(9 years ago)The Randa Criminals Court left Orest Sota in prison, who is accused of four criminal acts: money laundering, hiding income, police opposition, and direction in irregular situations. Because his investigative case filed in Elbasan has joined the “Habilaj” file, prosecutors told the court that [...]
Because his investigative case listed in Elbasan has joined the “Habilaj” file, prosecutors told the court that the 863 thousand euros seized in the car have doubts belonging to former minister Saimir Tahiri.
There are doubts, the two prosecutors said, that this currency has been benefited by the former minister from illegal activities.
Prosecutors explained that Orest Sot was arrested after he had escaped a checkpoint of the Elbasan Police, while 863m euros between them and 250 euros were found in the vehicle by which he was travelling, as well as former minister Tahiri's two patents.
But Orest Sot lawyers told the Court that they possess documents proving financial co-operation between the company “Kurum” and society “Icona”.
During an interview for Top Channel, the lawyer also rejected the key testimony of the “manager, Kurum”, which insists that “Kurum” does not accept a cash guarantee.
Whatever the prosecution issued as even witnesses to the security measure requirement, it has nothing to do with conversations that were made with Lefter Sotta, it has nothing to do with this transaction. The prosecution just found a person to ask. Let him take all the conversations his son has had, along with Kurum's employees and others, exorcise whether or not Orest Sotian lawyer Fatmir Braka has spoken about it.
According to the lawyer, there are also wiretapping where Orest Sota talks about the former minister's patents the young man knew nothing about.
The procedure makes that imaginary link that's been made, of finding two patents in the car glove box, when Lefter Sot's son, oresta's son, was not even aware of it, and it appears in phone and environmental wiretapping”, says lawyer Braka.
The defence is expected to appeal the verdict to the Second Stairs Court.
Former Interior Minister Saimir Tahiri himself, after his return from Germany on Monday morning, made no comment on the issue today and the reasons for his trip to Germany.
The departure of the former minister under investigation, while the prosecution did not ask for the passport's deadlock, raised many questions about the reasons for the trip. /Top Channel
