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 Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime, with a panel composed of judges Daniela Shirka (presiding), Florjan Kalaja (member) and Tereza Merkaj (member), today on 20.02.2026, ruled on criminal case no. 73, act, date 18.02.2026 registration, upon the request of the defendant J.Ç, with the object:
"Termination of the security measure "Arrest in prison", determined by decision no. 126, dated 20.10.2024 of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, verified by decision no. 129, dated 22.10.2024 of this court, due to the termination of the sentence imposed by decision no. 68, dated 03.11.2025 of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime", as follows:
"The rejection of the request of the applicant Jurgis Çyrbja," the official announcement of the GJKKO states.
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.
This data, which included the plans of the Police throughout the territory of the Republic of Albania, including the Durrës District, for the capture of persons wanted for organized crimes, was transmitted by the defendants to the wanted persons, who, due to this assistance, avoided arrest.
At the time Çyrbja committed these criminal offenses, he was a member of parliament for the Socialist Party. He was re-elected as a member of parliament in the 2021–2025 legislature, a position he held until October 9, 2024, when he handed over his mandate a few days before his arrest.
The former SP MP received a 1/3 reduction in his sentence due to the summary trial.
