Lawyer Kerkini: Wessel can be released with accelerated procedure for the funeral ceremony

There is a possibility and no legal obstacle for the procedures to be carried out in a accelerated manner. I believe this is an exotic case that shows that in some situations procedures should be accelerated, because if they're late, they'll lose their sense. Even if Wessel is released after the funeral ceremony, then the procedures themselves lose the sense of urgency with which he should be treated at his”, he told Klan Kosova.

The principal said that the Special Court should remember that Wessel once again was released temporarily to visit his father had followed all the earlier rules.

It should be noted that Wessel surrendered voluntarily to the Special Court, so there is no need for spectacular arrests. Wessel also, on the occasion of first release, has implemented all conditions set by the pre-procedure judge and in due time has returned to The Hague. Thus, these factors would have to influence the Special Court to react urgently so that Wessel will be able to participate in his father's funeral ceremony”, Cerkeyni said.
