The Basic Court of Pristina has extended the detention of Fatmir Sheholli, arrested on suspicion of espionage in favor of the Serbian BIA, for another two months. The news was confirmed to Telegraf by the spokesperson of the Basic Court in Pristina, Mirlinda Gashi.
"Following the request of the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo for the extension of the detention measure in the criminal case against the defendant F.SH., the preliminary procedure judge, after reviewing the request on November 07, 2025, through a ruling approved the request of the SPRK, extending the detention measure for another 2 months," said Gashi.
Fatmir Sheholli was arrested on October 09, 2025, and the day after, on October 10, the court sentenced him to one month in detention.
He is suspected of acting on the instructions of a senior Serbian BIA official, Bojan Dimic, by collecting and distributing information about properties, business activities, and the functioning of institutions in Kosovo.
The Special Prosecution's file states that Sheholli was recruited by the BIA and provided ongoing assistance to this foreign service, obtaining information that he then distributed to online media in Kosovo. He had been under investigation since August 2024 and was also under physical surveillance.
During the Kosovo Police raids on October 9, 2025, a number of electronic devices, documentation and other items were seized in Sheholli's apartment, which will be sent for examination.
The Prosecution's file shows that Sheholli had received money from the Special Operational Fund of the KIA, in some cases up to over 500 thousand euros, which were handed over by the former directors of this institution, Driton Gashi, Shpend Maxhuni and Kreshnik Gashi in the period 2017 - 2020. /Telegrafi/
