A participating victim in Salih Mustaf case gives up compensation

The victim's request to relinquish this right was issued on May 15th 2024 through the victim's defender, who became public on March 17th 2025.

“On [ E REDECT] The desire to give up [is clearly expressed] E REDAKUED] the compensation given to” is said to be presented to the victim's defender.

The same victim, he had asked the judge to oversee this order, Gilbert Beatty, to order the amount assigned to him, to disseminate it to other victims, which is seven in all except the victim in question.

While the judge committed to overseeing the order to Mustaf has said that giving up compensation does not alter the content of the order, which is final and determines the amounts to be paid for each individual victim based on the damage they suffered.

While receiving more compensation than being assigned to the victims, according to the judge, it would not be in accordance with the order to remedy.

But since the damage has not been paid in total, the distribution of this amount proportionally to other victims would not change the order for damage, it would only ensure that existing funds are distributed effectively.

That is said in the decision made on July 18, 2024, which was made public on April 3, 2025.

“M E PRAY [E] REDOCTED] forgo any payment in the application of the given damage [ E REDAKHED], under the terms of the order to remedy. H THE request to distribute the amount of money given [ E REDAKUED] among the remaining victims”, the decision says.

The act against Mustafa in the first instance was announced on December 16th 2022, with which Mustafa has been sentenced to 26 years in prison.

While on April 6, 2023, Salih Mustafa was ordered to pay 207 thousand euros for the damage to the victims. Later, he had submitted 51 points to the Court of Appeals' panel against the punitive decision of the Special Foundation to him.

The Special Appeal, on December 14, 2023, has pronounced a case against Salih Mustaf, with whom he sentenced him to a unique sentence of 22 years in prison for war crimes.

According to DPS, Salih Mustafa had applied for protection of legitimacy in the Supreme, and the decision on this requirement was taken on 29 July 2024.

In his request for protection of legitimacy, Mr. Mustafa raised five points, which related to the translation of the Appeals Act into Albanian, his guilty plea for murder as a war crime, as well as the measure of sentence”, said at the DSF report.

The request for protection of legitimacy, Mustafa, had handed over on March 13th 2024 with whom he had demanded the Supreme Court of TSK to modify first and second degree judgments, canceling the sentences for arbitrary ban, torture and murder, thus declaring him innocent or completely canceling his convictions and turning the case into a retrial.

Mustafa has put forward five points, through which he has rejected Appeal's decision, with which he was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Mustafa's request had been accepted in part, so the Supreme One had restored the case to Apel to establish a new sentence on the accused.

In reasoning with the court, the head of the Appeals panel, Michele Picard, said that the first degree court had made an outstanding mistake in condemning Salih Mustaf. She also added that a sentence rated for 22 years in prison, even counting the past time in custody, reflects the overall criminal activity of Mustafa.

And on September 10, 2024, The Hague's Court of Appeals has decided to change the sentence from 22 to 15 years in prison for Salih Mustaf after the Supreme returned the case to that degree. Again, Cal complained to the Supremee about Apel's second decision, but the third scale gave him the sentence.
