Gucati may be released from The Hague, his defence says he has fired his reasons for keeping him in custody

Only four pages of parapet, of which two arguments were sent to the Court by Hysni Gucati lawyer Jonathan Rees. This is because Rees already doesn't even see the need to argue more broadly for the release of Gucati from The Hague, as he claims that all the reasons to keep him in custody have ceased, the news writes.net.

He has said that the longer a person is kept in custody, the bigger the burden on specialised rooms to justify continuing custody, the news writes.net.

“The defense repeats that the longer the person remains in custody, the bigger the burden is for the specialised rooms to justify continuing detention. Clear assumption is in favour of the accused being at large. The detention can only be extended (i) when the strict conditions of Article 41 (6) of the Law continue to be met and (premed remains strictly necessary and proportional, considering whether other measures less strict than detention could be sufficient”, Reese's parliament said.

In this context, Rees has said that the evidence or the reasoning of keeping Gucati in custody has been the same from the very beginning, and there have been no other arguments that could meet the condition for continuing holding, the news.net writes.

“Anyway, the SPS has now made it clear that, in the trial, it will not, and cannot, produce a single document for which they claim that Mr. Gucati was responsible for the distribution, which was not already in the public domain”, is now said in Ree's claim.

As for witness intimidation, this main argument of the Prosecutor's detention for Gucat, the defence says that the SPS has already made it clear that in court I won't call any witnesses who would testify that they were afraid or threatened by Gucat's actions.

“further, the SPS has also made it clear that, in court, it will not, and cannot, call a single witness to say the avoidance they were threatened or frightened, or that they had faced other serious consequences, as a result of Mr. Gucati”'s actions, the lawyer Rees said further.

On the other hand, attorney Rees has suggested that the ban on Gucati's detention can no longer be considered necessary and proportional for any reason, and that his release should be ordered immediately, by or without conditions.

The “in light of the SPS's clear position as provided earlier, states that the continued ban on Gucati can no longer be considered necessary and proportional, and that release should be ordered immediately, with or without any of the conditions proposed before”, he said, writes the news.net.

In view of arguments as higher defence, the lawyer's only request is the immediate release from Gucati's detention.

On this issue, French Pre-Procedure Judge Nicholas Guillou is expected to make a decision in the coming days.
