The former prime minister, Sali Berisha, who is under “house arrest”, has requested permission to leave the house to go to the Parliament.
Through his lawyers, the democratic leader has asked the Court for permission to participate in the parliamentary sessions.
GJKKO imposed the security measure “house arrest” on Sali Berisha on December 30, and the former prime minister was not present at the first parliamentary session after the end of the year holidays, which took place on Monday (January 15).
According to the court decision, Berisha is ordered not to leave his apartment and not to communicate with other people, except those “who live together in the same apartment with him”.
Berisha is under investigation for the criminal offense of corruption together with his son-in-law, Jamarbër Malltezi, who is accused by SPAK of having benefited from an income of 5.4 million euros from a construction business in an irregular manner thanks to the government decisions made by his father-in-law.
Both Berisha and Malltezi have opposed the accusations and described the investigation as orchestrated by Prime Minister Edi Rama. Also, Berisha and his supporters have described this measure as an attempt to annihilate the opposition.
