Requested change of prison sentence, Appeal hearing for Veliaj today!
Erion Veliaj

Today at 11:00 AM, the Special Appeal will review Erion Veliaj's request for a change in security measures.

The case has been assigned to Judge Nertina Kosova.

The Mayor of Tirana has appealed the February 1 decision of Etleva Deda to continue her detention in prison.

He has requested a more lenient measure, offering financial guarantees or any other measure besides the one in force.

The Special Appeal will assess whether the legal conditions and criteria exist for Veliaj to leave the cell.

His request comes after the decision to move the case to trial, which according to the defense has no chance of destroying the evidence.

The mayor has claimed in all hearings that he has been denied the right to effective protection, as he has not yet been familiarized with the investigative file. 

He has rejected the lawyer primarily appointed by the court and has opposed any form of defense provided by her, arguing that she has no real knowledge of the criminal file and that such representation is in complete contradiction with his interests and defense strategy and does not represent his will.

Veliaj has been in prison custody since February 10, 2025, while SPAK sent the request to transfer the file to trial only 5 months ago. SPAK has listed 13 charges against Veliaj, such as passive corruption, money laundering, failure to declare assets, abuse of office and bringing items into prison.

The majority of the accusations are of passive corruption committed in 9 cases, in relation to several companies that SPAK says received irregular benefits in the form of monetary sums and real estate, which in turn received construction permits and benefited from public funds from the Municipality of Tirana.

His wife, Ajola Xoxa, is also accused by SPAK of passive corruption in 9 cases related to commercial entities and non-profit organizations, the same as Erion Veliaj.

Xoxa is also accused of money laundering, failure to declare assets, and concealment of income.
