The famous Albanian singer, Elsa Lila, has just published her first book, “Welcome to Rebibbia”.
To promote her book, Elsa Lila gave an interview to journalist Rudina Xhunga, where she confessed that while she was in a prison cell, another woman had tried to kill her.
But fortunately for her, in the prison premises she had met an Albanian girl, who had taken her under her protection.
And consequently she had saved her life!
Elsa Lila: I was in 41bis and I could not communicate with anyone outside. I can’t even mention the names of the clan that was inside that protected me…
Rudina Xhunga: But was there a clan that called you and said…?
Elsa Lila: It was a clan that, through the Albanian girl, gave me access and protection.
Rudina Xhunga: Because if you don’t have protection, could it happen like it happened to you that they came to kill you?
Elsa Lila: Yes! Anything can happen there. I had access to some people who gave me protection. Anything can happen there. Because there are convicted criminals who are not even mentally balanced and can harm you, but not because they have a problem with you.
Coincidence meant that I found some people inside, like the Albanian girl and the two guards who protected me inside. They filled me with strength, courage and let’s also say that I have not had a simple life. I do not come from a fairy tale life. I have had a life out of the ordinary.
Elsa Lila was arrested in 2022 after being suspected of being part of a criminal organization that dealt with drug sales in Rome.
According to reports in the Italian media at the time, the group consisted of 13 people, Italians and Albanians, while Lila supposedly had the role of “the group’s financier”.
A black notebook was found in her house, inside which all the cocaine data was said to have been recorded.
