One person seriously injured in a shooting in Schaerbeek: we know more about the motive for the attack
The Brussels public prosecutor’s office did not reveal anything regarding the motive for the dispute. But for our part, we conducted our own investigation and a journalist specializing in criminal cases in Albania also contacted our editorial staff to try to obtain more information. To them, it is clear that this is a settling of scores between rival families. “In Albania, her brother was convicted of murdering two people”He told us.
He pays for the acts committed by his brother
Our source is clear: the victim of Sunday’s attack in Schaerbeek is Agustin Kaza, aged 44 and originally from Albania. We do not know how long he has been in Belgium, nor whether he was living there illegally, but in the past he was reported to be associated with a criminal organization and has lived in Belgium for more than 5 years. Had not given his information to the officials.
He was shot dead on Sunday, allegedly to avenge an act committed by his brother 26 years ago. “According to the information we have received in Albania, Agustin Caza is related to Martin Caza. They are brothers.”A journalist specializing in criminal incidents tells us. “We have received this information from our own sources in the Albanian police but the authorities have not yet made any official statement.”Our negotiator continues.
Martin Kaza was convicted of the July 3, 1997 murder of two brothers, Dodd and Augustin Gjini, in Mirdita, a town in northern Albania. “At the time, it was said that the murder was carried out out of revenge, in fact, in 1994, in the city of Reshen, Ndeu Caza, brother of Martin and Agustín Caza, was murdered”He explains to us.

Ndu Kaza was allegedly assassinated by Dod Ghajini on January 7, 1994. To avenge his brother, Martin Caza murdered Dodd and Augustin Gazzini before escaping. According to several Albanian media outlets, Martin Kaza fled to England to seek asylum, claiming to be a war refugee from Kosovo. There, he allegedly used a false identity, calling himself Naeem Karagjia.
He was not arrested in London until June 2016. He was then extradited from Britain to Albania in December 2017, where he was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the double murder.
Law of “Law”
Albanian media say the events that took place in Sërbiq on Sunday evening were carried out by a hitman in retaliation. However, this information has not been confirmed by the Brussels public prosecutor’s office, which continues to investigate and is not communicating further this Tuesday. “Albanian police and Belgian police are in communication about this case and its past”What an Albanian journalist specializing in criminal incidents tells us.
But for our interlocutor, Agustin was a victim of what in Albania is called “law” law. “Here, many murders are committed for reasons of vengeance because in the North, there are still people who follow the law of law: the law of Leke Dukagjini”He explains in detail.
There is a possibility of someone else in your family being attacked, but he should be of the same blood as you
According to a political scientist specializing in Albania and organized crime whom we interviewed, the law was “A Lesson in Customary Law in Albanian Society in the Middle Ages.”
In this text we find this principle of blood equivalent retribution/vengeance. There is a notion of “transversal” retribution. “If the person who harms us is inaccessible and we cannot take our vengeance on him directly; then he is likely to attack another person in the family, but who must be of the same blood as the father”Experts tell.

Please note, the law cannot be enforced within the individual’s household. This means that if the person remains hidden in the house, we cannot attack him. In Albania, the rule of law is still frequently used. “About a year ago, a group from London was paid to come here and kill a businessman in Albania, almost 20 years later, only because of law enforcement.”He says.
“In Albania we have laws, a constitution and a penal code. The laws are very old, but in the north of Albania you can find some families – even if they are few – that still use these laws but keep in mind that These aren’t actual laws, it’s something from the past that they still maintain.”That’s the conclusion of a journalist specializing in criminal matters.
