"Golden Bullet"/ Witness to the assassination attempt on Arben

The hearing on the "Golden Bullet" case is underway at the Special Court. In today's hearing, the ex-fiancée of Arben Çeta's cousin, who was executed in Elbasan in May 2014, testified.

Talo Çela and Nuredin Dumani are accused of this assassination. The witness was at the site where the assassination attempt on Çeta took place.

"I was having dinner with Armand Hoxha, my ex-fiancé, because it was my birthday. Arben Çeta was there, and my ex-fiancé is a cousin. At the last minute, we informed Arben Çeta to have dinner with us, because he lives next door to me. To my knowledge, Arben Çeta had been in prison for a murder. We stayed until 11:00 p.m. and then we left. Our cars were parked, Armand and I were alone, Çeta was alone. At the moment we were leaving, a shot was fired at Arben Çeta. He entered the bar once, while we were still there.

They continued to shoot him as he walked away towards the bar. We were lightly hit in the leg. Arben Çeta went to the bar counter. I was shocked because it was my birthday, later my ex-fiancé became interested in Arben.

"The incident happened in November 2013, I only saw one person wearing a mask. He shot from two meters away. I got straight into the car to escape. I did not see in which direction the perpetrator fled. We were at the "Balla" restaurant. The windows of the restaurant were broken. I had heard that he had committed a murder and that he had just been released from prison. I did not notice any concern in him during dinner. Even though I was injured, he was conscious, I went to the hospital, treated the wound, and notified the family ," she said in court. /CNA
