The Special Court has set May 26 at 10:00 to hold the first hearing against Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj and other co-defendants. The new panel against Veliaj and the others, who will be tried in a regular trial, is headed by Elsa Ulliri and members Flora Hajredini and Besmir Stroka.
The mayor of Tirana has been under "prison arrest" since February 10, 2025. 5 months ago, SPAK sent a request for the trial of the case. SPAK has listed 13 charges against him, 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.
