Today session is held against former KEK chief Nagip Krasniqi, suspected of damaging KEK worth about 3m euros

Today there will be a court hearing against Nagip Krasniqi, accused of misuse of duties at the expense of KEK worth about 3m and 230 thousand euros.

The session starts at 09:30 at the Foundation Court in Pristina.

The Special Prosecutor has filed an indictment on 19 August this year against former head of the Kosovo Energy Corporation Nagip Krasniqi for the criminal act of misuse of official office or authority. He is accused of having begun to misuse office from 15,10,2021 to 19,04,2023.

The indictment reportedly enabled the energy trade to a Slovenian company in Kosovo, which had no license, thus damaging KEK to an estimated 3m and 230 thousand euros, enabling the company from Slovenia to trade electricity in the Republic of Kosovo.

Krasniqi was arrested on April 19th, under suspicion of three criminal acts, misuse of office, influence exercise and conflict of interest. The case includes two single-source contracts worth 3.5m euros.

After his arrest, he was suspended at KEK's helm.

Krasniqi was released from custody, with the decision of the Constitutional Court in Pristina in September 2023.
