Former President of PDK Azem Syla and other indictees in the case known as “Toka” are expected to appear before the court today.
News of holding the session confirmed for KALLXO.com, Azem Syla defence attorney Besnik Berisha and lawyer Tome Gashi, who in this case defends one of the other indictees.
As KALLXO.com reported the day before, for more than four months since EULEX announced that it will transfer the course to local judges, expected Friday 29 June to resume judicial process against Azem Syla and other indictees.
On February 20th of this year, EULEX court chairman Petko Petkov announced that this subject has been transferred to local judges.
Such a decision by EULEX prosecutor representing this subject has called the “conclusion of the case”.
Shortly after the case was transferred to locals, the local judge freed him from custody measure Azem Syla, while the Court of Appeals changed that ruling by imposing the measure of house arrest.
As weeks later, the Court of Appeals changed the foundation's decision by turning it into house arrest.
In this case in the investigation phase, two protected witnesses have been heard, while as a result of a court change, the case risks returning from the beginning and the witnesses should be heard again.
In the case known as “Toka”, Azem Syla and others are charged with organised crime in changing social-owned lands in Veternik and Llapnasell, near Pristina.
In December 2016, Azem Syla had been declared innocent.
The Special Prosecutor on October 25th 2016 filed two charges against 39 different persons, including the former deputate of PDK, Azem Syla.
First Act, submitted by an international prosecutor The PSRK, has been brought up against 22 defendants and consists of 46 points.
The defendants are charged with organised criminal acts, money laundering, bribery, heavy fraud, duty fraud, legal decision enforcement, misuse of office, legalisation of counterfeit content and tax evasion.
The second indictment established by the same prosecutor charges 17 people with money laundering.
According to the indictment, members of this organised criminal group have co-operated, each with a specific role, to deprive Kosovo of social property through criminal activities, including forging decisions and other official documents, fraud and corrupt actions.
