Albanian Young Man Shot to Death in Spain Identified

A 29-year-old Albanian who was shot and left in front of the emergency room of Trueta in Girona, has been identified this Thursday.

According to the authorities, the victim is young man Endrit Sinaj, who had a past related to marijuana and violent robbery in Spain and Albania.

Among other things, the international media revealed that the 29-year-old was released on bail a few days before he was killed, after he was arrested together with a compatriot in an operation related to the marijuana traffic in Marbella.

Sinaj was arrested in La Selva and the court in Blanes, which was then suspended in a court in Marbella, granted him temporary freedom, unlike his colleague, who was jailed.

On April 23, a compatriot left him mortally wounded in front of the Trueta hospital. The young man had received a bullet in the abdomen that caused his death, but the place of the event and the perpetrator of the crime are still unknown.

On the first day, thanks to the license plate of the car captured by the cameras, the police found the man who had left him in Trueta's emergency room, another Albanian.

In his testimony, the Albanian said that he had picked up the injured man on the side of the road, but gave no further information, although the Mossos took him to the police station in Girona and interrogated him for a long time and even searched his house in Tordera.

However, it was not considered to be related to the crime and he was released and the next day the car, a Seat Córdoba, in which he had taken the victim to El Trueta, was returned to him.

Endrit Sinaj also had open accounts in Albania, where according to information in the media it was said that he was part of the group of five people who were arrested in October 2020 in the city of Vlora.

International media reported that Sinaj and his colleagues, after checking their target with a drone, attacked a house wearing hoods, armed and pretending to be policemen.

The owner of the house and his son were angry and to avoid the theft, they confronted the perpetrators, who ended up running away.

Among other things, it was said that, with a very quick and effective operation, the police managed to identify and arrest the five perpetrators of the failed assassination attempt on the apartment.

They confiscated a Mercedes Benz vehicle, with which they went to the raided house, and a Nissan that was driven by one of the suspects at the time of the arrest.

Moreover, they confiscated cell phones and other evidence, but never found the weapon they carried when they carried out the attack.

The five young men were brought before the court and the court imprisoned three of the suspects (Alfred Shametaj, Ervin Dhima and Enerik Meçaj), while Endrit Sinaj and his companion Lulëzim Elmazaj gained temporary freedom with the obligation to appear before the court when it happened.
