Former Socialist MP Jurgis Çyrbja has been behind bars for days, after being accused of leaking state information, informing crime figures in the Durrës area to escape police operations. He left his mandate shortly before SPAK took him into custody.
The messages that are leaking to the media from his SPAK file, about the messages exchanged on “SKY” are truly worrying, as they show a close collaboration between crime and politics.
“…the area is choked with the Tirana operatives from you, Maminas, Katarrug. They are moving because they are on their way there. They just called me from Tirana on the phone, do you have a place to move me or I will come to Tirana. Report the lab. “Oh, my brothers are with Rrubjek, over there…”, Çyrbja wrote to an unidentified person.
At that time, the SP MP, Jurgis Çyrbja, informed the wanted person that he should take care not to be caught, by informing other people, including a person with the nickname “Labi”.
According to the file obtained by the journalist of “Ora News”, Elton Qyno, from the analysis of the communications made between Çyrbja and the other wanted person, it results that the SP MP informed the interlocutor on two occasions, on February 25, 2021 and in March 2021.
Following that, he asked the interlocutor if there was a safe place where he could hide, or if he wanted him to go and get him. The MP even ordered the other wanted person to inform other social connections who had problems with the law about this. information.
While the person still unidentified by SPAK, asks Jurgys Çyrbjan in surprise, saying that he did not understand the messages sent by writing in the “Sky” application:
“…How are you, brother? I don’t understand. I’m not giving a damn…”.
Jurgis Çyrbja tells him that it was something serious since the Tirana Operational Forces come to the area only to catch the wanted persons. According to the content of the communication from February 2021, it is suspected that the other person still unidentified is also a person declared wanted by law enforcement agencies.
“…brother, they called me from Tirana and told me that the Tironërs operational force has arrived in Manëz, Maminas, Rrubjek, Katarrug. And they are coming for the wanted persons…. Notify Labin, because he is not answering. Stay somewhere else for safety. Okay, brother, maybe they are not for you, but for safety I am saying…”.
After this moment, the interlocutor confirms to Jurgis Çyrbe that he had understood the message sent and that they would continue to remain hidden: “…Ok ok brother, this is how we will stay…”, the other person tells Çyrbe.
In the following communications on the “Sky” application, he orders the interlocutor under investigation to write to him about any situation as he would be there if there was any problem: “…Write to me about anything and I will come, if you have anything…”.
Also, in the communication between them on March 6, 2021, the SP official, Jurgis Çyrbe, again informs the person under investigation that the next day in the early hours of the morning (which corresponds to March 7, 2021), they had informed him that police officers would go from Tirana to Shijak, with the aim of making arrests.
The Çyrba writes to the wanted person that: “…they just informed me that at 5 o’clock in the morning they are coming to Shijak. Keep your eyes open so they don’t go there either. That at that hour they are only for arrests. They told me to go to Shijak, but as you know, be careful…”.
And the wanted person confirms the fact that he was leaving: “…Ok ok, I’m leaving…”.
Given this situation, SPAK says that there are reasonable suspicions based on evidence that public officials (unidentified), in this episode, contrary to the regular fulfillment of their duties, have revealed several acts that the law defines as secret.
