The Special Anti-Corruption Appeal upheld the first instance decision for the former mayor of Lushnje, Fatos Tushe, sentencing the latter with a final decision to 1 year in prison, a measure that was suspended to two years of probation for the charge of concealing assets.

The appeal also upheld the decision to confiscate an apartment in Vlora, property that had not been declared by Tushe.

The prosecution proved that the former mayor of Lushnja had not declared an apartment with an area of ​​82.33m2 on the Lungomare of Vlora, nor the expenses for the purchase of this property, nor the works nor the furnishing of the building.

In the first instance of the court, the case was reviewed in the form of a summary trial, where Judge Flojera Davidhi sentenced Tushe to 1.6 years in prison, a sentence that was reduced to 1 year.

The judge in the case decided to suspend the sentence, placing him on two years of probation, on the condition that he not commit any criminal offense.

Fatos Tushe was arrested in 2021 by order of SPAK on charges of corruption and sentenced to 2 years and 4 months in prison. He completed his sentence and was released from prison in January 2023.
