According to SPAK, he illegally benefited from a construction business worth 5.4 million euros thanks to government decisions taken by his father-in-law, the prime minister at the time.
Former Minister of Economy during Sali Berisha's government, Genc Ruli, arrived this Monday at the GJKKO to testify in the "Partizani" case trial.
The previous session was postponed due to the absence of defendant Fatmir Bektashi and his lawyer, Sokol Hazizaj.
This also failed to obtain the testimony of the former Minister of Culture and Sports, Ylli Pango and Violeta Shqevi, who were present in the room.
The court decided to notify several witnesses requested by SPAK for today's session, including former Minister of Economy, Genci Ruli, as well as former president of "Partizan", Paro Laçi.
So, today, the following are expected to testify:
1-Ylli Pango, former Minister of Sports;
2-Violeta Shqevi, former director at the Ministry of Sports;
3-Paro Laci, former president of Partizan;
4-Genc Ruli, former Minister of Energy;
5-Tetis Lubonja, head of the legal sector of the Property Restitution and Compensation Agency;
6-Altin Ceni, specialist in the legal sector of the Property Restitution and Compensation Agency.
The hearing is expected to focus on the testimonies of persons who had institutional roles during the period when the procedures related to the issue of the "Partizani" sports complex were undertaken. The process continues within the framework of the judicial review of one of the most debated files in recent years in the country.
In this case, the key defendants are the Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha and his son-in-law Jamarbër Malltezi.
Earlier, two former defense ministers, Fatmir Mediu and Gazmend Oketa, testified at SPAK, while former Brigadier General Vladimir Qirjazi, the only one who opposed the privatization procedure and suffered by being expelled from the Armed Forces, also testified.
Qirjazi told the media that the request to sign a procedure that he considered illegal had been made by his superior at the time, Minister Gazmend Oketa. He was a valuable witness, who was questioned by SPAK as a person informed about the facts about a month ago.
