According to the indictment filed in March 2024, Biraj, in his capacity as a state prosecutor in the Basic Prosecutor's Office in Prizren, allegedly accepted €20,000 in bribes between April and July 2023 to dismiss a case against three individuals accused of purchasing, possessing, distributing, and selling 130 kilograms of marijuana. The three defendants - Naim Osmani, Ukë Sadria and Arbër Saliu were facing serious criminal charges, yet Biraj reportedly used his authority to terminate their prosecution, citing a lack of evidence.

Investigators discovered evidence of direct communication between Biraj and one of the accused via the Viber messaging application, suggesting a coordinated effort to obstruct justice. Furthermore, Biraj was allegedly instructed by the Chief Prosecutor of the Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Prizren to proceed with the prosecution, but he disregarded this directive.

The indictment by the Basic Prosecutor's Office in Gjilan also includes charges against Shkodran Pulaj and Naim Osmani for giving bribes. Pulaj is believed to have acted as an intermediary between Biraj and the accused. “Betimi për Drejtësi” (Oath of Justice), in December 2023 published a video recording showing a conversation between Biraj and Shkodran Pulaj regarding the dismissal of the indictment in the drugs case.

Despite the serious nature of allegations, the case progressed after the indictment, hindered by procedural delays and confusion about the competent court. Initially, the Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Prizren filed the indictment, but transferred it to Gjilan due to Biraj's prior role in Prizren. However, jurisdictional confusion led to further delays, as the Basic Court in Gjilan later redirected the case to the Special Department of the Basic Court in Pristina. After months of uncertainty, the Court of Appeals ruled that Pristina's Special Department would handle the trial.

Even after the jurisdiction issue was resolved, the trial faced additional roadblocks. The initial hearing was scheduled for July 26, 2024, at the Court of Pristina, but it was cancelled because no representative from the Special Prosecutor’s Office appeared. Subsequent hearings on September 11 and October 4 were also postponed due to missing case files. Finally, at the hearing on October 16, Biraj and two other defendants pleaded not guilty.

One of the most controversial aspects of the case is the indictment's failure to fully account for the €20,000 bribe amount. Instead, the indictment is based on Paragraph 1 of Articles 421 and 422 of the Criminal Code of Kosovo, which prescribe lower sentences for bribery than would typically apply given the amount involved in this case. Specifically, the Criminal Code stipulates higher penalties for bribe amounts exceeding €15,000.

The slow progress in this case, characterised by numerous procedural delays, may significantly undermine public trust in the judiciary, especially in cases involving public office holders. These delays fuel suspicions of political interference and favouritism within the judicial system, particularly in high-profile cases. As the trial moves forward, Kosovo's judiciary faces mounting pressure to ensure a transparent and fair process.
