The mayor of Rrogozhina, Edison Memolla, will surrender to the police tomorrow, after being sentenced to 1 year in prison. Memolla will go to prison immediately after delegating his duties.
Memolla was convicted of electoral corruption after SPAK revealed a conversation he had while running in the March 2022 local by-elections with OSHEE electrician Blerim Xhamani.
The Special Court of Appeals has today upheld the criminal verdict against Memolla. The first instance of the GJKKO had sentenced Memolla to 1 year in prison, a decision he challenged on appeal. The Court of Appeals assessed that the evidence and arguments presented justify the confirmation of the sentence.
The investigation against him began after the administration of an audio recording, where, according to the Special Prosecution Office, he is heard, at the time when he was a candidate for mayor, exerting influence over an OSHEE employee. The action had to do with the non-disconnection of electricity to a subscriber with unpaid obligations.
The prosecution argued during the trial that the intervention aimed to secure the citizen's electoral support in the local by-elections of March 6, 2022.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court also banned Memolla from holding public office for a period of 5 years, a measure that will take effect after the final decision of the Appeals Court.
