The US ambassador to Albania, Yuri Kim has reacted to the judgment of the Special Court against Organized Crime and Corruption sentencing the former Prosecutor General, Adriatik Llalla to two years in prison. Ambassador Kim pointed out a reminder that Mr. Llalla has been declared persona non-grata by the United States and that his conviction, shows that nobody can stand above the law.

“Good to see SPAK delivering more and more results. This case, which involves a former high official barred from the US, for significant corruption, shows that no one – no matter how powerful – is above the law. When ALL are equal before the law, ALL have dignity. That is true dignity,” wrote the US ambassador on her personal Twitter account.
