Enea Ftoi: found dead in Korça police cell, 17 May 2018
Status: Outcome not found in sources reviewed
Summary
Enea Ftoi, 27, was detained on 14 May 2018 for violent robbery and found dead in his cell at the Korça police precinct on 17 May, hours before a court hearing. The family says police violence caused the death and that they learned of it only at the court. The Albanian Helsinki Committee found discrepancies between the custody log (a single medical check on 15 May at 15:00 per the logs it reviewed) and the court letter and shift register, and demanded a complete and independent prosecution investigation. A Shqiptarja report (undated in the results) cites a forensic finding that no violence was used, attributed to Deputy Interior Minister Romina Kuko.
