Kasem Mahmutaj
Democratic Party (PD)
Profile
Democratic Party MP. In 2022 the Special Anti-Corruption Court (GJKKO), at SPAK's request, ordered confiscation of properties registered to him and to relatives, on the ground that the assets were not from legal financial sources. Reports differ on the number of properties (22 at first seizure, 25 in a later appeal report). The appeal court reportedly upheld the confiscation. The case centres on a brother's asset-justification proceeding; the brother is a private individual and is not named here.

Asset-concealment enforcement has reached both main parties' MPs
PD's complaint against PS MP Ervin Bushati led to a SPAK investigation, and a court confiscated properties linked to PD MP Kasem Mahmutaj's family. If both are accurate, asset enforcement is not one-sided by party, though the timing and outcomes differ.
Evidence for
- SPAK confirmed an investigation of Bushati for non-declaration of assets (2020).
- Court confiscation of Mahmutaj-family properties on a non-legal-source basis (2022).
Evidence against
- Bushati's case has no charges reported in five years, while Mahmutaj's confiscation was a court order in a civil-type proceeding.
- The Mahmutaj case is about a brother's proceeding; the deputy himself is not charged.
- Journalist Sokol Bregu argued the Mahmutaj timing was political, which would weaken the enforcement-symmetry reading.
