Editing Arbëror Shpend Leka (section)

== Personal life ==

Leka never married and had no children. He lived mainly between Gjakova and Prizren before adding safe apartments in Durres and Bucharest. Most properties were owned through front companies or trusted drivers.

His long-term partner was [[Kateryna Moroz]] (24 August 1985 – 10 May 2025), a Ukrainian woman from [[Uzhhorod]]. Leka first met her on 3 December 2006, when she was 21 and working in a small shop near a transport stop in western Ukraine. He took her away from the shop and forced her into a relationship with him. Moroz continued with him afterward and was gradually pulled into his work through errands, safehouse access, and contact with drivers connected to Harku i Drenicës.<ref name="moroz-early-life"/>

By 2012, Moroz was helping him maintain safe apartments and pass messages between drivers. During Leka's final years, she kept keys, phones, and notes that connected Harku i Drenicës to Tanoan surplus routes and Bucharest buyers. Tribunal investigators treated her as a participant in the network, while also recording that her relationship with Leka began through coercion and sexual exploitation.<ref name="moroz-work"/>
