The request of former Health Minister Ilir Beqaj to ease the security measure of “prison detention” was rejected this Thursday by the Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime. The judging panel decided to uphold the previous decision of the First Instance Court.

The former minister had filed an appeal seeking to replace the “prison detention” measure with “house arrest.” As an alternative, he proposed a property guarantee of 2 million lekë or any other amount the court deemed appropriate.

The single judge of the case, Miliana Muça, after reviewing the appeal, announced “The upholding of decision no. 362, dated 25.05.2026, of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime.”

Consequently, Ilir Beqaj will remain under the security measure of “prison detention,” as previously determined.
