The Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime has closed the investigations and has sent for trial the file for Kreshnik Hajdari, the Mayor of Kuçovo Municipality.

Hajdari is accused of committing the criminal offense of "Forgery of seals, stamps or forms", more than once.

The investigations showed that Hajdari, being a candidate for Mayor of Kuçovo, in the elections for local government bodies held on June 30, 2019, had the legal obligation and filled out the self-declaration form (dated 11.05.2019), which he submitted to the Central Election Commission (recorded with no. 3222, dated 13.05.2019).

At the end of the election process, the citizen Kreshnik Hajdari has been elected and won the mandate of the Mayor of the Kuçovo Municipality, a position he exercised in the years 2019-2023.

In the content of the self-declaration form, dated 11.05.2019, the declarant, citizen Kreshnik Hajdari, has affirmed that he has never been under investigation or trial by a foreign authority, for committing a criminal offense, and has never been convicted by a final decision by an Albanian or foreign judicial authority.

Likewise, citizen Kreshnik Hajdari, being a candidate for Mayor of Ku?ovo in the local elections for local government bodies held on May 14, 2023, had the legal obligation and filled out the self-declaration form dated March 26, 2023, which he submitted to the Central Election Commission (recorded with no. 17366, dated 02.04.2023).

With decision no. 5, dated 28.03.2023, of the Area Commission for Electoral Administration no. 64, Berat District, it has been decided that the citizen Kreshnik Hajdari will be registered as a candidate for the Mayor of Kuçovo Municipality, in the elections for local government bodies on May 14, 2023.

From the acts administered, the evidence received via letter from the Greek Justice Authorities, it results that the citizen Kreshnik Hajdari is convicted by the final decision of the Court of First Instance Ioannina/Criminal Court with One Member, No. 3286/23- 6-1999, with the re-education measure of reprimand, for the violations: Entering the Greek territory without maintaining the relevant legal formalities (violation of Article 4 §§1 and 3 of Law 1975/1991).

The defendant Kreshnik Hajdari had the legal obligation to declare this circumstance in the self-declaration form, in relation to his conviction by a foreign court, this pursuant to law no. 138/2015 "On guaranteeing the integrity of persons who are elected, appointed or exercise public functions", as well as the decision of the Assembly no. 17/2016, "On the determination of detailed rules on the implementation of the prohibitions provided for in law no. 138/ 2015 "To guarantee the integrity of persons who are elected, appointed or exercise public functions".

This fact was not declared in the two self-declaration forms dated 11.05.2019 and 26.03.2023, thus consuming the elements of the criminal offense "Forgery of seals, stamps or forms", more than once, provided for by Article 190/ 2 of the Criminal Code./ CNA
