Tirana, property trial started

03/10/2011 19:50

In the presence of even a U.S embassy representative, the Court of
Tirana started today the trial for the property dispute in Hamallaj, a
suit filed by the heirs of the Toptani family, who claim the ownership
of these 175 hectares of land.

But this land is also pretended by the family and relatives of the killed Judge Skerdilajd Konomi, who has won the case at the Supreme Court on May 2011.

The Konomi family is not part of this trial, since the Toptani family has sued the National Agency of Property Return (NAPR).

However, a few days before this trial, the family of the killed judge addressed public letters to the President, the Prime Minister and several embassies, demanding a fair trial.

Judge Arjan Aliaj did not fulfill the Toptani family request, who insisted to get access to the heritage file of the 275 hectares of land.

The NAPR representative, Erkan Dollani, declared that the file nr. 421, dated 1 November 2010, was seized by the Tirana Prosecution and for this reason the plaintiff could have no access to it.

The Judge heard the pretenses of lawyer Tonin Prendi, representative of the Toptani family, who submitted the evidence that according to him prove that Nazmi Toptani, Bihter Toptani, Alma Struga, Rezart Mullai, Jusuf Hamzaraj etc. are heirs of the 275 hectares of land in four villages of Sukth Municipality, Durres District.

The session was adjourned to December 5th, for hearing the NAPR pretenses.
