“This is happening nowhere in the world”: Simmons shows embassy pressure for certain political cases

MP PDK, Hajdar Beqa, asked Simmons whether there had been political pressure from EU member states to deal with certain cases.

Simmons, who had mentioned such a thing even in his reporting, confirmed it, follows Periscope.

He said EULEX had opened cases of discipline against him that “would get rid of”.

There have been regular meetings between EULEX judges and their embassies. I was part of the British Embassy every week. Besides, I was part of staff meetings. ” ] declared Simmons accepting political interference in Euex.

I also have e-mails that contain all e-mail trackings dealing with cases that were priority by embassies. Yes, EULEX has loved certain judges, especially from the East. Those judges were getting a lot more money than they would take in their seats. None of these judges wanted the mission to end. Some of them would do anything to accomplish the work. ” he continued.

This is a case that, in my opinion, has never had to be brought to trial. I don't think there's a place in the world where with such poor evidence it would go to the courtroom. The case was built in the evidence of a single witness who had history of mental illness, with evidence opposed by forensic evidence. If that case were opened in England, it would be ridiculed in court. But this was an important occasion for dialogue. Mr. ” said: Simmons. /Periscope
