Jelal Svecla, Sali Zyba, Dr. Millaku, Victory Pacolli, Lieburn Aliu, Valon Ramadani and Arberie Nagavci, according to the court, do not need to stay in custody, nor be charged with any other mascoli, since there is no particular circumstance under which it can be estimated that there is a danger of the defendant's escape with the intention of avoiding criminal responsibility.
Here's the full announcement:
The Foundation Court in Pristina, the General Department for Criminal Affairs, has rejected the Constitutional Prosecutor's request in Pristina for the appointment of the detention measure against defendants D. M, J. S, S. Z, F. P-D and V. R, because there is doubt that the same alone have committed the use of weapons or dangerous means by Article 375 paragraph 1 of the Republic of Kosovo Penal Code and the possession of the official person in carrying out official duty from Article 374 paragraph 1 of the Republic of Kosovo Penal Code, against defendants L.A because there is a suspicion that he has committed the criminal act in carrying out the official duty by Article 409, paragraph 5 related to the 1th Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo and A. Not because there is doubt that he has committed criminal work holding ownership, control or unauthorized possession of weapons by Article 374 paragraph 1 of the Republic of Kosovo Penal Code.
The court has estimated that at this phase of the procedure it has not been necessary to appoint the detention measure, since in addition to the general condition that there is a doubt that the defendants have now committed the criminal acts for which the appointment of the detention measure has been required, none of the concrete conditions are met except all together for the appointment of any measures for ensuring the presence of defendants in the procedure.
This is because there is no particular circumstance under which the tribunal can conclude that there is no danger of trying to evade criminal responsibility, since the same have promised the court that they will respond to all invitations sent to you by this tribunal, and there is no danger of repeating these actions on the part of defendants involved in this criminal case.
The seven defendants have been arrested by dt.21.03.2018 in the Republic of Kosovo Assembly because they have hampered the normal course of the session.
