This sentence, which will be carried out pending the finalization of the verdict, follows a history where Selimi had also faced prior convictions, including one related to participation in ISIS.

The court’s decision marks a significant legal development concerning Selimi. The initial sentencing of six years in prison represents the outcome of the espionage charges brought forward by the prosecution.
