Nagip Krasniqi's lawyer: The prosecution examined the evidence selectively

According to Krasniqi, the indictment is not objective at all and has been raised without the necessary development of investigations.

“Regarding the existence of the indictment I've been notified by media reports of 19.08.2024, as well as the announcement on the special prosecutor's website, without accepting any official announcement. I accepted the official announcement of the indictment by the special prosecution the following day, and I accepted the indictment today on the 2108,2024. In every normal justice system, the media have no access to the indictment in any case before defendants. This is a bitter reality in Kosovo and undermines the credibility of the justice system in Kosovo”, Ibrahimaga has declared.

Ibrahimaga has declared that the prosecution did not include them in the indictment, as it says, their <x0... ... facts and evidence”.

We as protection, immediately after the interview we have sent in a host of facts and evidence that testifies to the lack of existence of elements of criminal work. None of this was taken into account by the special prosecution. Confer to Article 47 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the prosecution is obliged to consider the safeguard evidence. Besides the prosecution didn't appreciate this evidence, she didn't include them at all as evidence in the indictment to be examined by the Court. This is a legal offense and it clearly indicates the lack of objective of the prosecution's bodies in the investigation regarding this case”, he says.

He has said establishing the indictment on the basis of a decision by the Energy Regulatory Office, which says it is still under judicial scrutiny, is absurd.

The current “Se should be stressed that the prosecution has listed legal violations under a decision by the Energy Regulatory Office, which is opposed by KEK and is in a controversial administrative procedure. There is no legal obligation to license licensed operators in the countries of the Energy Community. In this regard, there is an administrative dispute recorded by KEK. The prosecution cannot state violations of the law if such a violation is the subject of examination by a competent court for that dispute. The prosecution does not define violations of the law, but in no case when a case is the subject of judicial examination. Z decision THE RHR is not almighty and that decision cannot be made to prove legal offense or the existence of criminal acts. The rise of the indictment on the basis of a decision which is still the subject of judicial examination in a regular judicial procedure is absurd”, said in response.

According to him, the prosecution examined the evidence in a selective manner.

It is inexplicable for what reason the prosecution has rushed to file an indictment in this case without making the investigation proper and without expecting the competent court's decision regarding whether or not to act on legal violations by defendant Nagip Krasniqi. The prosecution had until March of next year to postpone the indictment. It is also inexplicable to the prosecutor's need for publicity in this case, as well as to see what reason justice organs have shared the indictment with the media. All of this doesn't mean the targets of the prosecution organ in this case”

KEK's former chief chief, Nagip Krasniqi, has been put on charges Monday by the Special Prosecutor. Allegations are that he had begun to misuse the official office yet two weeks from the day he was appointed to this position until the day he was arrested in April last year.

According to the indictment, Krasniqi had enabled the trade of energy to a Slovenian company in Kosovo, which had no license, thus damaging KEKA for about 3m and 230 thousand euros.

It says Krasniqi allegedly enabled the Slovenian company “Holding Sloveneske Electrice” to trade energy in Kosovo, without having the same license.

Misuse of the task is suspected that he had yet to begin it until two weeks after taking office. He was elected to this position on October 4, 2021.

Krasniqi's actions reportedly damaged for over 3m and 230 thousand euros.

“Starting from October 15th 2021 and continuing until April 19th, 2023, in Pristina, in the quality of the official person chief executive at the Kosovo Energy Corporation respectively, exploits the official task in order that economic operator “Holding Sloveneske Electrician” The HSE from Slovenia enabled electricity trade in the Republic of Kosovo ... So that they deliberately approved purchases, signed contracts and authorized their signature, and confirmed continuing to trade with the operator in question, while it was aware that electricity could not be traded with this operator until it was licensed or recognised by the Energy Regulatory Office, decomposing of the same benefits possible for the operator in question, and avoidance of tax payments in the Republic of Kosovo or worth 531.929 euros, discrimination or economic operator operating on Kosovo's market, which were subjected to material duty or privatisation of Kosovo for 3250%).

Energy trade with the Slovenian company was also mentioned in the Energy Regulatory Office report, where and other violations, Z. RHRA had been fined KEKAun with 3.2m euros.

According to the report published on the official website of ZERE '%s', one of the violations KEK had made was the signing of the framework contract with the company “Holding Slovenian Electrice”, a company that has no licenses issued by Kosovo authorities.

According to Z RRE, KEK has continued to buy energy from this company despite remarks and requests it has received.

This time around, sir. The RRE has reacted several times to the official e-mail and official letter, where it has been issued by KEK to act in accordance with the high-profile legal obligations, and to stop the power trading activity with unlicensed electricity. Over again, sir. THREE of 19,08.2022, has monitored the process of commercialing electricity in real time, and has noted that despite the fundamentals and demands. Z THREE for halting power trading with unlicensed electricity, KEK still carries out the power trade activity in non-recognition with legal obligations”, said the ZERECE report.
