Eight years after the disappearance of Elvis Troqe, justice has produced only one formal act: the Vlora Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction has officially declared the 24-year-old missing. The decision, taken on June 15, 2026 and published in the Official Gazette, comes after a long period without clear answers about the young man’s fate.

The court decision after eight years without answers
According to the published decision, his mother, Marsela Troqe, has been appointed guardian for the administration of her son’s movable and immovable assets.
The official declaration of disappearance closes a civil procedure, but it does not answer the main question that has remained unresolved for years: what really happened to Elvis Troqe.
The final moments before he vanished
According to information made public during the investigation, Elvis Troqe was on the main road when a gray Mercedes-Benz vehicle approached him.
The 24-year-old was seen greeting the driver and then getting into the car. According to the investigative version, two other people were also inside the vehicle. After that moment, he was not seen again.
Suspicions of abduction and lines of investigation
The case has long raised suspicions that this was not an ordinary departure. The Vlora Prosecutor’s Office had identified, according to investigative data, elements that could be linked to the criminal offense of “abduction of a person.”
However, despite this serious suspicion, the investigation has so far not produced a proven account of the 24-year-old’s fate, nor any clear criminal responsibility.
Searches, statements and a case that remains unclear
As part of the investigation, a series of actions were carried out, including searches at the home of Inez Hajrulla.
During the investigation, Hajrulla stated that on the day of Troqe’s disappearance she had gone out for physiotherapy and that she had not known the young man.
Even after years of investigation and procedural actions, the fate of Elvis Troqe remains unclear. The court’s decision formalizes his absence in legal terms, but not the clarification of an event that has remained unanswered for eight years.
Publication in the Official Gazette makes the decision enforceable in the civil aspect, while in factual terms the case remains fundamentally open: a young man disappeared and, after eight years, the institutions still have not provided a convincing explanation for what happened.
For the family, this is a step imposed by the long absence; for public opinion, it remains another case in which time has passed faster than the answers.
