Hague prosecutor who once pursued Milosevic for crimes in Kosovo will now defend former KLA fighters as a lawyer

The former Hague Tribunal prosecutor Geoffrey Nice, who prosecuted former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic for crimes that occurred in Kosovo, has agreed to become Sami Lushtak's defence lawyer in his process at the Special Court.

Nice is among the prosecutors who had faced Carla Del Ponte, accusing him of hiding evidence against Milosevic and Ratko Mladic.

According to him, documents pertaining to transcripts of the Supreme Council of the former Yugoslavia's Army are left at “terre” “Those documents were opened in the trial against former General Momcilo Perisic, while many Bosnians believe that the very hidden pieces of those documents would be key to Serbia's sentence for genocide”, Nice had declared.

According to Nices Del Ponte had even improvised with the case against Ramush Haradinaj at The Hague. He had told international media that lawyers committed to Ramush Haradinaj's case have suggested there is not enough evidence to establish the indictment, but Carla del Ponte has instructed the two lawyers for the actadia still to be established. She has expected that by accusing Haradinaj she will persuade the Serbian side to arrest Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic”, Nice said.

Now Nice, known by facts from the Kosovo war, has decided to protect former KLA fighters. He is Sami Lushtaku's lawyer in the process against him at the Spcecial Court in The Hague. /Periscopi
