“command” Tahiri, that is why documents were published by European authorities

From well-informed sources, close to the European criminal intelligence structures, the opinion.al learns that the public flow of incriminating information against the former minister Tahiri is part of a plan by various European authorities to current the need for decentralisation of Albania and that this case represents only a link of a long process expected to include figures of power and opposition.

The restructuring of the process of production and drug trafficking in Albania, at almost industrial level, is seen as a threat to European security, especially the inclusion of the Albanian mafia, economically strong, in deals with other groups outside Europe dealing with human trafficking but serving and as logistics for the structures of medium-born international terrorism.

In the eye of relevant facilities in Brussels, Berlin and Rome, it draws parallel between the current situation in Albania and Colombia during the 1980s, when drug cartels were empowered and aimed at having a role in state politics as well. According to the information we have, Albania's Western allies -- in particular Germany and Italy -- are committed to Albania's need for decentralisation, respectively, to prevent these criminal structures from affecting the country's institutions, be they political or judicial structures.

Opinion.al teaches that Italian authorities, assisted by Americans (in particular by criminal intelligence structures tasked with fighting international crime, but also those of military intelligence who are engaged in combating terrorism and trafficking in human beings) are primary in the operational part of this effort, mainly in collecting data and concrete information for all criminal activities related to the production and trafficking of drugs in Albania, their links to politics, but also for the role of the Albanian mafia in trafficking in human beings, while German authorities have a key role in the process of establishing a clear state-level mandate at all levels.

Our sources state that, in one of the consultations with Brussels and Berlin official, the Albanian prime minister has consented that three new and entirely independent structures be established in Albania: The National Bureau of Investigation, Special Prosecution, as an authority on current structures, and a separate chamber at the Supreme Court where possible judicial processes could be held.

During these consultations, the parties have agreed that discrimination cannot be done by current structures, so parallel to the property process should be established even these new independent structures. To do so, the Albanian government will prepare proposals for the necessary meetings in the current legislation, whereby judicial frameworks for the establishment, mandate and functioning of these structures, including the process of selecting prosecutors and judges, would be created.

Opinion.al teaches that in this process, an important role will also play the European mission in charge of the property process. According to our information, this mission will deal separately with each judge and prosecutor's file in four phases: investigate the origin of all declared and undeclared property; ties to politics; links to crime; and will consider one for all the decisions and processes from the first day of each prosecutor's work or court, to assess the professional level and integrity shown during each trial.

Opinion.al learns that candidates who can be nominated for new special prosecutorial structures and the special Chamber of the Supreme Court will pass through a similar process of property.

Our sources claim that after the next round of consultations in Brussels, the Albanian prime minister is expected to warn of the formation of these new independent structures that could be believed to be the persecution of large fish, including the current process against former minister Tahiri.

According to our sources, European authorities, in particular the German authorities, have accepted as reasonable the argument of Prime Minister Rama that the current structures of the Albanian prosecution and judiciary may not be impartial in the investigation against the former minister of Tahiri and that, for the most part, these structures, which can be hit by the property process, could be involved in a revansism process against the country's institutions.

In the conflict between politics and the judiciary, according to our sources, Prime Minister Rama enjoys the support of official Brussels and Berlin. The extreme distrust between the government and the judiciary, which was openly revealed during the review of the commission for mandates, has been addressed with priority on the part of Brussels and is expected to be used as a pretext for EU, in a formal way, to stress the need to accelerate the property process, to establish new structures tasked with decentralisation of institutions, but also for limiting the immunity of state officials to only functional immunity so that policy does not in the future have the possibility of blocking prosecutor's work.

This means that new independent structures, emerging from this property process, in case of a based suspicion, could arrest any senior state official, as could happen in any EU country or even in the US.

Meanwhile, according to our information, in the event of the Albanian authorities' drowsiness and reluctance to implement necessary reforms, Europe's anti-crime structures will continue to stir up Albania, spilling new information on crime and policy links in Albania.
