The debate between the two lower courts, where one of them considers the Vjosa river bank as state property and the other as the property of the municipality of Përmet, has convinced the Supreme Court that the case against former mayor Gilberto Jaçe should be considered a story to be retried.
The first instance found Jacen guilty after the prosecution investigated the lease of a plot of land on the Vjosa side in favor of the “Vjosa Përmet Rafting Center”. This court stated that the reasoning of the former mayor that he carried out these actions to develop Përmeti is a proof that the possibility of developing a city is not judged according to personal conviction by a person dressed in public office.
On the one hand, the appeal says that the former mayor has exceeded his powers by taking over the competencies of the Municipal Council but that it is not proven that the abuse was committed intentionally.
The Supreme Court finds that the appeal did not properly see the duties that the mayor had at the time and the powers to grant permission to build.
For this reason, the trial files have been sent to the Court of Appeals with the respective duties where it must be understood whether or not he has abused his duty.
For decades, the central and local governments, from Tirana to Përmet, have clashed over control powers over the territory. The decision on the former mayor of Përmet may have consequences regarding this clash of competencies in the future.
