The Court of Korça has been designated as competent for considering the case of Zani Çaushi or as it is otherwise known as "The Gangster of Çola".

The decision was taken on Saturday, where the announcement states that the dispute of subject competence between the Korçë Judicial District Court and the Mat Judicial District Court was resolved for the consideration of the case with the object of "reduction of sentence", determining the Court of the Korçë Judicial District, as the competent court for examining the case."

Myrteza Çaushi is sentenced to life imprisonment for creating a gang that committed several murders mainly during 1997.

In this year, the aforementioned was incarcerated in the rehabilitation home with high quality insurance, where he managed to escape during a riot that broke out in the prison.

On the other hand, Çaushi was also sentenced by the Greek justice to 101 years in prison for murder, but managed to escape prison.
