British KFOR soldiers, on Sunday morning of August 11, 2002, had entered the residence of former KLA commander Rrustem Mustafa dealt with Remi.
Until Mustafa, under the initial suspicion that he had attended the torture and murder of five people, had been detained for 72 hours, in the Podujevo municipality two days later, protests had started to seek his release.
Just a year earlier, Mustafa had been relieved of his responsibilities in the Kosovo Protection Corps, as he was involved in the names then US President George W. Bush, considered them a threat to the Western Balkans and international staff in the region.
Remi was part of the Llap Group and was sentenced in 2013 by the Court of Pristina for War Crimes. With him, Latif Gashi and Nazif Mehmet were also sentenced.
Rrustem Mustafa was convicted and sentenced to four years in prison.
He and others were accused of opening a stable in the village of Llapashtica, which served as a detention centre and torture centre for civilians, viewed as Serbian collaborators.
Apel, where Remy and others had complained, had announced the decision on August 11, 2015. It was decided there that Rrustem Mustafa will serve the unique sentence of four years in prison.
After the trial was confirmed by the Court of Appeals, being deputy The PDK, Mustafa was forced to hand over his mandate, along with Latif Gashi.
He stayed for a while in the Smrekonica prison, which is an open and unmonitored prison.
While there, he submitted a request to the panel for release on the condition that he release him from prison, which is what happened.
After that, he no longer became involved in public life, but in the meantime, he had given several interviews about political events.
In one, in April 2014 in Interactive, he had supported the establishment of the Special Court, as a duty for Kosovo, saying that anyone charged would turn out fair.
After broadcasting the news on KTV, his lawyer, Arian Koci, announced that his client, Rrustem Mustafa, will be interviewed in The Hague on 14 January, marking the first case of special invitation for a former war commander.
