SPAK has closed the investigation and sent the file for trial a year after Erion Veliaj's arrest. The Mayor, along with his wife, Ajola Xoxa, and 28 other people involved, will now face court.

In the Top Story studio, analyst Arion Sulo said that the detention period has been exceeded, the prosecutor has exceeded his powers and Veliaj has still not been familiarized with the file. The mayor is without a lawyer, said the analyst, while according to him, "Veliaj has learned his lesson from Rama."

"There is a change in the Prime Minister's rhetoric towards Veliaj, wanting to save Ms. Balluku and conduct the investigation in a free state, contrary to what SPAK says. The court has exceeded the process, the time of detention and the deadlines. Veliaj has not been familiarized with the file, this is scandalous. Our prisons do not provide a computer to view the 60 thousand pages of the file. He is without a lawyer and the audios that have recently emerged from Sunday have highlighted a behavior of prosecutors in excess of their powers. So he has not been familiarized with the file. A full year has passed since the arrest, the case went to trial today. There are defendants whose deadlines have expired, they are being held only because Veliaj is being held. There are problems with SPAK and the GJKKO here. Third, yes, Veliaj has learned his lesson from Rama. The case went to trial today, but he continues to be in detention", the analyst said in Top Story.
