Requested release from cell/ GJKKO appeal decides for Jurgis Çyrbe
The appeal of the GJKKO has left former SP MP Jurgis Ccyrbja in prison, rejecting the latter's request to lift the security measure.
Against Çyrbja, SPAK filed charges of "active electoral corruption", "supporting the perpetrator of the crime" and "trading state secrets".
The investigations against former SP MP and citizens Ahmet Masha and Altin Hajri were conducted by SPAK prosecutor Adnan Xholi.
The investigations into Çyrbja revealed deep connections and coexistence between organized crime and politics, as well as their influence on the electoral process, distorting the free vote and the country's democratic system.
According to the investigation, in exchange for votes and support, Çyrba used his position as an MP to obtain secret information from the police, which he made available to members of criminal groups.
Investigations have revealed that in eight different episodes during the period May 2020 - March 2021, the former MP was made aware of data from the "TIMS" system on a wanted person, as well as secret information from the General Directorate of the State Police.
Tritoli on the reports on Gjadri/ The course of the investigation into the attack on Ranucci changes
An explosion near the apartment of journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, a name known from television investigations and an investigation trail that crosses the Adriatic to Miami. According to La Capitale News, the October 16 assassination attempt on the host of the "Report" show is taking on new developments, while investigators are deepening what they call the "Albanian trail."
The focus is on Artur Shehu, 58, an entrepreneur originally from Albania, who has been mentioned in several journalistic investigations as a figure with suspected links to organized crime in his country. He currently lives in the United States, in Miami, Florida.
According to investigative sources cited by Italian media, the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate (DIA) has also received information from Vlora about the 58-year-old's possible involvement in the explosion that occurred in Rome.
The Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office in Rome, with prosecutors Ilaria Calò and Carlo Villani, in collaboration with the carabinieri of the relevant investigative units, is working to reconstruct the dynamics of the event. The investigation aims to identify the material perpetrators of the placement of the explosive and any possible responsibility at the level of the orderers.
Brussels message to politics/Stop attacks on SPAK, we are monitoring the lifting of immunity
In an interview with Deutsche Welle, the EU ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, praises Albania's progress towards European integration, but emphasizes that the country is at a crucial stage.
According to him, the opening of the negotiation chapters was an important achievement, but now the focus is on the "Fundamentals": the rule of law, the fight against corruption, fundamental rights and the functioning of justice. The European Commission will assess whether the reforms are real and implementable, before starting to close the chapters.
The Ambassador also focuses on EU funds, calling for transparency and rigorous management, especially for the IPARD program, where the Albanian government is expected to guarantee full financial control before resuming support.
Regarding justice, Gonzato positively assesses the work of SPAK, especially in the fight against organized crime and high-level corruption. He expresses concern about political attacks on the judiciary and emphasizes that reforms should strengthen, not weaken, the independence of the judiciary.
The message to the political class is clear: cooperation, constructive dialogue, and serious commitment to the fight against corruption are key to EU membership.
