Special Minister Rexhep Selimi mentions US sanctions, ignores Kurti's letter

51 points of arguments and 14 pages of documents were sent to the Special Court by Rexhep Selimi's lawyer, through which the reasons why “10-that” were articulated The KLA, which now faces war crimes charges, must be released from custody. A letter from VV leader Albin Kurti, who sought from the French judge of the preliminary procedure to take on Rexhep Selim's request, had been added to that defence request.

However, all arguments as well as conditions proposed by Selimi's defence have been rejected by The Hague's Specialised Prosecutor. The latter has responded one by a request from Selimi's lawyer for his client's release from custody.

The specialised prosecutor in her parachutes stresses that Rexhep Selim's voluntary surrender to special authorities does not imply that there is no danger of escape or interference in the process. The prosecution says Selimi has been informed that any of his actions could lead to arrest within 24 hours, and that according to them he “has had other solutions, besides voluntary surrender”.

In addition, in its parachutes, the Specialised Prosecutor mentions the fact that Rexhep Selimi is on the US sanctions list. In addition, according to the Specialised Prosecutor, another fact why Selim should not be released is also his tendency to intervene in judicial processes.

But that's not all. She also mentions the flow of her files. It says there are suspicions that publishing these files is part of a witness investigation campaign. According to the same, the KLA's OVL has an active network of people <x0 secondary concern over specialised Prosecutorial Investigation”. According to claims, Rexhep Selimi could influence this course, the news.net writes.

Because of his past role as a senior leader KLA, Rexhep SELimi in a position of particular impact on this network. SELATION Protection Cannot Accept that the existence of such networks creates risks that extend individually to Selimi”, says the specialised Prosecutor's Parares.

From what is noted in the parliament, The Hague Prosecutor has not even been taken with the letter Kurti has submitted to the Court for Rexhep Selimi.

The specialised prosecution has further rejected conditions imposed by Selimi's defence for his release, underlining that EULEX does not have a mandate to monitor the same, Telegrafi writes away.

Even though Kosovo Police have provided assistance in Special Operations, The Hague Prosecutor says Kosovo authorities have no ability to monitor an accused like Selimi.

On the other hand, the prosecution's parapets also mention the Remzi Shala case, known as commander “The Red Moll”. Although the latter had escaped his first invitation from the Special, The Hague Prosecution does not specifically mention the case.

It notes that a war crimes indictment was filed against Shala on October 19th 2016 by local justice authorities in Kosovo. The Hague prosecutor emphasises the fact that Shala, during his trial, had been released from custody and then escaped. It says that although Shala was due to appear in court in January 2019, he had not done so, not even informing the court of the reasons. On this issue, international arrest warrants were issued to Shala.

In addition, as a fact against the release of Rexhep Selimi from custody, The Hague prosecution also mentions Sami Lushtak's escape from KKUK, as well as his conflict with lawyer Gazmend Halilaj, whose row he has been sentenced to 2 thousand euros from the tribunal.

After writing the specialised Prosecutor's prefixes, the French Pre-Procedure Court has given Thaci's lawyers, Selimiqi until tomorrow to submit their answers to the time limits of sending additional answers on their requests for release from custody.

Meanwhile, it is not known whether the request for release was made by Kadri Veselini's lawyer, Ben Emmerson, since there is no premonition that includes the former PDK head.
