Bekim Jashar shows what connection he has with the convicted.

After the arrest, a photograph of him was distributed with one of his detainees, Ilir Boyka.

He has denied having any friendly or family ties, but the person in question had expressed a desire to take pictures with him.

Jashar said there is no connection to anyone from the group of detainees.

The following is Bekim Yasar's full post:

Explaining my name in a few portals, the event and people I have no relationship with, friendly or family

Just because people express their desire to take pictures of me, either as a son of Hamez St. Yasar, or even the mayor of the municipality, cannot necessarily imply true friendship between me and whoever I am in front of camera/photoparat.

I'm sorry about some media, who, without consulting me at all, rush me to make news.

I feel a obligation to the citizens who know me well, and I want to guarantee that no person from the group of detainees knows him or I have no friendship.

The picture being circulated in the media is spontaneously made in a championship football match in Munich, where I was with Ramiz Ludrovci.

Hundreds of photographs inside and outside the stadium have taken place that night, including many fellow countrymen.

I don't try to deny, as I couldn't deny, nor would I deny anyone the desire to take pictures with me, whoever he is, until I know and have no information that the person who wants to take pictures of me is a criminal or condemned by the courts.
