Jamarbër Malltezi, the husband of the daughter of the former prime minister Sali Berisha, was arrested on Saturday evening by the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime SPAK, on charges of corruption and money laundering after several years of investigations related to the privatization of the former Partizani Sports Complex .
Mr. Malltezi was requested to be arrested in prison, a measure which was implemented in the evening at the international airport of Rinas.
For Mr. Berisha, the Special Court against Crime and Corruption decided as a security measure the obligation to appear before the judicial police as well as a ban on traveling abroad.
In a press conference, former prime minister Berisha called the accusations against him baseless and politically motivated.
"I will stand with all my strength. I am not afraid of arrest or anything, because the charges have been raised without any basis and are real political attacks of Edi Rama. They come exactly at the moment that the opposition has started the movement without return against the dictatorship, which Edi Rama is raising with the theft of votes and public assets", said Mr. Berisha.
He said that the movement of the deputy inside or outside the country cannot be violated without the approval of the Assembly, however, he accepted the challenge, which motivates him and his followers even more, who have started a new political movement.
Mr. Berisha brought a series of details on the issue of the privatization of the Partizani complex, with which, according to him, the government and high officials have dealt with earlier.
Today, Fatmir Bektashi, one of the builders of the buildings on the grounds of the former Partizani sports complex, was placed under security measures.
The legality of the privatization of the Partizani Club sports fields, previously a field owned by the Ministry of Defense, has been investigated for several years by SPAK, under suspicions of large-scale corruption by former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, his son-in-law Jamarbër Malltezi and former head of the Ministry of Defense.
The sports complex with 26,000 square meters, which until then had been the property of the army, was replaced within a few years by a complex of buildings, after the privatization procedures carried out by the Berisha government during the two mandates of 2005 and 2009.
Investigations into the privatization through suspected legal violations of the former Partizani sports complex were further prompted by a report submitted to SPAK by the chairman of the SP parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, currently the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and his entire family, including his son-in-law Malltezi, have been determined by the US to be ineligible to visit the United States due to high corruption and violation of democracy./ VOA
