Arrested for the first time in 2000 for the murder of a Russian soldier, Faton Hajrizi from the Municipality of Skenderaj, would turn into a person with a long criminal history and fame for many escapes from Kosovo prisons.
For the last time he escaped from an open prison in Kosovo on July 6, 2024. A few days later he became a suspect in the murder of a policeman in Serbia and was killed while on the run by the Serbian authorities. on July 19.
At the time of his last escape from Kosovo, Faton Hajrizi was described as a disciplined prisoner who had even earned the right to go home on weekends.
From murders to stealing phones - What was Faton Hajrizi accused of?
"He grew up in good family circumstances and did well until the time of the war."
This was one of the descriptive sentences for the life story of Faton Hajrizi, from the village of Klinë e Ulët in Skenderaj, in a court document from 2001.
This document is the earliest in Hajrizi's criminal history, which began in early 2000, a few months after the end of the war between Serbian forces and the Kosovo Liberation Army in 1999.
According to the documents obtained by Radio Free Europe from the Courts of Kosovo, he was convicted at least three times by two different courts for crimes related to murder, attempted murder, theft and robbery.
Faton Hajrizi is best known for killing a Russian soldier of the NATO mission in Kosovo, KFOR, on February 29, 2000. At that time, he was 15 years old.
As described in a decision of the District Court in Mitrovica, the murder took place in one of Skenderaj's squares, after Hajrizi first took the soldier's weapon and then wounded him.
The soldier with the initials IK subsequently died on March 2 of that year from his injuries.
Hajrizi was detained in various detention centers since the beginning of 2000, while with a decision of March 2001, he was sentenced to an "educational measure" of one to five years, which would be precisely decided later.
With this measure, he would be sent to an "Education Center" and "would be under the supervision of a professional team."
It is not known where exactly Hajrizi was sent after this decision.
But, in several interviews that he had given in recent months to the Kosovo media, he claims that he was sent to the Correctional Center continuously together with adults and not with minors, which category he belonged to at that time.
In addition to the murder of the soldier, in the 2001 ruling, Hajrizi was also convicted of one case of attempted murder, three cases of theft, mainly of car parts, and two cases of misuse of cars (using them without permission).
Të gjitha këto vepra, sipas gjykatës, u kryen kryesisht nga fillimi i vitit 2000 deri në fillimin e vitit 2001, në Skenderaj, Drenas, Prishtinë dhe Mitrovicë e Jugut.
Vendimi i dytë gjyqësor për Faton Hajrizin u mor sërish nga Gjykata e atëhershme e Qarkut në Mitrovicë, më 24 janar të vitit 2008.
Kësaj here ai u dënua për dy vepra të grabitjes së armatosur, që sipas gjykatës, i bëri në bashkëpunim me dikë tjetër me iniciale B.B, në vitin 2006, në Skenderaj.
Në këto grabitje, ata morën para, telefona, cigare e mbushje telefoni.
Hajrizi u dënua, po ashtu, për armëmbajtje pa leje.
Atij iu shqiptua dënimi me gjashtë vjet burgim dhe iu konfiskuan armë.
Në kohën e dënimit ai kishte qenë duke qëndruar në paraburgim nga maji i vitit 2006.
Gjykata Themelore në Prishtinë i tha Radios Evropa e Lirë se Faton Hajrizi ishte dënuar edhe nga kjo gjykatë në vitin 2019, për vrasje në tentativë.
Këtë herë ai ishte dënuar me një vit burgim.
REL-i nuk ka arritur të sigurojë të dhëna nga gjykatat e tjera vendore në lidhje me raste të mundshme penale apo dënime të Faton Hajrizit.
“Nga dritarja e tualetit e ventilatori”- arratisjet e Faton Hajrizit
Hajrizi besohet të jetë arratisur për rreth 9 herë nga institucionet korrektuese të Kosovës, ndonëse Shërbimi Korrektues i Kosovës (SHKK) nuk e ka konfirmuar numrin e saktë. Madje, ai ka deklaruar për mediat në Kosovë që ka ikur edhe nga baza ushtarake amerikane në Kosovë, Bondsteel.
SHKK-ja, kishte thënë se deri në kohën e arratisjes, në korrik të vitit 2024, Faton Hajrizi kishte mbajtur 17 vjet e 5 muaj të dënimit të tij me burgim, ndërsa i mbeteshin edhe 7 vjet e 6 muaj burgim.
Viti 2000
Shumë pak kohë pasi ishte burgosur për herë të parë, Hajrizi arriti të arratisej nga vendi ku po mbahej.
Shumica e arratisjeve të tij, të paktën tri ose katër, kishin ndodhur rreth vitit 2000, siç përshkruhet nga dokumentet zyrtare dhe nga vetë Hajrizi në intervistat e dhëna për media.
“Vetëm në gjykatë jam trajtuar si i mitur, jo në burgje”, kishte thënë Hajrizi në një intervistë për emisionin “Betimi për Drejtësi”, të transmetuar në Kohavision.
Sipas tij, arratisjen e parë e kishte kryer nga Qendra e Paraburgimit në Mitrovicën Veriore rreth orës 5 të mëngjesit, duke dalë nga dritarja e tualetit.
Në arratisje të tjera, Hajrizi pretendonte se kishte prerë edhe grilat me sharra të kontrabanduara nga jashtë, si dhe kishte përdorur ventilatorin si dalje.
Vetë Gjykata e Qarkut në Mitrovicën e Veriut në aktvendimin për dënimin e tij më 2001, përmend se 15-vjeçari në atë kohë ishte arratisur një herë nga Qendra e Paraburgimit në Mitrovicë në mars të vitit 2000 dhe një herë tjetër në nëntor të atij viti, në Qendrën e Paraburgimit në Skenderaj.
Ndonëse nuk e saktëson numrin, në vendim po ashtu thuhet se “i paraburgosuri bëri përpjekje dhe ia doli të shpëtonte disa herë nga burgu”.
Viti 2005
Një arratisje tjetër e Faton Hajrizit përshkruhet në një raport të Departamentit të Shtetit Amerikan.
According to this report, Hajrizi had escaped from Peja prison in August 2005 and was then captured again in October 2006.
"He remained in custody at the end of the year (2006)," the report states.
Year 2007
Together with six other people, Faton Hajrizi had also escaped from Dubrava Prison in Istog.
According to media reports at the time, "after passing the prison fences, the seven prisoners were met by other people, who started shooting at the prison guards."
Year 2012
This time in the Detention Center in Prizren, Faton Hajrizi escaped during his daily walk.
According to the reports, he had crossed the wall of the courtyard, "holding on to a rainwater gutter and through several circles of barbed wire, he jumped from the high wall several meters".
"Three shots from the guard's 'Glock 19' pistol alerted the situation and very quickly the guards and the police started chasing the fugitives," Hazir Berisha, spokesman for the regional police in Prizren, had stated at the time for the medium Kallxo.com.
The year 2024
At least in the last months, Faton Hajrizi was staying in the "open type" prison in Smrekonica, Vushtrri, which means in low security measures.
According to SKK officials, he had used the right to go home several times during the weekend and had even applied to do work outside the correctional institutions.
His escape took place on July 6 around 1 am.
"The correctional officers have been temporarily suspended until the end of the investigations, as it is suspected that they did not notice the departure of the convict in time through the monitoring of the cameras", it was said in the KSK communique.
His escape then caused a stir on social networks as Hajrizi posted videos mainly on the TikTok platform, defying the institutions that were looking for him.
"You can't catch me", was the dominant message in the video.
The killing of the policeman in Serbia and the last escape of Hajrizi
After the last escape on July 6, Hajrizi's whereabouts were not known for a while.
His name started to be mentioned again on July 18, when Serbia reported the killing of a police officer in the western city of Lloznica.
According to initial suspicions, the glover had fled, while the documents of a person named Artan Hajrizi were found at the scene.
It was later learned that Artan was Faton's brother, who came from Germany claiming that his brother had stolen his documents to use for escape.
As a murder suspect, Fatoni was wanted by the Serbian authorities for several hours, until the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that he had been killed while fleeing from the Police.
However, the Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs, Dacic, said that the Serbian authorities will ask Germany to extradite his brother, Artan Hajrizi, who, according to him, is suspected of being an accomplice in this case.\ REL
