SPAK has indicted the former acting mayor of Tropoja Municipality, Zyra Islamaj, on suspicion of abuse of office.
According to the investigation, Islamaj financed the construction of a bridge in the village of Luzhë with public municipal funds, but not for community needs - but for the interests of her family members who live in this village.
Builder Rrok Gega, whose company won the tender for the construction of the bridge, has also been placed under investigation.
Islamaj was appointed to the position of mayor of Tropoja in September 2024, following the arrest of the previous mayor, Rexhë Byberi.
Byberi himself is under investigation for "abuse of office", suspected of causing damage to the state budget of 2.7 billion old lek.
