Mit allen Mitteln versucht die Politische Mafia, welche in einem tiefen Sumpf steckt, die Ermittlungen im Falle der Kathastrophe von Gerdec und den gesamten Waffen Handel um die Staatsfirma MEICO zu verhindern. Vor allem stecken tief darin wohl alle bisherigen Premier Minister von Albanien. Vor allem wird mit allen Mitteln auch die Aufhebung der Immunität von Ex-Minister Mediu versucht zu verhindern, der praktisch nur ein verlängerter Arm der Mafia um Sabri Godo ist, dem Ex-Botschafter Josef Limprecht und der Drehscheibe der Mafia und des Bin Laden Financiers Yassin Kadi: die American Bank of Albania.

US Slams Albania Govt on Blast Probe

Ina Rama and John Withers

04 June 2008 Tirana _ The U.S. ambassador in Tirana has condemned Albanian’s Premier and Parliament speaker for stalling a probe into the March 15 army depot blasts.

“The American government will view with disappointment and alarm any effort to subject this investigation to any outside influence whatsoever,” said John L. Withers after a meeting with Prosecutor General Ina Rama.

Parliamentary Speaker Jozefina Topalli has repeatedly delayed a decision to put to vote the immunity of former Defense Minister Fatmir Mediu, while Prime Minister Sali Berisha has remained silent on the issue, though formerly promising that no official of his government would hide behind parliamentary immunity.

Prosecutor General Ina Rama has asked parliament to lift Mediu’s immunity. The former defence minister resigned from government in the days following the blasts which killed 26 people and left more than 300 injured.

“The violation of the laws and procedures of security and ammunition storage and the mismanagement of the disposal process caused the sparks that set off the massive explosions,” Rama stated in her request for Mediu’s immunity to be lifted.

She added that “a flagrant violation in this process has been the employment of children.”

Rama accuses the former defence minister of abuse of power. As a member of parliament, however, he enjoys immunity from formal charges and cannot be formally placed under investigation.

“It is the Prosecutor General’s constitutional duty, not that of any other body of government, to conduct her work without interference; and for this to take place, it is essential that Parliament immediately address the question of parliamentary immunity,” Withers said.

“The American government and people will be deeply concerned if any political faction, party, or leader makes statements or takes actions that in any way inject a political agenda into what must be an impartial and independent investigation based on the rule of law,” he added.http://balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/10718/

US ambassador to Albania calls for independent investigation into depot blasts

04/06/2008

TIRANA, Albania — US Ambassador to Albania John Withers said on Tuesday (June 3rd) that Washington remains committed to an independent investigation of the March 15th explosions at the ammunitions depot in Gerdec. During a meeting with Chief Prosecutor Ina Rama, Withers stressed that any attempt to influence the investigation from outside would disappoint Washington. “It is a constitutional right of the prosecution to carry out this investigation and not of any government organ,” Withers said, adding that to resolve the issue parliament must settle the issue of immunity for members as soon as possible.

Separately Tuesday, Parliament Speaker Jozefina Topalli urged Rama to provide the assembly with additional documents regarding the lifting of former Defence Minister Fatmir Mediu’s immunity. He has been implicated in the deadly Gerdec blasts. (Koha Jone, Shqip - 04/06/08; VOA, TVSH, Klan, BalkanWeb - 03/06/08)

Schlagzeile in Albanien:

Sehr klare Worte eines guten US Botschafters in Albanien und genau das bringt zumindest in Albanien auch Glaubwürdigkeit der Amerikaner und einer Politik zurück!
