Jani Aliaj, the 49-year-old Albanian man suspected of being the victim of a paid assassination, was transferred to a men's prison in Greece, despite known threats against him. Information about the plan to kill Aliaj was early for the Greek police.

Greek national television ANT1 reported that Aliaj had previously been transferred to the women’s prison for protection reasons, given the existence of a death contract against him. According to Greek journalist Panagiotis Stathis, “Suddenly, a short while ago, it was decided to transfer him back to the main men’s branch, without any justification.”

The same sources report that two months earlier, Aliaj had suffered his first attack in prison and had escaped, but despite the clear danger to his life, no protective measures were taken. He remained in an environment where the risk from potential attackers was high.

The journalist of ANT1 adds that the situation shows a great responsibility, both criminal and disciplinary, and raises questions for law enforcement: "Are those responsible being sought? If a murder were to occur at the Police Station, the entire department would be disbanded. Now, are they just spectators of crimes, without any responsibility?"
