Qerim Ismailaj, will continue to be the mayor of Mallakastra. The CEC decided today to extend his mandate, despite the fact that the Prosecution had revealed his sentence of 3 years in prison in 2000 by a Greek court.
“How does this matter? In the case when criminal sentences have been served in Albania, the CEC makes its own assessment by reading the act of the decision. In cases where the decision was taken in other foreign countries, the CEC does not have the opportunity to make the assessment. Therefore, he addresses the Prosecution and this body tells the CEC how much and how much Article 2 stands. So he tells us what criminal offense he has committed and tells us whether or not it is a criminal offense. Not included in the detention conditions. Continues the mandate“, Declared Celibashi.
An appeal against this decision is allowed to the KAS within 3 days. This decision enters into force immediately.
