The Tirana Prosecution Office wants to sentence Italian businessman Francesco Becchetti to 20 years behind bars.
Beccheti is accused for money laundering, document fraud and creating fraudulent schemes.
Some months ago, Albania lost a lawsuit against the Italian former media owner after the latter sought compensation for shutting down his television channel in 2015.
The appeal of the Albanian state was overruled, leaving in force a judgment of the Arbitrage Court from 2019 requiring that Albania pay €110 million after deeming that the reason why Agon Channel was shut down was “politically motivated”.
The Democratic Party sought a few months to launch an investigation on the Albanian authorities who are responsible for the lawsuit, which was overturned by the majority citing confidentiality.
