Kasowitz Reports that Court-Ordered Disclosure in Albania Raises Serious Questions about Basis for SPAK's Case Against Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj

Following a court order requiring Albania's Special Prosecution Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) to finally provide Mayor Erion Veliaj access to the evidence against him, recently disclosed materials contain troubling evidence which raises profound questions about the foundation of the entire prosecution.

According to the disclosed materials, SPAK's investigation appears to have been initiated based on anonymous allegations attributed to two individuals identified as "Nesti Agoni" and "Nasta Pellumbi," neither of whom appear on Albania's National Registry of Citizens.  

The case has drawn increasing international attention, with observers raising broader concerns about due process and the rule of law in Albania.

The Kasowitz team representing Mayor Veliaj includes partners Daniel J. Fetterman and Brian S. Choi in New York, and senior counsel Clarine Nardi Riddle and special counsel David Miller in Washington, D.C.
