While the Council for Regulation, Mandates and Immunity is expected to meet on February 23 to review SPAK's request for permission to arrest Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, special prosecutors have advanced in their actions, as they are conducting investigations into the assets of the minister and persons associated with her.
Journalist Klodiana Lala reports that sources at SPAK indicated that information has been requested from various institutions, such as the Cadastre, ILDKPI or second-tier banks, regarding the assets of the government's number two, as well as third parties, about whom suspicions have been raised.
Prosecutors have not yet launched letters of demand abroad, but as they are tracing every possible bank transfer, the need to request information in various countries of the European Union may arise in the coming weeks.
At the same time, all data obtained through the monitoring of the mobile phones of Belinda Balluku's trusted people or various businesswomen is being evaluated, actions that were carried out during the last weeks of December 2025 and January 2026.
Special prosecutors are simultaneously investigating all companies that have won tenders, which they suspect were predetermined by Belinda Balluku and her subordinates.
During the inspections in these companies, documents, purchase and sale books and computer equipment were seized, which are being evaluated by special prosecutors. Any new evidence that could aggravate the position of Belinda Balluku will be presented at the meeting of the Council of Mandates and Immunity. The Deputy Prime Minister, who is suspended from exercising her functions, is accused of fixing road tenders worth millions of euros.
