Blerim Xhamani was also found guilty of the criminal offense of forgery of documents, committed in collaboration. Ndriçim Tafxhafa was convicted only of active corruption in the elections.
In the same case, Isuf Tosku was sentenced to 8 months in prison for forging documents, but his sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation for 1 year and 4 months.
The investigation against the mayor of Rrogozhina began after the publication of an audio interception, where according to SPAK, Memolla, at the time a candidate for mayor, intervened with an OSHEE employee to prevent a debtor subscriber from cutting off the electricity supply, in order to gain her vote in the local by-elections of March 6, 2022. In that election process, Memolla was running under the Socialist Party banner.
SPAK completed the investigations into this matter on November 2, 2023. With the execution of the Appeals decision, the case against the mayor of Rrogozhina enters the phase of serving the sentence and leads to his removal from public office.
