OPERATIVE RECORD
I remember that in 1976, the former Deputy Director of the Directorate of Tirana, Kadri Ismailati (died in April 1977), told me that: “During the years 1957, 1958, 1959, when I was at work, the head of the Intelligence Security of the Border in the districts of Gjirokastër and Sarandë, I was pursuing some processes, which were related to the Teme Sejkos Group. Even, through the agency that I held at that time in relation, I managed to learn that………..!
In 1959, I was called to report to the Directorate of State Security, about the connections I was processing. We did the analysis at Kadri Hazbiu, where Mihallaq Ziçishti was among the main cadres (he didn’t tell me the names).
The name of…….. was not mentioned at all in this analysis, although we had gathered for the full disclosure of the hostile activity of a hostile group, a member of which came out and………… …….!
I couldn’t bear it and after everyone left, I came back and asked for a meeting with Kadri Hazbi and being alone I told him that………..! He told me that; how do you know this and even though you had ordered him to be careful not to take the pictures in his mouth.
As Kadri Ismailati told me, about Teme Sejko, there was information from the agency of the border area, but concretely, he did not tell me the nicknames.
In 1977, (a few days before Kadri Ismailati died), around April 15 or 16, the former director of the Directorate of Tirana, Nustret Dauti, sent me to the ministry for a work matter. In the corridor, I remember meeting Kadri Hazbi, and in the distance, after saying goodbye, I told him that Kadri Ismailati had died.
He stopped and told me that Kadriu was a skilled and prepared cadre, even though he had no schooling, he was intelligent and quite sharp. Among other things, he told me that in 1959, Kadri Ismailati had told him that…….but I denied it only for reasons of secrecy, since it was a problem that only some cadres here in the Ministry knew about.
As far as I remember, around 1976 or 1977, the month of June, by order of Kadri Hazbiu, by order of a P.Op. of Tirana, we were invested with a case related to my friend Kostandina Nauni, a nurse close to the family of the main leader of the Party. In the analysis and the task we received at the Ministry, there were Feçori, friend Xhule, Gëzim Hila, head of the Branch in Elbasan and someone else I don’t remember.
We were told that in a few days, to take measures to find out who had sent a girl from Elbasan to the house of Kostandina, who then met her, she was told that; you are my real mother, you have abandoned me. We were told that there is no other Constantine with this last name, who gave birth to another child out of wedlock.
From the clarification of the case, it turned out that this girl was from Elbasan, born in 1953, from Kostandina Nauni, but not the one who works in the main leader’s group.
I think that this issue should be clarified, because it may have been manipulated and conspired with certain goals by Kadri Hazbiu and Feçor Shehu, who could clarify that it was true that Kostandina Nauni, (who worked for the escort group), was born (…………………………) this with…………..!
