He was a member of the notable Kryeziu family from Gjakova, known to be trusted by Yugoslav authorities inside Albanian political circles.
[3] He proved useful for Ahmet Zogu due to his membership in Nikola Pašić's Radical Party and having a good relationship with Ljubomir Davidović.
[5] After the return of Zog in Albania, he was given the rank of colonel and put in charge of the Albanian army stationary in Shkodër, where he showed extreme diligence in persecuting and eliminating members of the former Democratic Opposition and people who contributed in the June Revolution.
Kryeziu was directly responsible for the assassination of Asllan Curri, Zija Dibra, and the Montenegrin nationalist and anti-Yugoslav Marko Raspopović.
In 1925, after his relations with the Yugoslavs were exposed due to the confrontation with the special emissary of Nikola Pašić in Tirana, Branko Lazarević, Zog suspected that he might be involved in a plot against him and exiled him to France.
Many hypothetical suggestions have been made, including Kryeziu blood feuds, or rival clans, and most likely the Italians, who feared the Yugoslavs strengthening their influence over Albania.
[8] Ceno Bey was the father of Tati Kryeziu, who, for a short period, was the successor of the Royal crown, until the birth of Leka I in 1939.
