of the former general. According to Hoxha, the army could no longer oppose an order issued by the Ministry of Defense. He admitted that he visited Gërdec, for an 8-minute inspection, only for the military side,

The trial of Shkelzen Berisha

In addition to Luan Hoxha, the name of Shkelzen Berisha was mentioned in the book "Arms and Boys" by journalist Guy Lawson. The former prime minister's son filed a defamation suit against him, but lost the battle at both levels of the judiciary. A few months ago the verdict against him was given in an appellate court in the USA. The decision, dated September 2, 2020, by Judges Martin, Newsom, and O'scannlain, states: of the AEY company and in the Albanian underground criminal world. "Lawson went further by interviewing other people who claimed the same for Mr. Berisha." The American judges in the decision say that they did not find any error in the decision of the Florida court and emphasize that: "Berisha did not bring grounded arguments through which to conclude that the district court abused by not giving him enough time to bring evidence." The American journalist Lawson himself said after the decision of the Court of First Instance: “I am pleased to say that Shkelzen Berisha lost the trial, justifying my reporting throughout the year on the events surrounding the tragedy in Gerdec, but the decision is currently on appeal , therefore I can not comment fully until the legal moment when the procedures are complete. "On this anniversary, my heart goes out to the families of the Gerdec victims and I hope that my book will contribute to the effort to bring to justice those who caused that humanitarian disaster."

Testimony of Bumçi's secretary

If we go to the redevelopment of Gerdec, there is another individual who mentions the son of the former prime minister. A. Agolli, the former secretary of the Minister of Justice, Aldo Bumçi, was the protagonist of a fax related to Gërdec. Secretary Agolli explained to the prosecutors the procedure, how she recorded the fax and how it was sent to the Ministry of Defense. It is about a private fax that Minister Aldo Bumçi sent to Shkelzen Berisha for information, to remind him that he signed the "Memo" that approved his business in Gerdec. Berisha later denied the fax, attacking the secretary several times.
