Edi Rama: Veliaj is not defendant, prosecution does not have evidence to seek detention

“Tirana Mayor, who was given prison arrest measures yesterday, is not a defendant. So the prosecutor himself does not think he is ready to seek the opening of the trial, because he does not have enough evidence, but he does have enough doubts based on a series of insufficient evidence. According to him, not to me. Erion Velia's status today shows this exactly”, Rama said.

Be assured that we all know we are in this discussion of 2 or 3 days, the difference between suspects and defendants. The suspect is someone for whom the prosecution itself is aware he does not have enough evidence to seek his imprisonment. So to file charges to say this person has made 1,2.3 for this person I demand punishment. While the defendant is exactly someone for whom the prosecutor goes before the judge and tells him, I want jail for this person I have these evidence, trial” begins, Rama said.
