“Hidden cameras in a villa”, Karamuço on the intimate videos: Hila is not a victim, he will stand trial

Criminology professor Ervin Karamuço explained on “Top Story” the publication of intimate material involving Adrian Hila and other public figures. He stated that both recording people without their knowledge and distributing the videos constitute criminal offenses. The expert described what was in the setting where the videos were recorded, stressing that they were hidden-camera videos.

Karamuço: Hila is not a victim. We have to agree on that, that is all. That man will be tried and convicted for this. He brought those people into a house that had cameras, he deceived them, he sent them into a setting with cameras. It is the laptop that was used. There are several lines of inquiry being investigated. The police are looking into who the seller is, who took them to sell, they are formats that want to profit from clicks.

More videos came out today as well. They keep making money even though they are being clicked. They change IPs and the names of the videos and they keep spreading; you cannot stop it anymore, not even Europol, it is impossible. The first seller and the second seller are being sought.

Çakulli: As a criminal offense, in legal terms, is it the recording or the distribution of the videos? It could be a sexual maniac who wants to have those videos. I think the publication constitutes a flagrant criminal act.

Karamuço: Both constitute a criminal offense. If you do not tell the person you bring home that they are being filmed, you belong in prison. It is interference in a criminal offense, in filming without the author giving consent. He kept them at home and in a studio; the police could not find in which house these were. In the southeast there was a three-story villa; on the third floor an attic was found, which was both a studio and this room, this was on camera. It was thought, it was suspected, that besides expensive valuables he might also keep monetary valuables there. But these cameras were not exposed; they were hidden cameras.

The camera was connected to a laptop. I think the camera has not been found; if he does not show up tomorrow he will be declared wanted by the police. He has said he will come with a lawyer. From the videos it is clear that it is a hidden camera. It is obvious that it is a camera.
