Special Judge: We can give you sentences to life in prison.

This, in full opposition to the court's judgments in Kosovo, where the highest sentence does not last more than 15 years, Nacionale writes, Periscope.

The Appeals' “Panel judges that given the Constitutional Court's act in the case, the softest condemnation of the sentence under local legislation is 5 to 15 years in prison in accordance with Yugoslavia's Criminal Code, changed to UNMIK regulation. Whatever this escalation of the sentence according to the local code, it does not limit the Special Court to grant higher sentences until life in prison. The panel does not judge that violations of the principle of legitimacy regarding penalties have been made. Second, regarding factors taken into account, the Appeals Panel judges that Mr. Shala did not identify mistakes and drop objections with them. What about Mr. Shala that he had no lead role at FPC, the Appeals Panel finds that the court was wrong when it did not give Mr. Shala had no command role in the illegal murder. The panel lowers all other claims on relief factors”, he said.
