High Court confirms GJKKO decision, rejects Fatime Kryemadhi’s withdrawal from summary trial

The Criminal Collegium of the High Court announced on Tuesday the ruling on Fatime Kryemadhi’s appeal, dismissing it. She challenged the interim decision of June 15, by which the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (GJKKO) had denied her request to waive the summary trial procedure.

With this ruling, the lower court’s position remains unchanged. This means the judicial case against Kryemadhi will continue under the expedited procedure, as originally set by GJKKO, since her request for modification was deemed unfounded.

According to the prosecution, Fatime Kryemadhi faces inability to document several significant sums of money. These include 98,000 euros, 246,000 dollars, 100,000 euros reported as liquidations from the company “Agi Cons” for loan repayments, and an additional 310,000 euros suspected of having an unjustified origin. The Special Prosecution claims that the two loans taken for the purchase of apartments were covered with cash payments, for which no trace of a lawful financial source exists.
