President Haradinaj- Stublla case turns to retrial by Apel

The Constitutional Court Act in Pristina, dated 04.10.2019, has been cancelled under official office, and the criminal case has been returned to the same court, to the retrial and deployment of”, the statement said.

The fact is that the Constitutional Court had found the accused guilty about a year ago because of the criminal offence “of nonreporting or reporting false wealth, income, gift, other material benefits or financial obligations”. For that, it was sentenced to 8 months in prison on bail, in the 1 year verification, as well as fine punishment, in the amount of 1,000 euros.

The Court of Appeals points out that it has found that the court's first-instance act is involved in essential violations of the penal procedure's provisions, because the device of the complaining act is contrary to itself, as well as to reasoning, because it contains no crucial facts that characterize criminal activity.

And it turns out that the first instance court, with the bias released, has not correctly confirmed the incriminating elements of the criminal work, which are burdened with the accused, because it has initially had to prove the elements which characterize criminal work, which implies in the actual description the device of the complaint bias is flawed. For these and other reasons, the case was decided to become retrial”, said the communique.
