Vlora Hyseni faces investigation for leaking state secrets

Vlora Hyseni Ergys Agasi SHISH SPAK Albania national security

Vlora Hyseni, the former director of the State Intelligence Service (SHISH), has appeared before the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (GJKKO) following her arrest. Hyseni is under house arrest and has been suspended from public functions. She is being investigated by SPAK for two criminal offenses: supporting a criminal authority and revealing state secrets.

The investigation centers on her alleged relationship with Ergys Agasi, a businessman who was a fugitive. Intercepted communications suggest Hyseni provided Agasi with sensitive information, including claims that state radars were deactivated for him. Other individuals involved in the probe include Fatjon Kalluçi, a police laboratory official suspected of leaking secrets, and Embro Sulejmani, who is accused of assisting Agasi while he was in hiding. Additionally, authorities have ordered a search of the residence of former State Police Director Ilir Proda.

The scandal has triggered intense political debate in Albania. Opposition leaders have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, citing a national security crisis. Prime Minister Rama has responded by stating that the case is an individual matter that should be handled by the justice system.
