Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure, Belinda Balluku, through her lawyers, has filed a recourse with the High Court, requesting that phone messages not be considered as evidence. More specifically, Balluku's lawyers refer to a decision of the Constitutional Court, according to which the phone cannot be seized without a court decision.
According to Top Channel, in their explanation, the lawyers say that out of respect for the Constitutional Court, any message obtained from the phone should be considered useless evidence.
In the summer of 2025, the Constitutional Court placed limits on SPAK's ability to seize phones, especially intercepting mail communications (messages).
The second point that Balluku's lawyers stop at is the reasoning that there is no risk of Belinda Balluku escaping from Albania and therefore the ban on leaving the country should be lifted. And as evidence, they cite the three trips after October 2025 when Belinda was summoned for questioning by SPAK and where she was charged, reports TCH.
But while waiting for a decision from the Constitutional Court and the Mandates Council, SPAK has carried out numerous seizures and searches, including of businessmen mentioned in the tenders.
It is now up to the Constitutional Court to issue a decision on whether or not a court can suspend a member of the government cabinet from office, while the Council of Mandates and Immunities must express its opinion on SPAK's request seeking authorization for a stricter security measure against the Deputy Prime Minister.
