Haradinaj's Gucat trial requires the court to order defenders to reveal any further evidence

The Specialised Prosecutor's Office (ZPS) has been requested by the court, headed by Charles L Smith II, to order the protection of Hysni Gucatit and Nasim Haradinaj to reveal any further evidence they seek to be considered for the sentence by Friday's 16:00 Friday, March 11, 2022. This is done [...]
This was made known through a letter to the JPS court, published on the court's official page.
The document states that in line with the Order for the End of Evidence, Gucatt's defense delivered its final summary, indicating what additional evidence would be considered during the sentence.
On the other hand, Haradinaj's defence reportedly did not address the penalty issues in its final summary, making it unclear what further evidence could seek to present if there are any.
None of the evidence warned by Gucati's defence has been detected. Nor is there an indicator of the general rule in the Specialised Chambers that the bias and punishment be pronounced simultaneously why this testimony could not have been provided earlier during the presentation of defence evidence”, the document states.
According to the letter, The SPS must have announced any proposed additional evidence of condemnation in order to present its full position in final words.
Moreover, protection should not be allowed to force the Judicial Chamber into a double procedure, delaying the discovery of any evidence it wants to submit to the sentence”, it is said further.
Finally, according to the prosecution, given the nature of this case, the announcement given to the accused, the available sources of defence teams, and the limited extent of any evidence that could be offered during the sentence at this stage, there is no reason why the defence should not be able to present their proposed evidence until this Friday, March 11, 2022
Therefore, the SPS is requesting from the court to order Haradinaj's Protection and Protection to reveal any further evidence they seek to investigate for the sentence by Friday's 16:00 Friday, March 11, 2022”, said at the end of the letter.
Hysni Gucati, along with Nasim Haradinaj, is being charged with criminal acts against justice administration, namely obstructing official persons in performing official duties, fearing witnesses, revenge and violating the secret of the procedure.
The “The charges presented in the confirmed indictment rely on well-based suspicion that at least between 7 September and 25, 2020, Mr. Gucati and Mr. Haradinaj uncovered without authorisation protected information from the Specialised Chambers Law, among which identifying data of several (possibly) witnesses, in three press conferences and other broadcast activities, as well as further distribution involving statements on social networks”, it was said in the announcement of the Specialised Chambers.
Gucati and Haradinaj are charged with making derogatory comments against potential witnesses and repeatedly expressed their intention to undermine the work of the Specialised Chambers.
With these actions, Mr. Gucati and Mr. Haradinaj violated the secret of the procedure and feared witnesses (possibly) of the Specialised Prosecutor's Office and subsequently prevented the work and investigations of SPS”, the Kosovo Specialised Chambers announced.
