Court Denies Gledion Rehovica’s Seat in Parliament

Former MP Gledion Rehovica will not regain his seat in the Parliament. The Administrative Court of Tirana refused the request of the former MP of the Socialist Movement for Integration (LSI) to be reinstated and be paid 13 monthly salaries.

Following Prosecution Office’s decision on January 31 to cease the investigation, Gledion Rehovica demanded to return to his seat in the parliament, which is currently held by the LSI MP Silva Caka.

At the request of the Decriminalization Directorate of the General Prosecution Office in 2017, the Central Election Commission revoked MP Rehovica’s mandate in January 2018, after it was revealed that he had allegedly submitted incomplete information in the decriminalization form, in an attempt to hide a criminal offence in 1999 in Italy under the false name Kusta Mina.

However, the Tirana Prosecution Office later reached the conclusion that Rehovica did not violate the decriminalization law after all.
