(8 years ago)Former Kosovo Assembly Vice President from the ranks of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Azem Syla, charged with criminal acts related to organised crime, in the case of “Toka”, has continued his detention until 12 March of this year. He has confirmed this for the “Justice Act, his protector, lawyer Besnik Berisha. Besides Azem Syla, [...]
He has confirmed this for “His Defence Justice Vow, lawyer Besnik Berisha. In addition to Azem Syla, the detention has been continued to two other indictees -- Ilaz Syla and Ljubisa Vujovic. The ongoing detention has confirmed the other defendant's defense in the “Toka” case, Ilaz Syla, lawyer Haxhi Milaku.
The decision to continue the detention has been taken, and we have accepted today”, attorney Millaku has said. Otherwise, the judgment against Syla and others in the case “Toka” is expected to continue tomorrow, February 13th, at 10:00.
Azem Syla, even on December 5, 2017, had continued this move for another two months, by the chairman of the court, EULEX Judge Arkadius Sedec, arguing that the danger exists for the three defendants to prevent the procedure that is under way against them.
The Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo (PSRK) has filed two charges, one with 17 people and the other with 22 persons, including the former delegation of PDK Azem Syla, who according to the SPRK, had also been leader of this group. Along with Syla stands Shaban Syla, Ilaz Syla, Medjid Syla, Arton Vila, Fahredin Gashi, Shpresim Uka, Nuhi Uka, Shqimni Shujni, Edward Gashi, Sabeddin Uka, Ramadan Uka, Avderhaman Brajshori, Lubisha Vujovik, Gazbisa Vujovik Gashi, Elhame Uka, Lumni Soopjanini Sorjani, Nyr Braj, Sami Macedocci, Ndocondoci, Ndosh Palusit, Masafajanjani, Halika and Hajrıracka task indicta <x1Hyr>, <x2Hyr>, auto-devanim <x856>, Fifiicquificquific, Fiçim defiquific, Fis <xs, <xs <ex7çim <ex77777777>, MP>
The defendants are also charged that, in co-operation, through criminal activities, they have deprived Kosovo of social property, including forging official decisions and documents, fraud and other corrupt actions.
Investigations in this case were also made in co-operation with the High Prosecutor for Organised Crime in Belgrade.
Otherwise, on December 12,13 and 15, 2016, initial sessions were held, in which Azem Syla and others were declared innocent of the criminal acts they are charged with.
After initial hearings, the defence within the 30-day deadline had submitted their objections to the evidence and requirements for dropping the indictment. The chairman of the court, Judge Arkadius Sedec, after accepting defence objections, had refused the same, and on April 4, 2017, he had confirmed the indictment on the first scale.
The defence had continued to demand the collapse of the prosecution's indictment, addressing the Court of Appeals, following the court's decision to confirm the indictment, which it has considered an unfair decision.
The Court of Appeals, on October 26, 2017, has issued a ruling with which he confirmed the first - degree decision and thus put the Special Prosecutor's Act of October 24, 2016.
