SPAK seized two properties in 'Kodra e Diellit', Veliaj and

The lawyers of Mayor Erion Veliaj and his wife Ajola Xoxa are reacting after the Special Prosecution Office announced the filing of a new indictment against them.

They were also seized an additional item registered with the ASHK in the name of the commercial entity "AK" shpk, which is suspected to be their hidden assets.

According to the lawyers, Veliaj and Xoxa are not the owners of this seized property and have no property or legal connection with the commercial entity "AK" shpk, nor with the property that is the subject of the "preventive sequestration" property insurance measure.

Lawyers' reaction:

Following media reports and increased public interest regarding the decision of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, in the framework of criminal proceedings no. 27 of 2024, we clarify as follows:

Neither Erion Veliaj nor Ms. Ajola Xoxa are the owners of this seized property and have no property or legal connection with the commercial entity "AK" shpk, nor with the property that is the subject of the "preventive seizure" property insurance measure.

The real estate owned by Mr. Xoxa is the apartment where they reside, in the Selita area, created before the marriage, and this apartment is not and has not at any time been the subject of investigation or seizure by any law enforcement authority.

We emphasize that it is within the legal right of the prosecution to conduct investigations, but the suspicions raised must be based on concrete facts and verifiable evidence, in respect of the principle of the presumption of innocence and the fundamental rights of the individual.

Mr. Veliaj and Mrs. Xoxa have declared their assets, both before and after marriage, in accordance with the legislation in force, and have always been cooperative with the responsible institutions.
Any attempt to distort reality and to link their name to issues that have no legal basis constitutes misinformation of the public opinion and an attack on the public figure of Mr. Veliaj, for which all legal avenues will be pursued to protect his reputation and uncover the truth to the end.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the neighbors of the Veliaj Xoxa couple, and their only "fault" is that they live in the same building as the latter.
