Baci, F.Nikolla.Interior Minister Halit Shamata stated on Sunday at a news conference that the number of crimes for 1996 has reached 5 341, 85 per cent of whose authors have been uncovered. Shamata made the annual analysis of the activity of the insitution he runs. He underlined the fact that "169 crimes per 100 000 inhabitants or one crime in every 100 minutes have averagely taken place during this year. This figure, compared to one year ago, has been reduced to 32 crimes for 100 000 inhabitants, Shamata said. The number of crimes has fallen by 16 per cent with the discovering capacity increasing by one per cent, he said. "Some 198 penal offences, which have taken place during the previous years, have been discovered during 1996". The criminal activity of several groups posing a social threat has been discovered during 1996. Shamata mentioned the criminal groups in the cities of Berat, Shkoder, Korca and Durres, the terrorist organisation "Albanian Justice revenge", the group of vehicle robbery, the group which falsified official documents and vouchers and others. The crimes against the individual amount to 1 457 cases, 93 per cent of which have been discovered. "In contrast with one year ago the number of these crimes has been reduced by 8.4 per cent, which the discovery capacity has remained the same, " Shamata said. During this year there have been 204 cases of deliberate killings, 83.4 per cent of which have been discovered. Dwelling on the act of raping he said that "during 1996 there have been 107 cases, which have been uncovered by 100 per cent. This year there have been seven cases more of this crime as opposed to the last year." "Some 13 cases of robberies occurring in the past years have been discovered during this year," said Shamata mentioning here the robbery in the Savings Bank in Tirana and Vlora, the robberies which resulted in the death of two moneychangers in Tirana, the theft of the Epitaph of Gllavenica and other cases. Speaking of the improvement of the legislation which regulates the activity of the Albanian police, Shamata said that the avenues for a more efficient attacking policy are the new legal base, the creation of the police structures in accordance with the directions in which the criminal activity is committed and the special relations defended by law that are affected by this activity as well as the qualification of the police effective. For this reason the draft-law on "The State Police" has been prepared. Recently the People's Assembly approved a package of laws to strengthen penal sanctions against those who commit crimes like prostitution, theft or document falsification in the financial activity, organisation of illegal traffic, illegal possession of weapons and other crimes. Two agreements of cooperation have been signed and two protocols have been renewed with Italy and Turkey during 1996, Shamata said. Seminars have been held in Germany, the U.S., Italy, France and an agreement has been signed for the release of an aid in police equipment worth one million D.M. with the FR of Germany. "Media should play an important role in sensitizing the citizens of the danger threatening those cultivating drug. I do not think there is an organised crime in Albania. I also do not think there can be a drug refinery in Albania, but only a traffic of it," Shamata said. a.ke/kei/lm/k From the Albanian Telegraphic Agency (ATA) Home Page at http://www.telpress.it/ataAlbanian Telegraphic Agency Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
