Tirana Prosecutor's Office sends three to trial for murder of judge Astrit Kalaja

The Tirana Prosecutor's Office has concluded its investigation into the shooting of judge Astrit Kalaja, which occurred during a court session involving the contestation of enforcement actions. Three individuals have been sent to trial for the incident.

Elvis Shkambi faces multiple charges, including the murder of public officials, attempted murder of other parties, and illegal possession of weapons and ammunition. His uncle, Gjon Shkambi, is charged with murder under qualifying circumstances. Additionally, security employee Banush Koxhaj is charged with abuse of office.

Investigators suggest the attack was motivated by a continuous conflict regarding property issues between the Shkambi family and the family of E. K. During the incident, Elvis Shkambi reportedly drew a pistol and fired at the judge and several other individuals before being arrested in flagrante delicto.
