"The lights are on, except for Toma"/ The trial for Mayor Kristian
Tom Doshi/ Kristian Shkreli

The Special Court continues to review the criminal case against the mayor of Vau i Dejës, Kristian Shkreli , who faces charges of electoral corruption.

The Special Prosecution Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) is presenting evidence and wiretap materials, with the aim of proving claims that he influenced the electoral process in favor of Tom Doshi 's PSD .

During the session, testimonies were heard from several residents of the Stajka area, who have had contacts with the mayor regarding infrastructure issues, mainly regarding the supply of electricity and the village road.

Alfred Martin's testimony

Alfred Martini told the court that he and several other residents had complained to Shkreli about the lack of electricity in the village. According to him, the meeting took place at the mayor's premises in Kryebushat.

"We all went as residents of the village of Stajkë, complained to Kristian Shkreli that we had no electricity. We met at his bar in Kryebushat. We called him. There were 5 of us and we wanted to meet him, with our uncles and their friends. At that meeting, he promised us lights and a road. We went to Shkreli, because he was the mayor."

He also emphasized: " I have not received any guidance from Kristian Shkreli regarding the May 11 elections ."

In the courtroom, prosecutor Dritan Preçi read a wiretap dated April 18, 2025, where, according to the investigative file, Shkreli addresses the witness with the words: " You have the lights on" and then adds "except for Toma ". The witness responds: " Don't cut his head off ."

Martini interpreted this communication as a friendly conversation, explaining: " This conversation was a sign of respect. With "Tom" in that conversation we referred to Tom Doshi ."

Another wiretap dated May 6, 2025 was read by the prosecution, where Martini is heard saying: " Kristian called us. Toma is coming tomorrow, to Angelo's in Stajka, at 6 pm. He called all of us as residents. It's good to be there, because we need him for the road and for things. Tell Jaku to come too. Those we have are there, it's good to be there tomorrow ."


Martini stated that it was about an electoral meeting in the area: " We were there for a rally in Stajka. We were there as a sign of respect ."

He added that the communications with the mayor were related to concerns about electricity: "I did not communicate, but my brother communicated that they complained about the lights. So did my uncle and several other people. The problem has been resolved. The residents complained to the mayor and then the lights were fixed. I used my brother's phone, I spoke to Kristian. I asked my brother to go and fix the lights, because it was a shame, the lights were like candles, then the lights came on just fine."

Asked by the defense if he had been asked to vote for any political entity, Martini replied: "No, he didn't ask me for anything, we complained once, we know it's the mayor's honor."

The testimony of Colonel Kolec

Col. Koleci also spoke about the infrastructural situation in the area, emphasizing that for years the village had suffered from a lack of energy.

"We have had 22 years without electricity, we have been washed with water. We complained to this gentleman and he solved our problem. Christian brought us electricity, he brought us a driveway."

He mentioned that on one occasion he was invited to a meeting where Tom Doshi was present, but denied any guidance on the vote: " At that meeting I remember they told me to go to a meeting with Tom Doshi. I did not talk to the chairman or anyone in the world. I wanted to come to you alone, we have a lot of trust in SPAK. Kristian is a hardworking guy. I voted on May 11, I was not guided to vote by anyone ."

Filip Bardheli's testimony

Another resident of Stajka, Filip Bardheli, stated that the improvement in energy supply had occurred before the last elections.

"I live in the village of Stajkë. We know that they have fixed our lights. It was before the elections. It was the last elections. We went, we complained to the mayor about the lights and the road. That for 20 years the poles have been made of wood. We went, all the people who were in a neighborhood, we asked for lights and roads. He didn't promise us, but he said he would try. Kristiani didn't direct me to vote anywhere."

The trial against Kristian Shkreli continues, while the court is expected to assess whether the communications and actions included in the file constitute elements of the criminal offense of electoral corruption.
