Ina Rama, the prosecutor-general, said that the laws and procedures of security and ammunition storage had been violated by Mediu's "actions and non-actions". She also added that children had been employed in the factory - a "flagrant violation" of the law.
The series of explosions of 700 tons of ammunition powder on March 15 near Tirana, the capital, killed 26 people and injured 302.
Mediu resigned as defence minister two days after the blasts which destroyed a former Soviet ordnance factory and wrecked about 5,500 nearby homes.
