He escaped after prison leave in Greece — where “strongman” Alket Rizai is suspected of hiding: He used police light bars to avoid checks

Other details have come to light regarding Alket Rizai’s escape in September in Greece.

He disappeared without a trace after taking leave from Domokos prison for a few days and after becoming involved in an armed clash.

Greek media report that he is suspected of having fled to Albania or Kosovo. According to a witness, Rizai used the light bars of Greek police cars and a loudspeaker during his escape to avoid any possible check.

According to reporting by “Protothema”, a driver who was moving near the place where the armed clash happened at a bar saw a signal activated from a car behind him, like the one the Greek Police use in conventional cars, while one of his passengers spoke to him through a loudspeaker.

Alket Rizai was involved in an incident with gunfire near a beach bar in Anavisos after taking leave from prison. It all started after the music at the beach bar was stopped because of the late hour.

Rizai was initially inside the bar with his company, but then went outside. Rizai is suspected of going to his vehicle together with several people and putting on music at a very high volume.

The owner of the bar came outside to reprimand them, sparking a fierce argument. The situation escalated quickly, while customers and employees of the bar went outside to see what was happening. At that moment, Rizai is suspected of pulling out a gun.
