The Tirana police have announced a search for 5 people who were in the same apartment in Astir, with the girl who called the law enforcement that she felt afraid of them because they had weapons. It is learned that one of the wanted is the 26-year-old from Tepelena, Joni Sadikaj.
His name was identified by the testimony of the 21-year-old girl. The young woman declared in front of the blue uniforms that she was not raped, but went of her own accord, unlike the first version she gave when she called the operating room. According to her, she got scared the moment she saw that one of the boys had a gun with him. The girl further revealed that she had met Sadikaj just the day before in a bar in the area and he had asked her to take some of her friends to spend the night together, as she had some friends with her. The young woman further testified that they stayed in the daily rented apartment all night consuming cocaine, reports A2 CNN.
Sources from the police claim that the wanted persons are persons with criminal records. Joni Sadikaj, in 2017, was arrested in Kavajë together with 4 other people on the charge of attempting to traffic 1.3 tons of cannabis to Italy.
While in the summer of 2022, he was handcuffed in Vlora for carrying weapons without a permit. On Wednesday, the girl's phone call raised the police, where the RENEA forces intervened with ropes from the terrace of the palace to open the door, as the young woman did not respond to their call, as well as to the negotiations of the father who declared that his daughter had been kidnapped , reports A2 CNN.
In the two rented apartments, the police found two firearms and cocaine residue, as well as the personal belongings of the wanted persons. The incident is being investigated for the criminal offense "Illegal Deprivation of Liberty", carried out in cooperation.
The boys had locked the girl in the apartment, after the young woman had started screaming while under the influence of the narcotic substance, as well as because of the fear of the gun she had seen on the table. The wanted persons are also charged with possession of weapons without a permit, as well as forgery of documents, as one of the means of identification is suspected to be forged. (A2 Televizion)
