The Special Court of Appeal decided to reduce the sentence for former Tirana Municipality officials, accused of one of the factions of the 5D file.
The prison sentence for the former director of "Tirana Parking", Eglantina Zere, was suspended and the former official was placed on probation for a 1-year term.
The sentences of the defendants Enkelejda Qyta, Bruno Koçi, Rivjola Baxha, and Kristo Zhulati were also commuted and they were placed on 12 months of probation. Earlier, the Special Court sentenced the former officials to prison, after accusing them of illegally favoring a company indirectly owned by the former head of Ujësjelës, Redi Molla, and the head of IMT, Mariglen Qato, by feeding it public tenders.
The former general director of the "Tirana Parking" institution, Eglantina Zere, and four other Tirana Municipality officials, Rivjola Baxha, Enkelejda Qyta, Bruno Koçi and Kristo Zhulati, have been found guilty and sentenced for the charge of "Violating equality of participants in public tenders or auctions."
Several other former senior officials are also being tried in the 5D affair, including Redi Molla, Mariglen Qato and Taulant Tusha.
