The police have not yet executed the GJKKO Appeal decision for the former chief of operations Oltion Bistri. According to information, Bistri has not been found in his apartment by the police forces. He has been outside Albania for months.

The Special Appeal sentenced the former head of the Operational Unit a day ago to 11 years in prison for the "Metamorphosis" case, which with a shortened trial would amount to 7 years and 4 months in prison, but according to calculations made by SPAK prosecutors, he has 3 years, 10 months and 14 days left in prison to serve. 

A day earlier, the Court of Appeal also found him guilty of the criminal offenses of passive corruption and money laundering, while the first instance in 2025 had convicted him only for the disclosure of secret acts or data.

The decision also reinstated the confiscation of his assets, 3 apartments and 2 shops, as well as 1 million euros in cash.

Oltion Bistri was arrested on July 27, 2023, and remained in custody until November 18 of last year, when the Special Court for Corruption and Organized Crime ordered his immediate release, as the time of his sentence was found to have been served in detention, where he spent approximately 2 years and 4 months, which is calculated as 3 years and 6 months. 

The "Metamorphosis" file brought to light the connections of casino businessman Pëllumb Gjoka with police leaders and members of the Bajra group in Shkodër. The former head of the Operational Unit, Oltion Bistri, warned Gjoka about police checks and assured him that his casino in Tirana would remain untouched.

The file also revealed the involvement of the former head of the Kukes Prosecution Office, Xhevahir Lita, who was convicted in the first instance for leaking secret data and two episodes of passive corruption.
