The Special Court has released from the cell the former head of IKMT Saranda, Julian Preni and the former employee of the Saranda Urban Planning Office, Arjel Balani, who were convicted of corruption and illegal influence for a beach permit and in the procedure followed for the demolition of a building on the coast.
GJKKO sentenced Balani and Preni to 1.4 years in prison in June of this year, after they were accused of demanding bribes from the citizen, Foti Doda, in connection with an object built on the beach of Ksamil.
Arjel Balani asked Foti Doda and Sofia Doda for an amount of 12,000 Euros, in order to exert illegal influence on the National Coastal Agency, with the aim of issuing the permission to use the beach.
In July 2021, Arjel Balani took 6,000 Euros from these citizens, talking that the rest would be given to him when the permit was issued, but later the agreement was not fulfilled and he returned the monetary amount .
While Julian Preni in March 2020, acting at that time - head of IKMT, Sarandë branch, asked Foti Doda for 7,500 Euros, in order not to destroy the building he had built on Ksamil beach.
After negotiating, Foti Doda gave Julian the sum of 3000 Euros. As a result of this corrupt action, Foti Doda's building was not demolished in 2020, even though there was a demolition decision by the IKMT since September 2019. From the documentation administered by the IKMT, it appears that the object of the citizen Foti Doda is broken only on 07.06.2021.
