Today, the next preliminary hearing for the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who has been in prison custody since February 2025 at the request of SPAK, will be held at the GJKKO. The hearing is expected to start at around 11:00, and this is a continuation of previous hearings in the framework of the evaluation of the file.
The Special Prosecution Office has forwarded the file for trial to the Criminal Court of Kosovo, but there is still no decision from the judge on whether the case will proceed or not.
Veliaj's wife, Ajola Xoxa, as well as 28 other people and companies, part of the file, have also been sent for trial.
SPAK has listed 13 charges against Veliaj, such as passive corruption, money laundering, failure to declare assets, abuse of office, and bringing items into prison.
The majority of the accusations are of passive corruption committed in 9 cases, in relation to several companies that SPAK says received irregular benefits in the form of monetary sums and real estate, which in turn received construction permits and benefited from public funds from the Municipality of Tirana.
His wife, Ajola Xoxa, is also accused by SPAK of passive corruption in 9 cases related to commercial entities and non-profit organizations, the same as Erion Veliaj.
Xoxa is also accused of money laundering, undeclared assets and concealment of income. The businessmen are accused of active corruption of high-ranking state officials or local elected officials, concealment of income and money laundering.
Former MP Klotilda Bushka is accused of actions that hinder the discovery of the truth.
