The Supreme Court has upheld the 2021 Appeals Court decision for Emiljano Shullazi and his group. Judges Ilir Panda, Genti Shala and Enton Dhimitri in the consulting room have upheld the sentence of 43 years in prison in total for the 4 defendants.
This is the case where they were found guilty of extortion and organized criminal group.
In the final decision of 5 years ago, Emiljano Shullazi was sentenced to 14 years in prison, Endrit Qyqja and Endrit Zela to 10 years in prison each, and Blerim Shullazi to 9 years in prison. For Gilmando Dani, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison, the Supreme Court has decided not to accept the appeal since he has died.
Dani, like all the other defendants except Emiljano Shullazi, was released and executed in a mafia assassination in November 2025 at the Rinas roundabout along with his friend, AMP agent Mustafa Sheqeri.
Meanwhile, Emiljano Shullazi is being held in custody for two other SPAK files, the "Nothing is Forgotten" operation related to the 2005 murders of Vajdin Lame and Klodian Saliu, and the "Revanshi" operation, where a 10-year prison sentence with a shortened trial has been requested for him for providing conditions to commit murder and a criminal group.
