Legal proceedings against Gani Geci in Kosovo

Overview

The Basic Court in Prishtina ordered a 30-day pre-trial detention for former deputy Gani Geci following allegations of threatening journalist Lirim Mehmetaj. The prosecution claims that on October 11, 2026, Geci used threatening language, including statements such as, “If you don't remove the post or don't change it, we are going to die,” to pressure the journalist into altering a Facebook post.

Geci has denied the allegations, asserting in court that he was seeking protection for his family rather than making threats. His defense attorney has argued that the detention is legally inappropriate and intends to appeal the decision.
