Profile
Former mayor of Rrogozhine. A PS meeting in the 2023 campaign backed his candidacy (Shqiptarja headline). SPAK charged him with active electoral corruption: in the 2022 by-election he allegedly asked for an electricity worker not to cut power to a debtor in exchange for a vote. The GJKKO convicted him and the appeal court reportedly made the conviction final (search summary: 9 Feb 2026). A separate SPAK money-laundering inquiry, which he called slander, has no outcome in the sources seen.
Response from Edison Memolla
Said he would appeal and that his fight would not end there, citing Strasbourg (Shqiptarja headline). Called the money-laundering inquiry slander and said he would answer to justice.
