Profile
Lawyer who represents Sali Berisha in the GJKKO Partizani trial, where he asked the panel to declare SPAK investigative acts invalid. Reporting says he has publicly described SPAK and the GJKKO as a dangerous junta and a captured justice system, and has claimed that a former US ambassador pressed SPAK to prosecute Berisha. Search summaries also name him as counsel for Spiro Ksera, who was convicted in absentia in the Tirana court.
Response from Genc Gjokutaj

Evidence: Reporting names Gjokutaj as Berisha's lawyer at the GJKKO; the same lawyer also appears in the Ksera search summary (see conn-gjokutaj-ksera-counsel). No wrongdoing alleged by this link.
Shared counsel: Gjokutaj also reported as Ksera's lawyer (in absentia verdict)
Evidence: Search summary of the Ksera verdict says Ksera was represented by Genc Gjokutaj; the Shqiptarja page was not opened, so this is UNVERIFIED on the page itself.
Timeline
Court
Partizani trial opens at GJKKO with Berisha and co-defendants (date reported inconsistently)
A2 and a search summary give 19 May 2025 as the trial start, with Presiding Judge Elsa Ulliri rejecting the Berisha-Malltezi request to exclude the panel and other defence motions, including Kontakt's request for a shortened trial, being rejected. A Shqiptarja headline gives the trial start as 30 June; the year is not stated in the headline. The two dates are not reconciled in the sources read.
