View from the courtroom

The Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime continues this Monday with the examination of the "Partizani" file, with the questioning of witnesses requested by SPAK.

Violeta Shqevi testified before the trial panel, saying that in 2007 she was employed at the Ministry of Culture and Sports, where she also held the position of director of sports. She stated that she also had the role of coordinator of the Sports Strategy 2008-2020.

According to Shqev, the multi-sports club “Partizani” was administered by the Ministry of Defense, while football was treated separately. She explained that the institution where she worked managed the multi-sports club, with the exception of the football team.

Shqevi also touched on the club's assets, stating that "Partizan" had several facilities, including a two-story building and other buildings. However, according to her, the properties were not registered and there was uncertainty regarding their ownership.

"When concerns arose about some residents who had occupied properties, we never had clear information about the owners. The department I headed asked the leaders to take measures to register them," the witness stated.

She also spoke about the 2007 legal changes to the law on sports, emphasizing that they were considered a positive development for the sector.

"Regarding the legal changes to the law on sports in 2007, it was seen as a positive approach. It was seen as important to include third parties and create the possibility for assets to be given through concession," Shqevi said during her testimony.

Prosecution: On 22.10.2007, changes were approved for sports. It was determined that sports facilities could be given through concession and not privatized. Did you have any role?
