The Special Prosecution Office, SPAK, has conducted searches in another apartment in Tirana, as part of the investigation launched against Mayor Erion Veliaj and his family members.
With a decision from the Special Court in hand, agents of the National Bureau of Investigation searched apartment number 11/4 in one of the towers in the former block area of the capital, one floor above "Partnerts Law", the legal consultancy company managed by Veliaj's wife, Ajola Xoxa.
The inspection of the apartment was requested by prosecutors Altin Dumani and Olsi Dado, following suspicions that it is owned by the mayor's family members.
The court decision was executed on Wednesday morning by BKH agents, who administered documents or valuable electronic devices for the investigation in this environment.
The court allowed the search to be conducted for the purpose of discovering, administering, and seizing evidence related to the criminal offense, including documentary and electronic evidence, electronic devices, cell phones, laptops, or personal computers.
The investigation involving Mayor Veliaj and his family members has been registered for the criminal offenses of "passive and active corruption of high-ranking state officials and local elected officials", "money laundering" and "concealment and failure to declare assets". (A2 Televizion)
