Two days without any trace of Jurgen Karaj, RENEA divers and army personnel

The search for 30-year-old Jurgen Karaj, a resident of the village of Fullqet, who is suspected of being swept away by a stream in the village of Darsë, continued today.

It was the Minister of Defense, Pirro Vengu, who, through a post on social networks, announced that the Special Operations Regiment's divers and 22 members of the Armed Forces are continuing their search without interruption to find the young man who was allegedly swept away by the Mat River after a car accident.

According to the minister, with the help of drones and specialized equipment, every meter of terrain is being controlled, from the Darsa bridge in Klos to the municipality of Mat.

Yesterday, the search extended along the Mat River and continued throughout the day, but was suspended after darkness fell. The operation resumed in the early hours of this morning.

The young man's family members, as well as local residents, are also involved in the search, who are assisting authorities on the ground.

We recall that Jurgen Karaj was in the vehicle driven by 24-year-old Andi Losha. Investigations revealed that Losha had gotten out of the water without notifying the police, leaving his friend, Jurgen Karaj, in the middle of the stream.

Andi Losha is accused of leaving the scene after the accident and failing to provide assistance to the passenger, 30-year-old Jurgen Karaj, who is now missing.

This citizen also underwent an alcohol test after being stopped and it turned out that he was driving while intoxicated at the time of the accident, at 01:30 yesterday morning.
