The four Albanians who were killed under the rubble of a scaffolding which collapsed in Hamburg, and the fifth Albanian who is in a coma, were working in Germany with fake Bulgarian passports, the Albanian media outlet Shqiptarja writes.
That, according to Shqiptarja, led to all the difficulties in their identification. They were registered with Bulgarian papers by their employer, who is a Kosovo Albanian, and for whom they were working illegally. After the accident, the Kosovo Albanian disappeared, Shqiptarja writes further. The men who were killed are aged 31 to 35 and are Albanian citizens from Elbasan, Diber and Kukes. The scaffolding where they were working collapsed on the morning of 30 October on top of an elevator shaft. There are more people believed to be buried under the rubble. A recovery operation is underway to recover their bodies.
