An electronic draw was held at the Special Court and the three judges who will examine the criminal charges against former President Ilir Metaj and his ex-wife Monika Kryemadhi were determined.
Erjon Bani, Rudina Palloj and Marinela Osmani are the judges who were selected by lot and are expected to set the date for the start of the trial.
This development comes after earlier, the three-judge panel headed by Etleva Deda accepted the request of the three defendants, Fatime Kryemadhi, Ema Çoku and Piro Xhixha, for a shortened trial. According to the law, the panel continued with the examination of the case for the first 3 defendants, while the Metaj-Kryemadhi file was separated. The former couple are accused of corruption, money laundering and concealment of assets.
