Fatos Nano's arrest confessed by former personal secretary

Fatos Nano's arrest is often mentioned in the days when the Special Court has imposed a house arrest for Sali Berisha.

But times and the arrest measure have been quite different.

Former SP General Committee member Ylli Polovina in his book “to be or not to be” brings a testimony from Christina Cupi, Nano's former personal secretary.

It shows in one of the chapters of the book of Povina, recognition with the mayor, but also moments when Nano was summoned to the Prosecutor and later arrested and sentenced.

When was Berisha arrested you were at work?

The day he left on July 30, my cup broke. It was morning. The written announcement, a call note, came from the Tirana Prosecution. It was eight. But Fatos had to go to the capital's Socialist meeting, which was held at the Opera Theatre, and I told him he was going to go... My voice trembles when I say it. He said: “wants to himself once at the Tirana collection”. He's gone.

When he got here, he was with a bunch of people. A friend of his, a businessman, told him that they should buy “Funta”. We bought them, and Fatos said: “Now we want a 15x3> coffee. I made her coffee at one of her offices. When I brought his, he looked me in the eye (how he was looking at me) and he said: "The “I can't go back to”. Others listened. We're stuck. Because he added: “they will soon do what they intend to do”.

Don't worry, I said, don't worry about my sign.

Then he left. We waited, we waited. Someone's gone. Others came. We waited before the D.A. Some were afraid to ask. He was arrested. We received an order that we should remove those that were to be removed from the office. And what would be removed? Nothing was blaming him, but we took off paperwork for nothing. More of the mess.

Didn't you get a chance to meet him in prison?

We met on August 12th. I left with two other friends. They pretended to be Fatos' brother-in-laws, I was like cousins. We waited outside. It was a pussy. It's like my dream now. Like a man who sees awake and cannot move out of the country. I saw him from a distance: he was dressed in a tank, shaved and fixed. He came and we stayed in the yard. You've been set up to formin', Christina”, he told me. We used to joke that he had to get a new secretary and that was a brunette. I had fun, we talked, I told her about living together. Anyway, for the time of living together, it's normal, but I would never wish for my daughter. Fatos answered my concern, saying: “what about you, Christina?

Let young people live together”. Then I replied that this does not affect us well. “Rri, he said, don't speak in” He found out who I had, those other two friends didn't understand. The discussion continued with other matters. I told him I was friends with a lot of embassy secretaries, that the ambassador, this one or he, had asked about it. Then he asked me about many things. He ordered me to store the letters, to prepare the next Congress, that we needed Chancellorial materials. This was the last meeting with him. (Day)
