'Kateshi's' connections with Altin Dardha, after the massacres in Elbasan, he hid in the bases of 'Qorri'

Tan Kateshi and his gang left Elbasan. Their city was no longer safe for them.

For several weeks they hid in Berat. There, it is said, they were under the protection of Altin Dardha, one of the most feared figures in the country at the time.

" The history of Elbasan is a crime story that is connected to many other cities. Problematic characters, with criminal backgrounds, have been linked to almost every gang in Albania ," said Kreshnik Myftari, a law professor.

The war between the "Kateshi Gang" and the boys from the "Banesa" neighborhood was just beginning. The revenge was not over yet.

One afternoon, three people associated with Kateshi, Alfir Sadushi, Arben Shkodrani and Kastriot Dervishi, returned to the “Banesa” neighborhood. They went there under the pretext that they wanted to visit a friend to watch pigeons, a passion they shared. But at that time, every move was viewed with suspicion. Their return to that neighborhood was perceived as a provocation or challenge.

" It was the mentality of the time where dealing with injustice also showed a kind of danger for the person, so that it would not become entertainment for other criminal groups, so that there would be no problems with other groups, plus public opinion ," said Kreshnik Myftari, a law professor.

As soon as their car appeared, the “Banesa” boys reacted without hesitation. A hail of bullets hit the vehicle. Sadushi and Shkodrani were killed on the spot, while Dervishi was seriously injured.

It was an immediate act of revenge, a clear message: the “Banesa” neighborhood had another owner. News of that event spread quickly in Elbasan, further fueling tensions. The conflict had just taken an even more violent turn…/ Top Channel
