The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, appeared this morning at the Special Prosecution, in a development linked to the complaint filed against judge Irena Gjoka. According to the version made public, he and his son-in-law, Jamarbër Malltezi, were summoned to be questioned in the capacity of complainants.
Why Berisha was summoned to SPAK
The case is related to the complaint that Berisha and Malltezi filed against judge Irena Gjoka, over claims of falsification of the self-declaration form in relation to a conviction in Greece.
Gjoka’s name is also known for another highly politically charged file: she is the judge who signed the prosecution’s requests in the “Partizani” case, in which Berisha himself and his family circle have been involved in direct clashes with the justice authorities.
Political attacks after leaving the Special Prosecution
After leaving SPAK, Berisha did not limit himself to the complaint procedure, but used the public appearance to attack the institution, which he called the party’s “Skapi.”
He said that he had appeared at SPAK’s request and that, according to him, he had never previously been questioned in the capacity of a complainant in this case.
Berisha’s accusations against the judge
In his statement, Berisha said the complaint was not personal in nature, but was intended, according to him, to seek the judge’s punishment under the law. He made strong accusations against Irena Gjoka, claiming that there is information concerning expulsions from Greece, falsifications, and an undeclared criminal conviction.
These are claims articulated publicly by Berisha. At this stage, the case remains under procedural handling and there has been no publicly announced decision by the justice authorities on the substance of the accusations he has presented.
A clash that goes beyond a single complaint
Today’s development shows that the conflict between the opposition and the justice institutions is continuing to deepen, especially when cases involve individuals and files carrying political weight.
In this case, the clash is not only over a specific complaint, but also over the credibility of the justice system, which continues to be the subject of harsh accusations from Berisha, while the institutions speak mainly through procedures and official silence.
Berisha’s appearance at SPAK adds another episode to the long-running confrontation between him and the special justice structures.
For the moment, what is known is that he was questioned as a complainant, while the accusations made publicly against the judge and against SPAK remain part of a battle being fought simultaneously on two fronts: in procedure and in politics.
