Tragedy in Kocan: 48 Hours of Prison for Former Minister

The Kocan Court has accepted the prosecution's request that Bekteshi be sent to “short detention”, along with seven other suspects, while expected to be appointed to which prison the same one will be sent.

Bekim Max, former director of the Directorate for Protection and Salvation, has also been given 48 hours in custody.

We remember that the nightclub where the tragedy occurred in northern Macedonia had used a forged license. According to Macedonian Prime Minister Hristian Mickoski, the license was issued last year by economy ministry officials.

A lot of questions need to be answered,” said Mickoski, who promised accountability at all levels.

Northern Macedonia's prime minister said: “At the moment we have information that in the moment of tragic disaster there has been a forged license issued in March 2024 in exchange for bribery. It's about a work document for an illegally issued kabar, the original seal of the Ministry of Economy, and the signing of the then official ministry. There are many questions to which the investigation will answer”, said Hristija Mickoski. /a2cn
