The court of Lezha has left the Portuguese Ruben Saraiva in prison. The Portuguese is accused of murdering businessman Ardian Nikulaj, an event that happened in Shengjin. Saraiva appeared today in front of the Lezha court, under strict security measures, as she requested a change in the security measure.
He also added that the decision will be appealed to the Court of Appeal because, according to him, there was not enough evidence.
In today’s session, the Portuguese’s lawyer emphasized that the only evidence against Ruben Saraiva is the testimony of a woman who, according to him, was taken under psychological pressure.
Businessman Ardian Nikulaj was killed on April 19, 2023 while he was drinking coffee in his bar in Shengjin. According to the investigations, it turned out that the murder was ordered by Edmond Haxhia.
Ruben Saraiva played the role of executioner while the British, Stephen Hunt, Thomas Mithan, Harriet Bridgeman, and for Harry Simpson, were the observers.
