The Justice Department co-ordinator under the TDK's Good Governance Cabinetta, Pregim Gruda, today at a media conference called the Government's dismissal of Special Investigation Unit chief Shemsie Haziri, a unit leading investigations to Kosovo's ambassador to Croatia, Martin Berisha and former head of the Kosovo Energy Corporation, Nagip Krasniqi.
Gruda said the government “aims to prevent any investigation of other ruling government and party officials, after Martin Berishaj and Nagip Krasniqi, as well as discourage and intimidate all independent investigators within Kosovo police”.
“Determination of Special Investigation Units shows that this Government wants to protect at any cost its people who are under investigation for corruption, and that's what they are doing by interfering in an unacceptable way in their investigation process. This dismissal explains the real reason and motives why Prime Minister Kurti and this government attacked the state prosecutor with such brutality a few days after the arrest of Nagip Krasniqi”, Gruda said.
According to him, this case “also proves that promises of fighting corruption and reforming justice have been a fraud for the ruling party's electoral scales and never a true goal”.
Also, we call on the Government of Kosovo to give up political interference in the bodies that are conducting investigations and pave the way for this relationship to be cleared. Let me be clear to everyone there is no force you can shut down and silence the corrupt relatives of Mary Berisha and Nagip Krasniqi. Kosovo citizens will sooner or later learn the truth of this corrupt scandal”, he said.
Gruda said that “ky is not the first case that an official inside police is dismissed because he was investigating Martin Berishajan and Nagip Krasniqi”. As he said, “months ago Musli Salihu, director of economic crimes in the Kosovo Police, had reported the media in Slovenia, where Martin Berisha was suspected of money laundering”.
Gruda called on the state prosecutor to commit to secure an independent and impartial investigation into the case.
