Apel releases Saimir Tahiri, removes the measure of house arrest

The Renda Crimes Appeal Court has decided to lift the house arrest measure “ ” for former minister Saimir Tahiri.

“Apel abolished house arrest measures for former Prime Minister”, Tahiri's lawyer Max Hadzia said.

Earlier, Saimir Tahiri's attorney, Max Hadzia, has interpreted in two parts the message of the day given by US Ambassador Donald Lu. According to him, the evidence is stronger, and if the court judges according to them, the arrest measure for his client must be lifted today.

That message was divided into two parts, the message of opinions as common in Albania when there are always such hot issues, or with political problems, both sides, or and such methods that do not want to issue a verdict, open words that circulate pressures or money. What I'm interested in as a law specialist and in the duty of Mr. Tahiri's attorney is Mr. Lou's message, which was very important is that the Court must judge in the trials and law. If the court is to judge in the law Mr. Tahiri today, the house arrest measure must be lifted”, Max Haxhia said. / TCh/
