The Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime has rejected the request of Lulëzim Pepa, Fatjon Marku, Aleks (Shkëlqim) Pepaj and Ilir Lazri to replace the security measure of "prison arrest" with a milder measure.
The four applicants addressed the GJKKO on November 5, 2026, also requesting that the Prosecution submit written information on the investigations conducted and security needs.
After reviewing the request, the panel headed by Judge Alma Kodraliu, with decision no. 995, dated November 13, 2026, decided to dismiss it. The court also decided that the court costs be charged to the applicants.
An appeal against this decision is allowed to the Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime within five days, starting from the day after the notification of the decision.
