One day after the former Chief Prosecutor, Adriatik Llalla, posted a letter claiming that the US Ambassador had asked him the President Ilir Meta, the Ambassador attended a meeting to the Presidency. The details of this conversation remain unknown.

Former Chief Prosecutor Adriatik Llalla made strong accusations against the US Ambassador in Tirana, Donald Lu, in a letter to the American Congress in May 2017.

In addition to accusing him for having links with the Soros Foundation in Albania and intervening in Justice Reform formation, Llalla says that in May 2015, during a meeting they had had, Lu asked Ilir Meta’s arrest, which at that time had the function of the Parliament Speaker. “His arrest would help enable a faster EU integration for Albania, according to the Ambassador”, Llalla wrote.

But Llalla adds that this request was totally irresponsible, forcing him to interrupt the meeting.

He told the US official, according to the letter, that the arrest of a high-level official could be done only through evidence.

Llalla said that the Embassy’s attack against him was after refusing to do this.

The request of Lu might have taken place on July 2016, when Meta answered indirectly to the US Ambassador./tvklan.al
