The Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime postponed to January 20, at 1:30 p.m., the hearing on the basis of the Tirana incinerator case.
A2 CNN learns that today's hearing was postponed due to the failure to notify one of the defendants who lives abroad.

For the incinerator of Tirana, former socialist deputy Alqi Blako, at the same time general secretary of the Ministry of Environment, has separated himself, this is because Blako is being investigated for another charge, that of corruption.

In the same decision, the Appeal overturned the acquittal obtained in the Special Court for Alqi Bllakon, accusing him of "abuse of duty" and sentenced him to 2 years and 8 months in prison.
