War against criminality
The Prosecutor General, Adriatik Llalla, declared that it is indispensable to improve the investigation techniques in a time when war against organized crime remains a challenge.

“Albania is now an open country and the possibilities to penetrate the international criminal element are great. On the other hand, the internal crime is present and affects the opinion. We are witnessing how criminal elements are challenging the state, and for this reason it is important to improve and perfect the investigation techniques, which are exclusivity of the justice structures. The other factors should not intervene”, Llalla declared.

Lalla met with Sherfi Basiuni, one of the most renowned Prosecutors in the world, also known as the “Godfather of Laws”. Basiuni declared that making laws harsher doesn’t mean that criminality rates will fall.

“Many Parliaments tend to make harsher punishments, but this doesn’t affect criminality rates. What needs to be emphasized is crime prevention by the police and the authorities. It is important to study several cases of criminality and see what measures should be taken”, declared prof.Basiuni.

Suspicions on child abuse

The Prosecution leader confirmed that the Prosecution is investigating the case of a child centre, where caretakers are accused of child abuse.

A psychologist reported on Top Channel’s “Exclusive” that some of the abused children are having their rents mysteriously paid, suspecting a paedophilia network.

“We have discussed with Mr.Basiuni about the further reforms we aim to bring to our institution. In such cases, you and other media outlets have provided evidence or suspects for the existence of criminal acts. The prosecution will start the investigation, while others are under investigation too”, Llalla underlined.

According to the testimonies, the abused children were interviewed by the Prosecution by the lawyer of three foreign child abusers on account of a Strasbourg court case.

Prosecutors say that this practice is illegal and the lawyer has abused with its power. They suspect that the children are having the rents of their houses paid in exchange of silence.
