Petrit Qoli, defendant in the "Golden Bullet" case, was questioned by prosecutors in the courtroom.

Qoli: From 2002 to 2013 I had fishing boats, I worked as a ship captain. The ships Dibra and Sazani.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I also have a law degree, at Kristali.

Meanwhile, I have also built 9 buildings, and I have also been involved in construction.

Behar Dibra: Where did you get the idea for construction?

I have a cousin, Mustafa Laçon. He is a builder, he must be 80 years old. I told him I have 300 thousand marks.

I built the first one at the archaeological pit, behind the Palace of Culture.

Where did you find this money?

From fishing, I always had boats, I told you.

I have a brother I never had, Festim Qoli. And a sister, Rezana Qoli.

While you were fishing, what did your brother do?

He had 5 businesses, a coffee bar and a gym. I had built them. Festimi was a master of stolen cars. He always dealt in car sales, duplicates. He had many Italian friends. Then work became difficult. I don't know where he met the Italians.

I had bought a plot of land in Rruzhbull.

Who is Agron?

Agron Qoli is my uncle's son. He's a model boy, after me, but I don't have a friend. He works in construction. We haven't worked together.

I have built 8-9 buildings. Even the mosque in Rruzhbull. We haven't worked with Festim, I have a brother, but it's a disaster for our family.

Did Festimi have any income?

I'm not Festimi's economist, but there was a wedding venue, it's normal that there was money.

Have you been out of the country?

Yes, of course, I had a ship. I know that Festimi has a very rich Bulgarian daughter. I know that she also has an English passport. She is very rich, she sells construction materials. She was not beautiful… but.. I don't know what Festimi sees in her.

Festim and I used to see each other for iftar and birthdays. He had company with Laerti from Palma Nova. As soon as I started hanging out with him, he became cold.

We always went like Tom and Jerry.

Have you had any ownership claims?

I have mortgaged all the apartments. No concrete was poured without me being there. I am self-taught. (A2 Television)
