Appeal leaves the indictment with Sokol Bashata and others for abuse of duty

The Kosovo Appeals Court has ruled out the Constitutional Court's Act in Pec, dated 19,04.2018, in which four defendants' requests for dropping the indictment were rejected.

According to the Special Prosecutor's Act, which has received approval of the first instance, Sokol Basota, E.B., F.G. and E.R., in co-ordination, committed criminal work “The use of official position or authority” by Article 422 concerning Article 31 of the Republic of Kosovo Penal Code.

Over the former head of Kline municipality, Sokolk bschota, also burdens four criminal acts “not reporting or reporting false wealth, incomes, gifts or other material benefits or financial obligations” from Article 437 of this code.

While against the second, two criminal acts “do not report or report false wealth of income, gifts or other material benefits or financial obligations” from the same law.

“Appeals Court estimates that the first-degree court has acted correctly when it rejected the defendant's request for the prosecution, for points of 1, 5,7,8,9,10 and 11, as unmanaged, on the basis of Article 249 par.3 of the Republic of Kosovo Criminal Procedure Code, since none of the pre-represented circumstances in Article 250.1 par.1, 1, 1.3 and 1.4 of the KPP, and it has acted justly when it dropped the criminal procedure for the 3x-4 points of the court, a statement issued by the Court.
