Police-commissariat renovation tenders, Interior Ministry (Plarent Ndreca and 15 co-defendants)
Status: On trial at GJKKO (first instance); no verdict found in the sources read
Summary
SPAK charged former Socialist MP and former Interior Ministry secretary general Plarent Ndreca with breaching equality among bidders in tenders for renovating police commissariats. Reporting says the probe began with a State Audit Institution complaint, and that of four stations only two were completed after funding was changed. Prosecutors allege the award favoured the company of Gjon Radovani, which Radovani disputes. SPAK sent the file to the GJKKO on 25 November 2024. Reports list 16 defendants, including 15 officials of the evaluation commission. The file is reported to proceed as an ordinary trial for Ndreca and a shortened procedure for the others.
