Albanian singers Soni Malaj, Don Phenom and Sinan Vllasaliu have been arrested by the Swiss police.
The artists were to perform at an “Eid Party” that was scheduled to be held on April 13 in Switzerland.
But according to media reports, the event failed after the Swiss police entered the control, arresting the well-known singers of the Albanian scene, who were held for 48 hours by the Swiss police.
Labiront Rexha was part of the group of singers who would perform at the concert, but he was not stopped by the police because he possessed Swiss citizenship.
He stated that this happened because tourist visas should not be used to work because people who commit this offense are punished with a 10-year ban from going to Switzerland to perform.
“I have Swiss citizenship, there was a general check by the Swiss police in other clubs as well. After 23:00, the control came in. When I went out, I saw about 150 policemen checking. They checked me too, I have the right to work. The others, Sinan Vllasaliu, Soni Malaj, Don Phenom, Eugena Aliu, were detained for 48 hours together with the owner. The discotheque is continuing with work… Those who think that visa liberalization is also with work are wrong. You do not have the right to work in Switzerland. There you have to get a work visa permit and pay the tax one month before. If they come under control, they no longer have the right to perform for another 10 years…”, said Rexha.
