Berisha is under investigation for the privatization of the former "Partizani" complex. He is accused of passive corruption.
Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha will appear before the court tomorrow for the affair with the "Partizani" Complex. Although he does not know the security measure "obligation to appear", he has asked the Special Court tomorrow at 14:00 to appear in order to familiarize himself with this security measure and be questioned. If he does not appear, he will most likely be escorted by force.
The announcement was made by the court itself, putting an end to the debate of the former prime minister not recognizing the decision.
" The Special Court of the First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, on 24.10.2023, Tuesday, at 2:00 p.m., has scheduled the court hearing of the questioning of the person under investigation Sali Berisha, based on Article 248 point 1 of K.Pr.Penale ", the court announces.
Berisha is under investigation for the privatization of the former "Partizani" complex. He is accused of passive corruption. It is suspected that through his position he favored his son-in-law in the privatization of lands and the construction of a complex of buildings there.
Malltezi was arrested and will appear before the court today at 18:00. Berisha himself was left as a security measure "obligation to appear", but he claims that SPAK and the court have violated the Constitution, since according to him, the Constitution does not allow any limitation of the MP's freedom. On Saturday, 2 police officers went to the PD headquarters to inform him of the decision, but he did not meet them with the argument that he does not know the decision. But it seems that the court is content only with the fact that it is aware. If Berisha refuses to go, he is expected to be forcibly taken away by the police.
