I remember that only a painful indictment was possessed by all the subject paperwork, while we found that there were a host of evidence of 24 material evidence listed in the indictment. I think we should be available because at this stage it is necessary to challenge both the indictment and the material evidence, and I find it impossible without having those evidence available to him I appreciate what surveys they have to protect my”, said lawyer Rashit.

Regarding the attorneys' statements, Victory Prosecutor Sadij said that this session has only come as a replacement, but according to her, from the prosecutor's office, Abresha Shala has reportedly reportedly that the defendant's lawyer, Balaj, has not been equipped with subject papers.

“Although by 22.02.2024 Muhamet Balaj has reportedly filed an indictment against him, and once it has been announced that the defence attorney can be equipped with all the material records which are prosecuted in court, it has been reported that if not reported then the indictment will be handed over by the tribunal in the initial examination, while in Procurois it can be equipped with other case paperwork”, she said.
