Kosovo's Appeals Court has decided to retrial Kosovo Foreign Minister Melza Haradinaj Stublla's case, which a year earlier was found guilty of false property reporting.
That's how it was made known through a media communique by the Court of Appeals.
The Constitutional Court Act in Pristina, dated 04.10.2019, has been cancelled under official duty, and the criminal case has been returned to the same court, to retrial and deployment”, said in the communiqué for media.
The basic court had convicted the accused about a year ago because of criminal acts “of non-reporting or reporting fake property, income, gift, other material benefits or financial obligations “from Article 437 par.2 The Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo. For that, she was sentenced to 8 months in prison on bail, in the 1 year verification rate, as well as fine punishment, in the amount of 1,000 Euros”, is said to be further in the communique.
Also in the communiqué it is said that the Court of Appeals has found the court's act in the first instance to be involved in substantial violations of criminal procedure provisions.
“The Court of Appeals found that the court's act of first instance is involved in essential violations of the criminal procedure's provisions, because the device of the complaint act is contrary to itself, as well as to the reasoning, because it contains no crucial facts which characterize the criminal work”, is said in the communique.
Also, according to the communiqué, “from the subject's paperwork results in the first instance, with the bias released, he has not correctly confirmed the incriminating elements of the criminal act, which are placed in the burden of the accused, because he had to prove the elements which characterize criminal work, which in fact implies the letter of the complaint bias is flawed. For these and other reasons, the case was decided to become retrial”.
