Allowed construction without a permit in father's apartment/ House arrest

The Police Supervision Agency has announced the security measure "house arrest" for Saranda police officer Ajdin Islamaj.

According to the announcement of the AMP, following the investigations conducted by the Saranda Prosecutor's Office, new facts and evidence have been documented regarding the issue of illegal construction in Ksamil.

It is reported that the technical expertise report has shown that on the property owned by his father, where Ajdin Islamaj also resides, construction works were carried out without the relevant permission of the competent authorities, consisting of adding a floor to an existing two-story building, as well as other construction and reconstruction interventions with the aim of changing the purpose of the building to an accommodation function (hotel).

From the verifications carried out, it does not appear that any building permit has been approved for the construction of this additional floor.

Also, based on the analysis of satellite images and investigations, it has been proven that the works were carried out during 2025, during which time the police officer covered the area.

House arrest for Saranda Police officer, Ajdin Ismailaj

The Police Supervision Agency (AMP), following the investigations conducted under the direction of the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Saranda, has documented new facts and evidence related to criminal proceedings 304/2026, where the police officer Ajdin Islamaj, at that time with the duty of Specialist for Crime Investigation at the Saranda Police Station, is also under investigation.

The technical expertise report administered within the framework of the investigation has resulted in the fact that on the property owned by the father of the citizen under investigation, where Ajdin Islamaj resides, construction works were carried out without the relevant permission of the competent authorities, consisting of the addition of a floor to an existing two-story building, as well as other construction and reconstruction interventions with the aim of changing the destination of the building to an accommodation function (hotel).

According to the conclusions of licensed experts, the completed structure constitutes new construction within the meaning of the legislation on territorial planning and development, and its completion required the issuance of a building permit from the competent authorities.

From the verifications carried out, it does not appear that any building permit has been approved for the construction of this additional floor.

Investigations have revealed that the area built without a permit is no less than 159 m² with a hotel function.

Also, based on the analysis of satellite images and investigations, it has been proven that the works were carried out during 2025, during which time the area was covered.

AMP believes that respect for the law should be the first and non-negotiable standard for every police officer. Citizens' trust in law enforcement institutions is severely undermined when public officials themselves are suspected of violating the law they are obligated to enforce and protect.
