After being declared innocent, former prison director seeks compensation

Through a civil indictment, former senior official wants to be repaid by the state for every day held in his cell.

Exactly about the period from February 21, 2017, when he surrendered to a security measure declared in absentia until September 19th, 2018, the day he was acquitted by the War Crimes Appeal Court.

With the argument that the justice witness who accused him was trying to facilitate his position in justice, Arthur Zoro insisted on innocence during the 20 months of trial.

Zoro, who was also a prison officer in the State Police, was tried isolated from the part of businessmen who were accused of being favoured to win the prison food tender.

But referring to the testimony of fellow law worker Ilaz Labi, he was sentenced to five years in prison.

This sentence was rejected by the appeal, and therefore Arthur Zoro, who was accused of corruption, was acquitted.

A decision of the cut and unrecured form of the prosecution. On the other hand, Ilaz Labi and 3 businessmen were sentenced to about two years in prison each, writes Top Channel.

There is not yet a position by the Prosecutor's Office to investigate the witness of justice for false testimony before the Court.
