“The Special Prosecutor’s Office in cooperation with the National Bureau of Investigation has conducted investigations”, reported SPAK.

“At the end of the preliminary investigations, the Special Prosecutor’s Office has decided to apply to the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, to send the case for trial,” continued SPAK.

“At the end of the preliminary investigations of this criminal proceeding, there were gathered evidence according to which the defendant Alma Kaçi is the person who offered irregular benefits to the defendant Safet Gjici. After receiving irregular benefits from her, in the form of sexual favors, Gjici agreed to help her with her dog protection project and to present it further at the meeting of the Kukës Municipal Council”, concluded SPAK. /p.s./

After the court hearing, Kaçi’s lawyer said to journalists that she had asked for a milder measure because Kaçi is the mother of a 12-year-old child and her mother is sick, and she is also the only one who supports the family.

Investigations into Gjici started a few days ago, after the publication on social networks of a video with erotic content, where the former mayor had intimate relations with citizen Alma Kaçi.

After the sexual act, they discuss in the office a project that would be financed by the municipality for the isolation of stray dogs in Kukës. Immediately, Gjici calls one of his subordinates to the office to deal with the documentation that the citizen Alma Kaçi will submit.

The prosecutor’s office carried out a series of verifications on the case, concluding the charges of corruption against the two persons in question.

The 51-year-old Safet Gjici is accused of the criminal offense of “passive corruption of high state officials or local elected officials”, and if the charge is confirmed, he can be sentenced to imprisonment from four to twelve years.

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old Alma Kaçi is accused of the criminal offense “Active corruption of high state officials or local elected officials”, and if the charge is confirmed, she can be sentenced to imprisonment from one to five years./r.e/p.s./

In a reaction on social media, Gjici apologized deeply to anyone who, according to him, saw that ugly video material spread today.

“After a difficult election campaign and confrontation with my opponents, after which I emerged victorious, unfortunately I fell into a trap prepared by the same people I faced in the elections. I am very sorry for the incident. For some time now, I have had an intimate relationship with the girl in question, but of course I have no excuse for what happened in the office despite being trapped”, Gjici emphasized.

Gjici said that, “I can no longer be the person who works in that state office, as I have betrayed the trust of those thousands of people who believed and worked with me to make Kukës an increasingly better city”.

“So today, I feel the minimum obligation to resign”, concluded Gjici./k.s/p.s./

He expressed his satisfaction with the work done implying that the renovation will end ahead of schedule.

“Over 1,000 students will learn in modern facilities and conditions that have not even been imagined before. One of the main objectives of the municipality has been creating the conditions for the development of the learning process”, he said.

The new building is near completion and works are on track to finish ahead of schedule. Gjici said that there is no tolerance in regard to quality, as everything will be done with standards.

“Larger premises have been opened, be it the library or other halls. There will be ample facilities for students. We will intervene in the adjustment of the field, the gym. I am satisfied with the progress of the works and hope to finish it within 3-4 months”, said Mayor Gjici. /j.p/p.s./

Mayor of Kukes Safet Gjici and General Director of the Civil Registry Bledar Doracaj called on citizens not to hesitate to renew their identification documents, in order to further avoid a possible influx.

“In the position of mayor and political leader of the region, I am calling on all those whose ID card has expired, to come and apply,” said Gjici.

Of course, the entire office of the Civil Registry and “Allied” is on standby, ‘non stop’, every day, even if there will be an influx, even in conversation with the General Director, we said that the schedule will be postponed until the last person who will apply for a card “, – said further Gjici.

“But, the offices of” Aleat “and the Civil Registry will be ready to serve all citizens even on Saturday “, – said Gjici further.

According to the mayor, the problem is not only for the elections, but with the ID card one receives many services./p.s./
