They are charged with criminal offenses, such as “Destruction of property” under Article 150 of the Criminal Code, “Disturbance of public order” under Article 274 of the Criminal Code, “Violation of the rules on explosives, incendiary and radioactive substances” under Article 282 of the Criminal Code, “Illegal possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition” according to Article 278 of the Criminal Code and “Unauthorized production, possession, purchase or sale of cold steel” under Article 279 of the Criminal Code.
Several investigation tracks have been set up in connection with this event.
“Violence exercised by protesters towards the PD headquarters and the consequences such as property destruction, use of unknown materials against protesters before the police intervention and violence exercised against them, possession of various illegal items and the individualization of the authors, as well as any other data claimed up to this stage“, It is said in the notification of the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office.
It is learned that investigations are continuing intensively, while it is reported that work is being done to seize the film footage and interrogate all persons who are aware of the event.
The Prosecution emphasizes that it is fully committed to conducting investigations with objectivity, in order to fully clarify the circumstances of the event and bring to justice any person who has committed actions contrary to law.
On Saturday, several hundred supporters of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha attacked the Democratic Party headquarters.
They were well organized, with hinges, ladders, levers, hammers, drills and other tools with the sole purpose of taking over the PD headquarters from the Re-establishment Commission.
It took the intervention of the police, to bring the situation under control in a few minutes, as the lives of the deputies inside the headquarters, as well as the leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, were being seriously endangered.
There were also some injured from the protest, but their number is still unknown.
Berisha’s supporters dispersed quickly after the police entered, which took control of the DP building, after which a large number of troops lined up at its entrance.
The capital’s prosecutor’s office cordoned off the area as a crime scene, and for several hours judicial police officers documented the acts of violence.
34 people have been arrested by the police and 18 others have been put under investigation for the events that took place at the Democratic Party headquarters.
The organizers of this protest, which had mostly mobilized young people and teenagers in violent acts, did not express any distancing from the violence exercised against the PD headquarters, and even stated that they will protest again.
They left without leaving any door or window the headquarters of the Democratic Party, which they call the house of freedom and democracy, after hitting it with all the strong objects, iron-clad devices of various kinds.
US, European and OSCE diplomats condemned the violence and urged organizers to reduce protest tensions.
