Profile
Senior police official who sued Socialist MP Taulant Balla for slander in 2011-2012 over statements Balla made about him. Balla's accusations came a day after Albanian media reported US WikiLeaks cables that reportedly described Kulicaj as having suspicious ties to organised crime and corruption (as reported by Top Channel, 28 Oct 2011). The first-instance fine and the appeal outcome are described in the case record. No finding on the underlying allegations about Kulicaj was found in these sources.
