The statements of the repentant Nuredin Dumani, in the Special Court, for the murder of Chief Commissioner Dritan Lamaj 12 years ago in Tirana, have provoked the reaction of businessman Arben Frroku, sentenced to life by Albanian justice as the author of the event. Through a letter sent to SPAK, the businessman, who is serving a more lenient prison sentence in the Netherlands, requests the questioning of the repentant Nuredin Dumani and his two co-defendants, Henrik Hoxhaj and Festim Qoli, reports A2 CNN.
In the letter signed by his legal representative, Tonin Prendi, Frroku claims that the information that can be obtained from their testimonies could completely change the course of the murder of the late Dritan Lamaj. Mentioning the confrontation with Albanian justice, but also his claims of innocence all the way to Strasbourg, the businessman underlines in the letter sent to SPAK and the head Altin Dumani, that he has always opposed the serious accusations brought against him, that he has no connection with the murder of the chief commissioner and that, according to him, receiving explanations from Dumani, Hoxhaj and Qoli would shed light on his innocence.
The statement to which Frroku refers was made by Nuredin Dumani in the session of March 20, 2025. The repentant confessed in court that when he was released from prison he learned that Chief Commissioner Lamaj had been killed and when he expressed to Festim Qoli his desire to give lunch to the perpetrators, the latter had said "You will give it to him, because he is our brother", referring, according to Dumani, to Henrik Hoxhaj.
After being arrested and tried as the author of the murder of Chief Commissioner Lamaj, Arben Frroku, was released in 2015, after being declared innocent by the Court for Serious Crimes. The decision was overturned by the Appeal, which sentenced the businessman to life imprisonment, a sentence that remained unchanged in both the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. He was detained in the Netherlands in 2016, a country that not only refused his extradition to Albania, but also recognized his sentence, reducing it to 18 years in prison. In February 2025, the European Court of Human Rights accepted his appeal, assessing a violation of human rights in the Constitutional Court and forcing the Albanian state to reopen the case in this court.
