The Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime has upheld the First Instance decision in the case against defendant Aleksandër Laho , known as "Rrumi i Shijakut", definitively sentencing him to 2 years in prison for active corruption.

According to the decision of the Court of Appeal, Aleksandër Laho pleaded guilty to the criminal offense of "Active corruption against persons exercising public functions", committed in collaboration.

Initially, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison, but following a summary trial, 1/3 of the sentence was reduced, ending with a final sentence of 2 years in prison.

According to the investigation, Laho gave the State Attorney's official, Irgen Kërçuku, 600 thousand lekë and promised him another 300 thousand lekë, to not appeal a property issue related to the alienation of 45 thousand square meters of public land in Lalzi Bay.

The name of Aleksandër Laho has been mentioned before in the criminal chronicle.

He was injured in the assassination attempt on prosecutor Arjan Ndoja in 2019, while investigations uncovered a video of him communicating with an official from the State Attorney's Office about the corruption case.

Kërcuk was sentenced to 2 years in prison for the same case.
