Special Prosecutor Wants Sentence for LDK MP, Others

All administered evidence proves beyond any suspicion given that the accused committed criminal acts according to the indictment, so I propose to the Court that the same judge pleads guilty and condemn by law”, said prosecutor Feyzulah, Kalxon.com.

In this trial Naser Osmani and Bahri Shaban are accused of misusing official duty at the moment they voted for monitoring of the “Fan” factory.

Those charges were rejected by MP Osmani, Besnik Berisha.

“What it looks like is the prosecution did not enjoy torturing my client from April 2014 to today, but continues to demand his guilty claim for the vote it has given based on his free obedience”, Berisha said.

He said MP Osmani is a victim and sought his release.

“Nasser Osmani is the victim of a four-year persecution, and on his behalf I request his release from the indictment. End this prosecution because there is no penalty without law and the law favours Naser Osman”, lawyer Berisha added.

MP Naser Osmani himself said the prosecution's indictment is not in the spirit of justice and sought to be acquitted of this charge.

This indictment is inconsistent, undignified, and not in the spirit of justice, so I request that I be freed from this prosecution of the Prosecutor”, the MP said.
Bahri Shaban's defender, lawyer Basri Yupoli, said the prosecution has failed to prove his client's guilt.

During this trial as long as it lasted, no single evidence has confirmed the prosecution's claims that my protector has carried out the work the prosecution claims. He and Naser Osman are only accused of raising the hand they had in office and of having to do it, so I ask the court to release them from charges”, attorney Yupoli said.

Lawyers of other indictees sought their protection.
