Lawyer reveals what Veliaj risks after arrest

The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, was arrested today in his office by BKH agents, with several serious charges, such as that Veliaj has committed "Passive corruption committed 9 times and money laundering."

On the show "The Unexposed", lawyer Jordan Daci explained how much punishment the mayor of Tirana risks, according to the charges brought by SPAK.

"If we start from the number of criminal offenses, it is about 9 times for corruption and the act of laundering the proceeds of a criminal offense, these are serious accusations made. Crimes related to duty are at the level of murder, I am talking in terms of time frames. Up to 12 years is the punishment given for corruption, but the dynamics will have to be seen. However, it remains to be seen whether he is found guilty.

The variant is that you are convicted 9 times and the sentence is added together, but it is not an arithmetic addition. It implies a sentence that is a minimum of 10 years or more, but even intentional murder is punished with a minimum of 10 years and the most serious 20 years, but, always, if these charges are proven.

After Veliaj's arrest, unfortunately the municipality will collapse with the leadership, because they are non-existent due to the eclipse that Veliaj has made them. When there is more than one vice-chairman of the council, one of them is mandated. On the other hand, the law provides that when the mayor is absent for more than 3 months, he is dismissed by the prime minister. But we have a precedent with the Beleri case, we can have a dismissal like in his case "- said lawyer Jordan Daci.
