Party not recorded
Profile
Bashkim Dedja is reported as a former chairman of the Constitutional Court. In April 2025, GJKKO accepted a SPAK request and seized a 60 m2 apartment that prosecutors said he held. Prosecutors allege he failed to justify the origin of the apartment with legal income and concealed or misdeclared it, after more than two years of investigation. Reports summarised from Gazeta Tema say GJKKO sentenced him to six months in prison, converted to one year of probation, and ordered permanent confiscation of the apartment. A Special Appeal Court decision dated 27 January 2026 is reported to have left that ruling in force. A BalkanWeb reference says the Supreme Court overturned a decision against him, with no date given; this is unconfirmed.
