Here's how many years in prison Safet Gjici and Alma Kaçi risk and what they are accused of

The former mayor of Kukes Municipality, Safet Gjici, was arrested this Saturday afternoon by SPAK, after the publication of a video-scandal with a girl in his office, while he is accused of the criminal offense of "passive corruption".

Intimate video

An intimate video published a few days ago showing Safet Gjici as the mayor of Kukës and Alma Kaçi as a representative of a private company dealing with the management of stray dogs has become the object of SPAK's investigation.

Kaçi appeared in the video offering oral sex to Safet Gjiçi in the office of the Kuka municipality institution.

Immediately after the publication of the initial video, Gjiçi, after announcing that he had resigned, explained that he had been in an intimate relationship with the girl for a long time.

But the release of the 13-minute-long raw footage blew Gjic's statement. Immediately after offering oral sex to the mayor, Alma Kaçi asked the latter to give her company the tender for the management of stray dogs in the northeastern city of the country.

In order to fulfill the request of the 40-year-old mayor Safet Gjici, as it seemed and from the published footage, he called the vice-president Granit Gjana to help him with the documentation so that Alma Kaçi was selected as the winner.

According to SPAK, it is precisely this video that raises reasonable doubts that the two protagonists in the intimate video, Gjici and Kaçi, have consumed elements of the criminal offenses provided for in the legislation in force.

Based on the collected evidence, SPAK has asked the Special Court to impose the security measure of prison arrest for Safet Gjicin and house arrest for Alma Kaçin. The arrest warrants that were executed today where Gjici was arrested in Tirana and Kaçi in Shkodër.
