The victim Tauland Beqiraj, who was also known by other surnames like Gjikaj or Manaj, is not an unknown name for justice, as he was arrested for attempted premeditated murder, illegal possession of a weapon and violation of the security measure “House arrest” .

Tauland Manaj was caught by the Vlora police in 2018 traveling in an armed car even though he was under the security measure “Home arrest”, after he was involved in a clash between gangs in Vlora.

In the car, Manaj was found with a “Baretta” combat pistol, 9mm caliber, 0.688 grams of cannabis, cartridge case and 1250 euros.

He was released in 2018 by three judges, Nazmi Troka, Klodiana Gjyzari and Hysen Saliko, presided over by the latter, changing the security measure from “Prison arrest” to “House arrest”.

Tauland Beqiraj was arrested by the police for the criminal offenses “Intentional homicide, attempted murder, committed in collaboration” and “Illegal possession of weapons and ammunition.”

Top Channel has provided his file where the decision to release him from the bars is taken by the three judges of the Vlora Court of Appeal.

The court of Vlora found Manaj guilty of illegal possession and production of explosive weapons and ammunition, sentencing him to 3 years and 6 months in prison and for the offense “Departure from the place of residence of the prisoner” sentencing him to 6 months in prison.

But with the 1/3 reduction of the sentence he was left in prison for 2 years and 4 months. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of “Production and sale of narcotics”.

But against this decision was the Prosecution of the Court of Vlora which requested the change of the measure.

According to the file, he also demanded the change of the security measure, saying that “He left the apartment for health reasons because he was going to treat his leg because he was injured in an event that happened the day before and therefore he was under house arrest. He found difficulty in using the tool and asked for help a boy from the neighborhood named Mandi to send him to the ambulance in his Mercedes-Benz car. The moment they arrived at the ambulance, he left a quantity of euros and narcotics in the car, but the boy who accompanied him told him that he was putting them in his car so that he would not leave them in the seat. Taulandi then asked him to send him home after the police arrived at his apartment, but the boy named Mandi as soon as he heard that the police had gone with a worried look told him to continue alone. Taulandi said the car is not his but his father’s and the marsupial weapon is not his but the narcotics yes because he was a user. It turned out that the weapon had not been used for any event before. “

In conclusion, the Court of Appeals, after examining his appeal, decided to suspend the execution with imprisonment and to put him on probation for a period of 2 years so that he would not commit criminal offenses during this time.

Tauland Manaj was killed today around 14:20, in the “Bashkimi” neighborhood of Vlora, while carrying a pistol. He died on the way to the hospital as a result of his injuries. So far one of them has been caught suspected perpetrators of the murder and another has been declared wanted. The main track of execution is his criminal past.
