Sali Berisha and his son-in-law will continue to remain under "house arrest". The Supreme Court rejected the appeals made by the former prime minister and his son-in-law, as well as the appeal of the Special Prosecutor's Office, which demanded the return of Jamarbër Malltez to prison.
Sali Berisha directed you to the Supreme Court with the request: " Determining the loss of the power of coercive measures "Compulsion to appear before the judicial police" and "Prohibition of exiting the country", provided by articles 233 and 234 of K.Pr. Penal, assigned to the deputy of the Assembly of Albania Prof. Dr. Sali Berisha, the Leader of the Opposition ".
While Malltezi with the request: " Determining the loss of the power of the coercive measure "Arrest in prison", determined according to decision no. 112, dt. 20.10.2023, of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, to Prof. Dr. Jamarber Malltezi ".
So the lawyers of both claim that the decision announced for the initial security measures against them has exceeded the deadlines and as a result the measures have been undone. So Berisha has complained about the first security measure against him, that of the obligation to appear. But this was a maneuver, since if this measure fell, the second one would automatically fall as well, the "house arrest". But the Supreme Court rejected the appeal without changing anything.
In the meantime, it is interesting that the Supreme Court has been generous with Malltez regarding SPAK's request that he be returned to the cell. As in the first two cases, the Supreme Court did not accept the appeal and Berisha's son-in-law will continue to be investigated under "house arrest".
Sali Berisha and Malltezi have been charged for abuses with the privatization of properties in the former "Partizani" complex. The prosecution states that the former prime minister has committed the criminal offense of "Passive corruption of high state officials or local elected officials provided by article 260 and 25 of the Criminal Code."
While Malltezi is suspected of having committed the criminal offense of "Passive corruption of high state officials or local elected officials".
" In his capacity as Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania, concrete and active actions were taken, in the adoption of laws or by-laws, with the aim of adapting them according to the needs that were presented to the five well-known owner families, where the direct winner, among others, turned out to be the husband of his daughter, citizen JM On the part of citizen SB, in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania, active actions were carried out to carry out administrative controls, with the aim of exerting pressure and giving concrete orders, for the conclusion of the privatization procedures, in favor of, among others, the citizen JM, the husband of his daughter ", says SPAK for Berisha.
As for Malltezi, the prosecution declares in the file that: " The privatization of sports grounds and facilities was done with the sole purpose of capturing them, changing the destination and using them for material benefits by Malltezi;
The changes made in relation to the destination of the areas from sports to residential, which has led to constructions, from which Malltezi has benefited directly".
