No disciplinary measures are taken against arrested Ministry of Industry officials

That was after Hafiz Irfan Lipovica Race was arrested under suspicion of misuse of official office.

But who's leading these two directors until their directors are in custody, it's unknown.

The ministry has not responded in this regard, and if they have taken any disciplinary measures against those arrested by the Special Prosecutor.

In the FOL Movement, they say the ministry has had to face the same with legal disciplinary measures and not be taken in protection from power.

“According to Article 46 as this serious violation, it also follows with four other actions, such as disciplinary violations, which is being removed from civil service, that's firing and there are also three other measures, that should be pronounced by these two officials and which is a warning measure, and it's a five-year ban, and it's also a five-year ban, and also a 20- to 50 percent salary, so none of these measures have been pronounced”, Viona Bunjak said.

However, the Kosovo Institute for Justice says that with the new Code of Criminal Procedure, the decision to suspend public officials could be taken at the request of the Prosecutor.

“In the concrete case in this phase as long as we are under the law for public officials, and the new code of criminal procedure is no longer a question of the institution, but it is a court case, and if the prosecutor is on the basis of the state prosecutor's request, there are reasonable doubts that one of the criminal acts that is determined in a concrete case of corruption, organised crime etc., and there is doubt that the appointed official will influence the investigation, then the court can release the decision for suspension from the working relationship, until the time a decision is made, says Shalzim Sharma at the IK.

In the Special Prosecutor, and at the Court in Pristina, they have returned no answers during the day if such a request has been made.

Hafiz Irfan Lipovica's race was arrested on August 18th, following a several-hour raid by police and prosecutors, under suspicion of state reserve collapses. For this, businessman Ridvan Muharrem, who is close to Prime Minister Albin Kurti, was also put in handcuffs.
