Sentenced to 1 year in prison, Edison Memolla seeks freedom in the Supreme

The former mayor of Rrogozhina, Edison Memolla, sentenced to 1 year in prison for electoral corruption, has appealed to the Supreme Court, requesting the annulment of the decision issued by the Special Appeal.

It is learned that Genti Shala has been designated as the rapporteur for Memolla's appeal.

The investigation against Memolla began after the media published an audio recording, where, according to SPAK, he was heard intervening with an OSHEE employee to prevent a debtor subscriber from cutting off his electricity, in order to secure her vote in the local by-elections of March 6, 2022.

According to the data, this influence of Memolla was aimed at securing votes in his favor for the 2022 local by-elections.

It was later discovered that Memolla also discussed employment with electrician Xhamani in the Rrogozhina Municipality in exchange for votes. The Special Appeal also sentenced Blerim Xhamani and Ndriçim Tafshafa to 1 year in prison.

While Isuf Tosku was sentenced to 8 months in prison, which was converted into 1 year and 4 months of probation. Edison Memolla is currently in isolation near the Rrogozhina prison, while this municipality is being run by a commander.
