Under investigation for wealth, the Kosovo Special Prosecution Office files indictment against Shpend Ahmeti, the former mayor of Pristina!

The Special Prosecution Office has announced that it has filed an indictment against the former mayor of Pristina, Shpend Ahmeti, for failure to report or falsely reporting assets.

According to the indictment, Ahmeti – who served as mayor of Pristina for two terms, from 2013 to 2021 – had “intentionally” submitted incorrect asset declarations, allegedly failing to declare cash deposits from 2018 to 2022.

"According to the indictment, the total amount of undeclared funds amounts to 172,600.00 euros," the Special Prosecution Office said in a statement, which announced that the case has already been sent for review to the Basic Court in Pristina.

Radio Free Europe has contacted Ahmeti with several questions about this indictment, but has not yet received a response.

The declaration of assets by public figures in Kosovo began in 2007.

After completing the asset declaration process, the KPA, through a lottery, selects a certain number of public officials whose declared assets it verifies.

The law on asset declaration obliges senior public officials to declare their assets 30 days after assuming their new position, and then on an annual basis.

Failure to declare assets, according to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo, is punishable by a fine or imprisonment of up to three years, while false declaration of assets is punishable by a fine and imprisonment of six months to five years.

So far, none of the officials who have not declared their assets have been sentenced to imprisonment.

The Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade, Rozeta Hajdari, was sentenced at the end of 2022 to a fine of 700 euros by the Basic Court in Pristina, due to failure to declare assets for 2020 within the legal deadline.
