The Tirana Court has sentenced Prince Leka Zogu to 1 year in prison in connection with the violence at the royal palace, an event that occurred in March 2024.
Due to the shortened trial, the sentence was reduced to 8 months and suspended to 16 months of probation, for the charge of "Domestic Violence".
Judge Migena Laska sentenced Gjergj Zaharin, Elias' father, to 10 months in prison, which, upon summary judgment, would be reduced to 6 months and 20 days. The court decided to suspend the sentence to 1 year and 40 days on probation.
The same judge declared Elia Zaharia innocent. The three people who were charged with "domestic violence" were tried using a summary trial procedure.
