The decision on Hysni Gucati and Nasim Haradinaj, is what the judge is currently reading:
1. They are responsible for criminal acts that hinder the administration of justice.
2. They published information on the names of hundreds of protected witnesses.
3. They did so repeatedly and enthusiastically.
4. They treated with contempt and insults those who chose to cooperate with this court”
Hysni Gucati, along with Nasim Haradinaj, was 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. /Periscopi
