The appeal of GJKKO upholds the life imprisonment decision for Xuljano Hoxha

Special Court of Appeal

The Special Court of Appeal has upheld the sentence of life imprisonment for Juliano Hoxha, as well as 16 years for Euglen Halil. They are accused of two murders in Elbasan, that of Emiljano Ramazan and Regis Runaj.

For Hoxha, the decision of the First Instance, which sentenced him to life, remains in force, while the Appeal reduced only one year to the penitent justice who unraveled the murders, Euglen Halil, ultimately sentencing him to 16 years in prison.

The decision in the Special Appeal came after SPAK's appeal of the sentences given by the First Instance.

The prosecution body had requested 30 years in prison for Hoxha and 12 years for Halil, related to the commission of two murders, events which are suspected to have been sponsored by Erjon Alibej.
