The former mayor of Bulqiza, Lefter Alla, is expected to appear before the Special Court today to request his release from prison. ABC News reporter Ermal Vija says that Alla is seeking release due to her health condition.
This request of the former mayor is expected to be examined by forensic experts, who will examine his request for release.
He was arrested for abusing a tender worth over 2.8 million euros, on the charge of “violating the equality of participants in public tenders or auctions” and “Abuse of duty”.
His lawyer Hysni Demiraj claims that his client is not in a good condition to face prison.
