The Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime has left in force the security measure "prison arrest" for former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj, within the framework of the SASPAC file.
The decision was made this Wednesday by Judge Miliana Muça, who approved Decision No. 362, dated May 25, 2026, of the Special Court of First Instance, dismissing the appeal filed by Beqaj.
The former minister had requested the replacement of the security measure "prison arrest" with the measure "house arrest." As an alternative, he had also proposed replacing it with a "property guarantee," offering the amount of 2 million lek or another amount that the court would deem appropriate.
After reviewing the appeal, the GJKKO Appeal decided to uphold the First Instance decision, confirming the current security measure of "prison arrest" for Ilir Beqaj in the context of the investigations related to the SASPAC file.
In the “SASPAC” file, SPAK accuses Beqaj of 6 criminal offenses in 27 episodes. The charges include corruption in 2 cases, violation of equality in tenders in 8 cases, falsification of documents in 9 cases, fraud with serious consequences in collaboration and concealment of assets in 3 cases. The investigations relate to the time when he headed the agency that managed EU funds.
Regarding this matter, the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SCOC) has sentenced former Deputy Minister of Health, Klodian Rrjepaj, to 6 years in prison. Businessman Ilir Rrapaj was sentenced to 6 years in prison. Marsela Sejranajt, Saimir Kadiu, Petref Mersini and Arben Gjata were sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison. While Naile Ajazi was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison. All received a reduced sentence after requesting a shortened trial.
Meanwhile, former Minister of Health Ilir Beqaj is being tried separately under ordinary procedure, outside of this part of the file that has already been closed.
