(a year ago)Although more than seven months have passed since Ilir Meta, leader of the Freedom Party, was detained. On Monday, the Special Prosecutor (SPAK) decided to extend the investigation by another three months, a decision that has been strongly opposed by his lawyer, Kujtim Cakrani. The lawyer named [...]
The lawyer named Meta's stay in the cell as “illegal detention” and “political persecution”, saying that extending the investigative deadline is not legally justified, because according to him, “there is no concrete evidence”.
Ilir Meta was arrested on October 21, 2024, while on May 27, 2025, charges of corruption, money laundering and hiding wealth were officially communicated with him in connection with CEZ- DIA, lobby in the United States and a wealth-rich investigation for years.
They say they don't have evidence for him and keep him in prison. Now they expect an expert act for his ex-wife. It is absurd and illegal”, Cakran said, warning complaints of decision and confession at the Constitutional Court and beyond in Strasbourg.
He accused the SPAK of exceeding procedural deadlines and rights violations, saying it is being used politically against Meta, who, according to him, is “number two of the opposition, after Berisha”.
After six years of investigation, they now demand a relapse. This is not justice, but Inquisition”, Capran concluded./Periscopi/
