TIRANA, JAN 21 - Prince Leka Zogu, Albania’s royal heir, has been jailed for domestic violence following a shocking incident in March 2024. The 1-year sentence was reduced to just eight months after a fast-track trial, with 16 months on probation.
In a related case, Gjergj Zaharia, grandfather of the prince’s 3-year-old daughter, was handed a 10-month sentence, cut down to just over six months. His sentence has been suspended.
Elia Zaharia, the child’s mother, was cleared of all charges after the court ruled no crime had taken place. The drama first came to light when a video of the incident inside the Royal Palace on March 5 went viral.
In April, the Tirana Court officially ended the marriage between Prince Leka and his actress wife. The couple agreed that their daughter would live with her mother from now on.
