Vlora, Young Man Killed in Mafia-Style Sniper Assassination

23-year-old Gëzim Sinomataj was executed in a well-organized assassination on Sunday evening, while he was standing on the balcony of his apartment in Vlora. 

Having returned a few days ago from Belgium to celebrate the New Year with his family, the 23-year-old was shot by a sniper by as yet unidentified persons, dying on the spot. 

The perpetrators left the scene, helped by the darkness, and burned the "BMW" type vehicle with which they are suspected of committing the crime. The vehicle was found by the police burning in the "24 Maji" neighborhood. 

His name, especially the surname is known to justice. Some time ago, a tritol was placed near his apartment. 

22-year-old Gëzim Sinomataj is the son of Sokol Sinomataj, who is known by the nickname "buzederri". He escaped from Beijing Prison in 2017 after taking leave from Beijing Prison and never returned. 

It turns out that he was declared wanted with a green card on September 12, 2017. 

Immediately, as soon as he got out of prison, he took his brother Bernard and his teenage son at the time and left Albania. It is suspected that they settled in Belgium. 

In the year when he escaped, Sokol Sinomataj continued to serve his sentence for the murder of Elton Tato and the wounding of Robert Borak, an event that, according to the decision of the Vlora court, took place in June 2002. 

But he is also known as a soldier of Gaxhai's group, the police records show Sokol Sinomati and Armando Sulejmani (Cipuri), despite being found guilty of the first degree of serious crimes for participating in the armed gang of Gazmir Braka (Gaxhai), the court of high in decision No. 48 found them guilty only of theft by force. 

This may be the first clue to yesterday's murder in Vlora, but it will be the investigations that may bring other clues to light.
