The Special Court has found the mayor of Rrogozhina, Edison Memolla, guilty of the charge of “election corruption”.
Memolla has been sentenced by the GJKKO to 1 year of “prison arrest”.
The court also gave an additional sentence for Edison Memolla to not exercise public functions for 5 years.
The investigation into the mayor began after the media published an audio recording in which Edison Memolla, at the time a candidate for Mayor of Rrogozhina, is heard influencing an electrician not to cut off the electricity to a debtor subscriber.
For the Special Prosecution, all this was done with the aim of getting citizens to vote in his favor in the local by-elections on March 6, 2022. SPAK says that the investigation also confirmed that Memolla promised jobs in the Rrogozhina Municipality.
