Supreme Court Leaves Nagip Krasniqi in Prison

This, according to the Supreme One, has been rejected because of criminal acts, abuse of official position or authority, exercise of influence and conflict of interest.

“In the criminal case against indictees N.K., due to criminal acts: abuse of office or official authority, exercise of influence, misuse of office or official authority, conflict of interest, placing in terms of the request for protection of the legality of defendants, attorneys Virtue Ibrahimaga and Taulant Ferizi, at the session held on 16,05.203, the Supreme Court's college ruled for the refusal of this request”, says the Supreme Court's announcement.

With this Supreme decision, KEK's chief chief remains in custody.

Otherwise, Krasniqi was arrested on April 19th, following raids conducted by the Special Investigation Unit at his office in KEK and his two residences, and the same was sent to maintenance.

He allegedly committed criminal acts “Use of official task”, “Influence” and “Conflict interest”.

While, on April 20th, the Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo (PSRK) submitted a request to the Foundation regarding the appointment of the detention measure to Krasniqi. After holding the hearing, the Foundation Court in Pristina assigned the KEK director a month of detention.

Against the Constitutional Court's decision in Pristina for the appointment of a month-long detention measure had filed a complaint against Krasniqi's defence, with proposals for the Court of Appeals to approve the complaint as based and to release the defendant from custody by assigning him a softer measure.

While, on May 8th 2023, the Court of Appeals has rejected Nagip Krasniqi's defence request, leaving the same one under the detention measure, arguing it could affect witnesses.

Nagip Krasniqi on 25 April 2023 has been suspended from the post of KEK executive chief. /Periscopi/
