The Special Appeal lowers Berisha's request, leaves the house arrest “”

For almost a month, Albania's former prime minister, Sali Berisha, is under house arrest, with the decision of the First Stairs Court.

This Thursday, the Special Appeal after hearing the former prime minister's attorneys' arguments, has decided to bring down the demand for a change of security measure or its relief.

“The 27th act, the date 16,01.2024 census, recorded on a person's complaint under S.B.'s complaint, with the object: “Annkim against decision No. 520, the date 30.12.23 (confirmed on the requirement for replacing personal security measure) and decision No. 521, age 27.12.2023 (responsed on a judge's request) of the First Century Special Court for Corruption and Organised Crime”, and established approval of No. 520, the date 30.12.23 of the First Scale Special Court for Corruption and Organised Crime“, the Court reports.

In a press proposal, attorney Genc Gjokutaj has named this Apel decision a absurd one by stressing that he will continue the withdraw at the Supreme Court.

The court approved the First Scale decision. I told you yesterday, the request for the court's expulsion was considered after making the decision for Berisha, is absurd. Neither more nor less, the Court of Appeals confirmed that the political goal of keeping in solitary confinement was finally realized. Because for SPAK and the Anti-Corruption Court, it doesn't matter whether he shows up or not, whether he gives an explanation or not, is available to the process or not, the goal is to isolate him. Mr. Berisha came a day before the trial, the court pushed him today, I didn't understand why. There has been another mistake, that it has not been applied for the exception that we have animated with the decision. The battle continues! She announced the verdict, we have no expectations... the Apel” decision will be redefined, Gjokutaj said.

The opposition leader's two defenders consider the decision handed down on December 30th as illegal and taken under conditions when their application for the expulsion of Judge Irena Gjona had to be considered earlier. Meanwhile, prosecutors say Berisha has failed to respect the court's decision making and the importance of criminal acts. /tvclean. al
