TIRANA, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Albania's State Police found and seized ammunition, thousands of euros in cash and other evidences in the homes of three Albanian judges suspected of corruption, a spokesperson of the State Police confirmed on Friday in a press release.
Tens of special police forces entered early Friday morning the homes of three judges, Skender Damiani, Petrit Aliaj and Aleks Nikolla.
The operation comes a few days after the judges of the Court of Appeal in the capital Tirana decided to reduce the life sentence handed by the First Instance Court to Dritan Dajti, who is accused of killing four police officers during an operation for his arrest in summer 2009.
In reaction to the decision to sentence Dajti to 25 years in prison, the association of the retired police held a protest.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, said on Twitter that state police "broke the 30 year old myth of the untouchable judges."
"State police showed those people who killed justice for the four police officers who were murdered by a criminal, that time for the untouchables has come to an end," tweeted Rama.
"Albania's State Police is continuing the operation without interruption," said the press release.
