Special Prosecutor Uninformed to Release Azem Syla

The Constitutional Court in Pristina today acquitted Azem Syla, former PDK deputy, of domestic arrest with the argument that the prosecutor has not demanded extension of the security measure.

But in the Special Prosecutor, they are not informed of the developments in this case.

Sylla Hoxha, responsible for communicating with the media in the Kosovo Special Prosecutor, told KALLXO.com that he is not aware of the case.

I don't know anything because I'm not a random prosecutor... If I'd been in the offices I'd known what happened”, Hoxha said.

The prosecutor who has filed the indictment in the case of "Toka" accused of Azem Syla and over 50 other suspects is Avdurrahim Islam, which becomes known to have retired last week.

Earlier, the head of the Constitutional Court in Pristina, Aferdita Bytyqi, said Syla has been released because “The prosecutor has not made proposals for extending the measure of house arrest”.

“This way, it no longer has any measure (of security)”, Bytyqi said.

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.

KA LLXO.com also secured the 264-page indictment of Syla and others. It has also brought exclusive images from the operation to arrest suspects in the case known as property.

Among the betted houses was the already former PDK delegation Azem Syla.

The Court of Appeals has confirmed the indictment against the group charged in case “Toka”.
