The French newspaper finds Dick Marty's connections to the Russian spy before charging for organ trafficking.

Jacques Massey: “at the time, the nationalist authorities in Belgrade, like their non-kovital allies, had not stopped blocking Kosovo's independence. So well it seems that history precedes deinformation operations raised through facial news hits by Russian authorities in Europe”

Nine years after it was established by the European Union, the Special Tribunal for Kosovo (KSC) has just proceeded in confidential form to establish charges in The Hague. As the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia targeted in most of the Serb war criminals' cases, the procedures in case are for former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK), which faced Milosevic's army and police from 1998 to 1999. The conflict resulted in more than 13,000 deaths and 1700 missing, primarily among Kosovars. But there were also Serb, Roma and even Albanian civilians, opponents or guerrilla rivals. Charges Against The KLA was dragged in 2011 by Swiss Senator Dick Marty on behalf of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Playing with excitement to listen, he privileged a completely different incriminating, so far never verified, that of “organ trafficking” organised by Kosovo hopefuls.

In October 2011, Clinton Williams was the first KSC prosecutor. At the end of his mandate, in July 2014, he underlined the responsibility of Albanian resistance in the persecution of Serbs, Roma and Kosovars who were fewer than 470 victims in the form of illegal possession, rape and murder. But the thought of organ trafficking, top of the dome of Marty's report, remained to be documented. From this warning: “It is said that every missing or strangled Serb was an object of organ takeover.” Then it was David Schwendiman's turn, in March 2018: “We have about 700,000 pages and 60,000 video evidence. The objective remains to confront individuals with tangible evidence. ”

Finally, his successor, Jack Smith, with the help of his deputy Alan Tieger and Alex Whiting, ends up calling the first suspects and witnesses to The Hague in early 2019. Since then, about 150 former KLA members, often <x0 commanders” of the defenders, were called. The hearing of Republika Thaci's president seemed self-impressible, following that of Kadri Veselin, the outgoing speaker of parliament and founder of the Kosovo Intelligence Service. But always nothing about organ trafficking...

The initial charge.

The initial indictment was made in April 2008 in a memo series by Carla del Ponte, prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) from 1999 to 2007. Transmitted by co-citizen Tessin Canton in Switzerland Dick Marty before the Human Commission and Rights at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly, the incriminating was validated in January 2011 by the European justice mission E ULEX, installed in Pristina by 2008.

The main source referred to by Marty was a group of Albanians employed as KLA drivers: “al solid elements received by witnesses directly let it be thought that prisoners were even aware of what lay ahead.” And to quote a request for alleged mercy addressed to the guards saying that “a quick execution to be saved from cutting to pieces.” These words were actually broadcast since 2002 by American journalist Michael Montgomery in a footnote directed to the ICTY: the “The man asked us to kill them timidly. True don't want to be cut in pieces. ”

A first procedure was opened based on an alarm raised by the journalist. But it was closed in 2004 as pointed out by Jonathan Sutch, ICTY representative in Kosovo: “The information was based on meetings with witnesses, all former KLA participants whose credibility was uncertain.” There were also extremely suspicious accusations. Seven months after the Marty report, another key “witness” emerged from anonymity, “Adrian”, appeared on September 11th 2012 on Serbian television. RTS: “given me a scalper. I put my left hand over his chest and started cutting it. Blood sprayed. He started screaming, asking us not to drown...” The rest of what he said was free of overindulgence. Later, a proverb named Nicholas Schmidt confirmed (“Bring up the bodies” The New Yorker, 2013) that “Adrian” was used several times by Serbian security to launch charges against KLA...

The Marty report finally proved to be the only basis for establishing an ad hoc tribunal on this organ trafficking hypothesis following the adoption of Resolution 1782 at the European Council Parliamentary Assembly on January 25th 2011. Russian, Greek, Cypriot, monogasca and Serbian representatives were in maneuvering all the time of this session. MP Leonid Slutsky had given his tone together with colleague Kosachev, one of the founders of the final resolution: “The illegal trafficking of human organs! You can't imagine a more filthy crime. [...] This crime involves the responsibility of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, the same ones who have taken positions in Kosovo authorities to continue their [cannibalistic] business. ”

Rumors

We note that Slutsky, close to nationalist Yirinoski, is now on the list of Russian personalities to whom visa is handed over for Western countries following Russia's annexation of Crime. In the debate, chosen by Western Europe wanted to prove “cautiously”, including French Jean-Claude Frécon: “This report makes together a decade of gossip about this famous organ trafficking without any real progress.” But only Croatian Miljenko Doric reminded him that “transplantation is a complex operation. [...] Organs must be removed in sterile conditions, transported quickly; doctors should be skilled and clinics should be very well equipped.” It means all that was missing from Albanian defenders!

For his part, Dick Marty wipes out any doubts: “Yes, we have found witnesses; yes, they are creditable; yes, they have allowed us to be correct [like]. No, they have nothing to do with Serbs or Russians. In fact, it was based primarily on sources of UNMIK and the ICTY, whose values were questioned in 2004. The files of a Serbian prosecutor, on the other hand, had helped him draw up his observations on the KLA, in the second version of his report. The senator had considered only a real procedure, opened in Pristina at EULEX's initiative, in connection with the trafficking of organs practiced in 2008 in Pristina at a private Medicus clinic. The “What we wrote in the report is narrow related to the current connection around the Medicus clinic, with at least one share of the same Kosovo and foreign actors,” concluded Marty. But the criminal file launched in Pristina never confirmed this relationship. Prosecutor EULEX has even confirmed that no link existed between the rumors of the removal of 1999 organs by KLA prisoners and the “Medicus” file for which the responsibilities were sentenced in April 2013.

Secret activities.

Later, Marty's accusations may also be examined in light of the trials that have accompanied the expulsion, in April 2018, by Russia's Consul General at Strasbourg Valery Levistky. This measure was taken because of the illegal activities of a GRU military intelligence agent. But as mentioned in Le Monde (23 and June 24, 2019, this spy was in contact with Senator Marty in early 2010. It means a year before his report was drafted. Officially sent to the administration in Duma, Levistky had accompanied Marty to the Northern Caucasus. Seeing his pedigree, it was hard to imagine that Levistky was pleased to be just a guide. The episode looks like a <x0-second exchange of information” over and over. To then cultivate “Because the Belgrade authorities, like their non-Mokovist allies, had not stopped blocking Kosovo's independence. So well it seems that history precedes deinformation operations carried out by means of facial hits by Russian authorities in Europe.

Similar allegations of organ trafficking had resurfaced in 2018 to target <x0-valpes of white” that helped the population in Syria, which was bombarded by Bashar Al-Assad forces and his Iranian and Russian allies. The charges came from a Russian Foundation for the Study of Democracy.

Dick Marty was never obliged to explain his approvals; his parliamentary immunity served to avoid EULEX's demands. Today, this ex-elect holds a reserve, like some <x0-joker” non-stop. In April 2018, during a meeting at the Hirodelle Swiss tender, he said he expected nothing from the special tribunaline for Kosovo: “Who would be so crazy to testify 20 years after the facts? And since many of the witnesses have already been killed. ”
