Disappearance of Jan Prenga, Appeal confirms life imprisonment for Altin
Jan Prenga

The Special Court of Appeal has confirmed the life imprisonment sentence given by the First Instance of the Criminal Court of Kosovo for the gardener of Altin Hajri's "Golden" complex in Shijak, Festim Bexhdili, found guilty of the kidnapping of Jan Prenga on January 17, 2020 in Kamëz.

The decision on the Appeal was made by a panel of judges composed of judges Engert Pëllumbi (presiding), Igerta Hysi (member) and Dhimitër Lara (member).

Gardener Festim Bexhdili was the only defendant in the first case who was sentenced by the first instance and the Court of Appeal to life imprisonment for the kidnapping of Jan Prenga, but the Supreme Court returned the case to the Court of Appeal.

In the court session held on July 11 at the Appeal Court, SPAK judges held different positions regarding the granting of the claim for Bexhdil. Prosecutor Kaçkini requested that the life sentence remain in effect, while the other prosecutor, Behar Dibra, requested a sentence of 20 years in prison.

Kaçkini insisted on her position with the argument that Bizhdili was part of the structured criminal group and was acquainted with the other persons accused of the incident, which she said was also confirmed by communications on the encrypted "Sky Ecc" application.

While prosecutor Dibra said that he was found in that situation because he is an employee of the complex and was ordered to hide the body.

Festim Bexhdili was initially sentenced to life imprisonment by the GJKKO and the Appeals Court, but the decision was later overturned by the High Court, returning it for retrial to the GJKKO Appeals Court (which had previously confirmed it).

SPAK suspects that Bexhdil knows where Jan Prenga's body was hidden or disposed of, but he has denied such a thing.

Jan Prenga was kidnapped on January 17, 2020 in Kamëz. After the kidnapping, he was taken to the "Golden" complex in Shijak, owned by Altin Hajri.

According to security camera footage, Jan Prenga is suspected of being raped to death and the body is suspected to have been disposed of in the village of Pjezë, very close to the complex, while the body has not yet been found.

The kidnapping came after Jan Prenga's brother stole a container of drugs in the UK.

According to SPAK, the order for the kidnapping of Jan Prenga was given by Dritan (Gramoz) Rexhepi and his co-defendant Gentian Funiqi (Doda), the organization was done by the defendants Martin Bleta and Korado Keshteja, while the execution of the kidnapping was done by the defendants Artan Doçaj, Aldo Majnishta, Geraldo Martini and another unidentified person.

The order to kidnap Jan Prenga was given while Rexhepi was imprisoned in Ecuador, in Latin America, and was intended to coerce Prenga's brother, who had stolen a quantity of cocaine trafficked from Ecuador to England.

The Prenga family also negotiated with the kidnappers and part of the cocaine was handed over, but in the meantime, Jan Prenga had lost his life.

During the sessions at the Criminal Court, Dritan (Gramoz) Rexhepi) denied involvement in the kidnapping of Jan Prenga, while the other organizer, Altin Hajri, the owner of the "Golden" complex where the crime occurred, is still at large.
