Appeal leaves two people in custody for misuse of votes

The Appeals Court has enabled the 30-day detention measure against defendants A.K. and S.M. Thus, Apel has rejected the complaints of defence attorneys, against the Constitutional Court's ruling in Pristina, as untrustworthy by 11,03.2021. A.K. and S.M. They are suspected of performing works [...]
A.K. and S.M. They're suspected of committing criminal acts: “forging the results of the vote” by Article 216 paragraph 2 concerning paragraph 1 and Article 31 of the Republic of Kosovo Penal Code (KPRK); and “Demaria or receiving bribes regarding voting” from Article 212 par.4 concerning the 31th article of this code.
The Court of Appeals estimated that there is a legal basis for setting the high measure against the defendants, since there is a basic suspicion they have committed the criminal acts they are suspected of, and there are also specific circumstances that make it credible that with their finding freedom, they can prevent the normal course of criminal procedure, influence evidence or even repeat criminal work.
