Three years after a report who set in motion SPAK for 20 justice officials dismissed by the vetting process, the Special Prosecutor’s Office requested today penalization for Bashkim Dedje, who was at the head of the constitutional court until 2018.
After he said at the time about the vetting process that it is “similar to crossing a grave lengthwise”, that process for Bashkim Dedja gave way now to the criminal one.
For the 53-year-old who has been working as a lawyer since his dismissal, SPAK prosecution demanded a guilty verdict on the charge of concealing assets and a sentence of “one year in prison”.
While applying for a summary trial, the prosecutor Doloreza Musabelliu requested the suspension of the sentence for the defendant Dedja, ordering him to keep in contact with the probation service for 24 months, on the condition that he does not commit another crime.
Dedja objected to SPAK’s findings according to which the former president of the constitutional court hid an apartment in Kryemedhenj, and that he lied when he declared that he had borrowed 25 thousand euros from family members to buy an apartment in Tirana.
As proof of the hiding of the apartment in Durrës beach, SPAK also brought the testimony of the building’s administrator Dashamir Mjekra, who confessed that he had seen Bashkim Dedje there on vacation and that in one case his bodyguards had asked him to put their vehicle in the garage.
But the former justice official insists that the house belongs to his two brothers, one of which an immigrant in Greece, who helped him with a loan, considered by experts as impossible because the family members were in economic difficulties.
