The Special Prosecution does not drop its accusations against former Interior Minister Saimir Tahiri, demanding the burden of charges and the conviction brought to him at the Supreme Court.
The institution has handed over the recursive to the Appeals Court's decision, demanding a 12-year prison sentence for the former senior official.
The prosecution's body has been addressed to the Supreme Court, with the request to break Appel's decision and put charges against the former minister of narcotics trafficking and participation in structured criminal groups.
On these charges, the Special Prosecution has also called during the trial in Apel, Saimir Tahiri's guilty plea, and his 12-year sentence of freedom.
The prosecution has directly accused the former minister of favouring his group of cousins led by Moses Habilaj in the activities of cultivating and gathering cannabis in Vlora and trafficking in Italy.
The same penalty has been sought for former Vlora Police Director Jaeld Cela, who, according to the SPAK, has provided protection and invulnerability for members of the Habilaj group who were cultivating and trafficking drugs during the time Tahiri was interior minister.
In early February of this year, after a several-year process, Saimir Tahiri was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months for lifting freedom for the abuse of office, as the court assessed that by actions and inactions, it allowed the country's cannabis during the time it was the interior minister.
The court estimated that in the prosecution file there was no evidence of drug trafficking charges and participation in criminal groups, praising the level of sufficient provisibility only on charges of abuse of office.
By February of this year, the former minister has begun serving his sentence at the Fieri prison.
Besides the prosecution, the recursor to the Supreme Court has warned lawyers seeking innocence with the argument that the Prosecution has no evidence of the charges it has filed.
