The Special Court (GJKKO) has delivered a significant verdict in the 'Revanshi' criminal case, finding Durim Bami and six other defendants guilty. Bami received a sentence of 10 years and 8 months in prison, with the prosecution having sought over 98 years in total for the group involved in planned criminal activities in 2020. This marks a notable development in the country's efforts against organized crime.
Meanwhile, anti-government sentiment continues to manifest in large-scale protests, with citizens demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama. These demonstrations reflect ongoing public discontent and persistent calls for political change. The longevity of these protests highlights deep-seated grievances among the populace.
The Special Prosecution Office (SPAK) is also advancing its corruption probe involving Belinda Balluku, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy. New information has surfaced regarding a second alleged hidden property linked to a tender, fueling public debate, with analyst Arlind Qori discussing why Balluku has not been arrested despite the ongoing investigation.
