Sarande: KLSH complaint over unfinished paid works (Florjana Koka) and IKMT permit complaint
Status: Reopened by court order (reported, date unknown). No verdict found.
Summary
KLSH filed a criminal complaint on 28 April 2017 (letter 1236/17) against Sarande mayor Florjana Koka and six staff, for payments and investments not carried out, with economic damage of 129.4 million lekë (Balkanweb body text; the headline reads '1294 milione', which conflicts with the body). The audit periods were 1 July 2015 to 31 Dec 2016 for the municipality. A Shqiptarja article says a Sarande court ordered prosecutors to reopen the matter after KLSH's appeal against the prosecution's closure. IKMT also filed a complaint against Koka and former mayor Edmond Gjoka over construction permits (abuse of office and falsifying documents). No verdict was found.

KLSH's term: economic damage (dem ekonomik). The same article cites 481 million lekë budget impact, treated separately.
