Fredi Beleri in the Court of Tirana |
The Greek Minister, who visited Tirana yesterday as part of the Ministerial meeting of EU and Western Balkan Interior Ministers, visited Beleri in the confines of Durres prison.
The official visit from the high-ranking Greek official comes just a day after the Serious Crimes Court, in a pre-trial session against Beleri, ordered his detention in prison and initiated the legal process against him.
Regarding the visit, it is reported that there will be no public statement from the Greek Interior Minister.
Beleri has been held in custody since May 12 of this year after being arrested for vote-buying ahead of the local elections on May 14.
The prosecution accuses the election winner in Himara of giving 40,000 new lekë to 8 citizens to vote in his favor during the local elections.
