The Assembly of Albania decided on April 11 to reject the request of the Constitutional Court to bring the interpretation of its mandate to this court. The majority kept the decision for the deputy in the drawer for more than a year.
Xhaçka held the position of Foreign Minister at the time when the Committee of Strategic Decisions headed by Prime Minister Edi Rama approved the status of "strategic investor" for her husband, Artan Gaçi, who is building a hotel in Dhërmi. Then, through a government decision, the hotel was granted the right of long-term use of the sea shores.
Xhaçka insists that he is not in a conflict of interest and that he had not benefited from a centimeter of state land or any other type of public benefit. According to her, the only benefit from this status was related to the company that in the future will manage the activity for the beach area in front of the hotel.
In January 2023, the Constitutional Court, responding to a lawsuit by DP deputies, rejected as unconstitutional the decision of the Assembly not to send the case to this court and asked the Assembly to decide otherwise.
The Constitution provides that no member of parliament can benefit from public goods and that he loses his mandate the moment the Constitutional Court comes to this conclusion. After the Parliament's decision, the opposition again brought Xhaçka's mandate to the Constitutional Court.
