In a recent interview with the Greek media outlet Protothema.gr, Jani Zoto, a 54-year-old Albanian man who was accused of fatally stabbing 43-year-old Aciu Flopjca-Aurica, has opened up about his three-year ordeal behind bars.
Zoto began the conversation with a poignant statement: "No one believed I was innocent; I was unjustly thrown into prison." This is a profound emphasis on the pain and injustice Zoto has endured in recent years.
He continued to express, "Ultimately, there is a God. God had mercy on me and helped uncover the truth. In truth, now I can say that I feel vindicated after many hardships. No one believed I was innocent. Everyone thought I was a murderer, and I was wrongly imprisoned." Zoto's words reflect the desperation and isolation he experienced throughout his incarceration.
Zoto also shared his experiences during the three years he spent in prison, saying, "I went to prison when I was innocent, and I cried, but no one listened. They were the toughest years of my life. There's nothing more degrading than being labeled a murderer without having committed any crime."
"I spent three years of my life in prison when I was innocent, and I cried, but no one listened. They were the toughest years of my life. There's nothing more degrading than being labeled a murderer without having committed any crime. I felt my honor and dignity were being destroyed, and I couldn't do anything about it. My children were saddened to hear that their father was considered a murderer," Zoto added.
He also emphasized, "This woman was my companion; I lived with her, and I couldn't harm anyone. I want to continue my life and leave behind this stigma that will haunt me forever."
