Unconfirmed: Zharku tried to escape again, captured at ANP terminal

This paper suggests through security organs that Zharku had attempted to escape this time again to escape arrest by Kosovo Police at Pristina International Airport, shortly before flying to Sweden.

That was the case with Jarch earlier, exactly five years earlier, when he fled to Sweden.

Economic Crimes Police had been investigating Jabir Zarko for months and was on the verge of arrest. But according to Indesksonline sources “somebody from above had signaled to him that he is on the verge of arrest and that he must flee.

Having learned of this information, the former mayor of Kosovo's small municipality was heading towards Pristina airport to get back to Sweden, but had been monitored by Kosovo police and captured at the airport terminal.

On Monday at Ferizaj's Constitutional Prosecutorship request, the Constitutional Court of this town, Jabir Zarko, assigned the 30-day detention measure.

The reasons in the act of Ferizaj's Foundation Court for the move are reportedly “taking into account the nature of the criminal act, and in concrete cases the defendant is accused of criminally abuse of office or authority.

And this comes to the criminal chapter against official duty and conviction that is envisioned for this criminal offence, are circumstances that justify the detention measure as a measure for securing the defendant's presence in criminal procedure and successful implementation of it, and also that the defendant had previously been on the run to avoid another criminal procedure, respectively, to be executed in prison for three years, which was pronounced by the former District Court in Pristina.

Also, the fact that he is a citizen of Sweden is a situation that shows the potential danger that the defendant could easily escape or flee for the purpose of avoiding successful implementation of the criminal procedure”, the Ferizaj Foundation Court said, among other things, in the act of ruling.
