Almer Toska, the director of the Timoni.al portal, is threatened after the

The director of the Timoni.al portal, Almer Toska, has faced open threats and insults towards his family after publishing an investigative article that exposed the alleged criminal activities of businessman Lul Morina. The investigation highlighted Morina's connections to politics, the benefits obtained through construction permits from Belinda Balluku, as well as his suspected past as a drug trafficker and trafficker of women in the 1990s.

Sources from the editorial office say that after the article was published, Morina used threatening language to try to scare Toska and force her to keep quiet. The threats also included insults towards his family, a typical method of individuals who have no arguments to refute the facts but only to exert pressure and intimidation.

Timoni.al's investigation clearly showed that Morina has exploited political connections to buy votes, obtain construction permits and strengthen his influence in the private and public markets. He has obtained great favors by using power and manipulating state mechanisms to advance personal interests, violating standards of transparency and the law.

Almer Toska has stated that threats will not stop him from his journalistic duties and that his commitment to bringing the truth to the public will continue without compromise. The editorial staff of Timoni.al emphasizes that any threat, insult or blackmail against journalists must be pursued by law enforcement agencies and receive the appropriate response.

This case is a clear example of the clash between crime, power and free journalism, and shows the importance of immediate action by the State Police and SPAK to guarantee the safety of journalists and protect the transparency of public information. Their silence or delay cannot be tolerated, as every minute of delay can be interpreted as support for individuals with criminal pasts and political connections.

The Albanian public now has the opportunity to understand how crime and politics come together to protect their interests and intimidate any journalist who denounces shady connections and suspicious activities. Timoni.al's investigation will not stop and will continue to uncover the truth, despite threats and pressure from individuals like Lul Morina.

???? Public Notice and Denunciation????

After the publication of the investigative article on businessman Lul Morina, which documented his criminal past as a woman and drug trafficker, his connections to the current government, and the acquisition of construction permits thanks to political support from Belinda Balluku, I have been openly threatened. Morina has sent me insulting messages to my family and has used blackmail language to intimidate me.

This action clearly shows that Morina has no argument against the published facts, but is trying to silence the truth with threats. He acts as he has always done, with violence and arrogance, believing that his connections with power protect him from the law. But this is no longer a personal issue between me and him, it is a public issue that affects the entire Albanian society.

The State Police and SPAK cannot remain silent. If open threats from a person with a criminal past are not enough to prompt action by law enforcement agencies, then this country is hostage to the power mafia and traffickers who have transformed into new oligarchs. The silence of the police means cooperation, the delay in action means protection, the lack of investigation means state capture.

Lul Morina is a clear example of how organized crime has integrated into politics and the economy. From a drug trafficker in the 1990s, he has now become a "successful businessman," buying votes for power and obtaining building permits in exchange for his services. And today, he dares to openly threaten journalists and citizens just because they publish the truth.

I say it clearly: threats do not scare me and will not stop me. On the contrary, they are living proof that my writing has struck at the heart of the truth. This is the moment when the Police, the Prosecution and SPAK must show whether they are in the service of citizens or in the service of traffickers connected to power.

Albania cannot continue to be a country where traffickers become builders, where vote buyers become government partners, and where threat makers are treated as untouchable. Lul Morina must be investigated, punished, and stopped before his threat becomes a reality for anyone else who dares to speak the truth.

The law cannot be a weapon in the hands of those in power, the law must be the protection of citizens. And if the Police and SPAK remain silent today, tomorrow no one will have faith in the state.
