Appeal eases sentence on convicts for attack on journalist Valon Syla

The Special Department of the Court of Appeals has changed the Act of Foundation Court in Pristina .

The foundation court in Pristina had found accused L. D, K.H. and O.H. L.D. condemning them to prison terms of 2 (two) years.

However, according to Apel's decision, the accused will suffer only from (1) six years (6) in which the sentence will be counted for the time spent in house detention and house arrest from 12,04,2023 to 07.12.23.

In reasoning of the second-instance court's court court, it has estimated that the complaint was not included in the essential violations of the criminal procedure provisions by Article 384 of the KPP, by the fact that the device is clear and understandable, since it includes all the circumstances and elements that make up the image of the criminal work for which it has been declared guilty of highly charged, and as such is in full compliance with his reasoning, in which the full and clear reasons for the crucial facts are presented, along with the reasons for the judicial settlement of criminal cases, while there are no other violations of the ordinance that had been imposed on the ordinance.

As for the complaint claims pertaining to the wrong and incomplete proof of the actual situation presented by defenders of the accused, this court has found that the first degree court has acted fairly and legally, taking a conviction in which the accused have been convicted because the elements of the coveted criminal act have been fulfilled in the actions of the accused.

All in the end, this court estimates that the sentence pronounced as the device of this act is in harmony with the intensity of the social risk of the offense committed by the accused, the degree of criminal responsibility of the accused, and the intensity of the risk and effect of the injury caused by the injured, and that the goal of the constitutional sentence of KPRK Article 38 will be reached with this sentence.
