Former surveyer calls EULEX former special prosecutor

These statements, Toivonen, have been made Thursday at the Constitutional Court in Pristina, which was invited by the prosecution to testify in the trial of the MTP case, where close to the corrupts are former Transport and Post Telecommunications Minister and current Deputy Prime Minister Fatmir Limaj and others accused.

During her testimony, Toivonen has been asked by the accused Limaj, who has asked to know from her whether the special prosecutor at the time, Isabel Arnal, said she should be caught with evidence or without evidence to send her to jail, but Toivonen said this was a general rumor, which she said heard from a police officer, but not knowing from who.

And you're saying bad talk about people, as far as investigators are concerned, is that we haven't had access to her office, because she's considered us irrelevant to her, it's just been a Bitch”, she's declared Toivonen.

Otherwise, in her testimony, Toivonen has shown before the court that on November 2010 and February 2014, she has been engaged in the EULEX mission as an investigator in the anti-organised crime unit. She said her main area is investigating financial issues.

Responding to prosecutor Charles Hardaway's questions, Tyvonne said he has participated in the investigation of the case known as MTP.

The Witness said the investigative team's leadership in this case was taken after the preliminary leader from Slovenia left the mission.

According to her, when she was working on this investigation, prosecutors of the case have been changed, while stressing that unlike its origin when it was decided on management and investigation decisions, the prosecutor in Kosovo has been the leader of the investigative team, not her.

I wasn't originally the leader of the MTPT case investigation, but she was a colleague from Slovenia, but then after she left my colleague I was the leader. As long as I was a leader, the prosecutor was changed and the new prosecutor changed the approach he was right about. The prosecutor here was the one who led the team and not me what was different from my country because I am there who reasons a decision-making thing. In a way, I've become spokeswoman for the investigation team”, she has declared.

The Witness was asked by the prosecutor if she has participated in the raid on the MTPT case, but she said she cannot know, as she has participated in 23-24 raids and arrests in Kosovo.

After the prosecutor announced it with the 2011 raid documents, the witness pointed out that in the building where this raid was carried out, it has been a big mess that has made the raid process problematic.

From that raid, he said he saw some documents received from the bedroom, telecommunications documents (messages), a gun, and added that he did not remember anything else.

The prosecutor asked the witness to read documents that were raided in which offers various firms have made to win tenders were reflected.

The accused Limaj and his defender, lawyer Tahir Rrecaj, said they consider this a waste of time, because according to them, the defence does not contest these documents.

Otherwise, the day before in the trial of the MTPT case, he has relaxed his expertise -- German expert Klaus Groth, a lawyer by profession but already retired.

He had stated that there is reason to suspect there have been irregularities in the case of tender procedures that were made during 2008 by the Transport and Post Telecommunications Ministry (MTPT).

Otherwise, the Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo (PSRK) had filed a solidised indictment on September 28, 2015, whereby two previous counts of MTP 1 and MTP 2 cases have been joined.

The first instance was established by December 05th 2012, meanwhile, the second indictment on February 19, 2014, and two initial reviews have been held for both. However, with the decision of May 30, 2014, of the then court's chairman, these two cases are united into one, establishing an indictment they have called a consolidation indictment.

After that decision, both sides had filed their complaints, and on the basis of complaints the Court of Appeals on December 23, 2014, had decided that that decision cannot be complained because it is a firm decision.

The consolidation indictment charges accused Fatmir Limaj, Andrew Shala, Nexhat Krasniqi for organised criminal acts, misuse of office or official authority, taking bribes, saving Telak for organised criminal acts, and misuse of official position or authority and the latest indictee Florim Zuka for criminal acts of bribery and misuse of economic authorisations.

In addition to these criminal acts, Fatmir Limaj is also accused of not declaring money for campaigning. /Betimy for Justice.
