The guard who became a prosecutor mistreated KLA leaders, Thaci compares Special to Putin's regime

From a prison guard, he became an investigator. Next, I was promoted to the Vice-Chief, all too late as the head of the Para-burging Center, broadcasting Periscope.

All of this is best known to the four quarters of the Kosovo Liberation Army, since their leader Hashim Thaci told the Judicial Chamber at the 27 March session when the last witness was heard. This was after he requested an urgent discussion with his lawyer to request the word from the chairman of the Judicial Chamber, Charles Smith.

US judges and three other judges of the panel, Thaci told them how the former guard, now the prosecutor, has physically mistreated and threatened KLA leaders.

Klan Kosova brings details of Hashim Thaci's statement from the hearing in question.

Hashim Thaci: This court is Kosovo. Kosovo's Assembly was founded to work according to the Constitution and the laws of Kosovo, and I believe that this will end the process. But at the same time, the concerns we've been through in four and a half years here, with the same time we're facing the Prosecutor in front of us today, I want to express concerns and be informed and you as Judge and at the same time as Panel.

Hashim Thaci: We were surprised today when I was surprised when our master appeared in question today. I don't even know his last name, and it's not important, that at the detention center when we first arrived and for several years, he was presented as a prison guard, then as an investigator near the detention center, then as chief chief chief of the detention centre and sometimes chief of the detention centre. All that I speak of is evidence and witnesses. Your Honor, the gentleman in question, Prosecutor today, prison guard yesterday. REDAKUED]

Hashim Thaci: And we, the four of us who are charged in process number six, and we don't use cigarettes. Okay. He personally conducted checks, the current prosecutor. [ Footnote] On certain occasions, the Honored Court Speaker, honoured Panel the Court, has committed insults and threats and physicals against us accused. He has offended us, and he has also carried out physical threats against the prosecutor today. From the practice of the gentleman, [ REDECT], [ REDECT] and others longer.

The court completely edited the abuses, but not even a comparison that equates the Special with the Russia regime of Vladimir Putin.

Hashim Thaci: Even this practice worries me when I see this gentleman today, yesterday he was presented as a prison guard, and today the prosecutor, such a practice against even Russian dissident Navajo, is not the practice where they were stopped in 20 days, they have all reacted.

The former president questions the rapid promotion system within the SPS.

Hashim Thaci: And today I am surprised and surprised to see this. It's probably in the special promotion procedure at the SPO, but we don't feel comfortable and we don't feel respected and treated properly, not legally, when we look at a man who appeared in front of a prison guard yesterday and today he's a prosecutor in the Kosovo Special Chambers.

That day the prosecutor had accepted his earlier commitment.

This is the conversation between him and Smith.

John Devani, prosecutor: Your Honor, it's correct that I worked at the detention facility a few years ago. I can't remember having you. REDECT].

Charles Smith, chairman of the Judicial Chamber: How old is he?

John Devani, prosecutor: I broke my business relationship from there at the end of 2022. And I have one more [ REDAKUED] which is signed in this regard.

Charles Smith, chairman of the Judicial Chamber: The problem is they don't want to proceed with the process. So I'm going to ask you to answer that.

John Devani, prosecutor: One moment, Your Honor. [Prosecution representatives consult]. Your Honor, I have no material arguments to do. I'll just say that I can only say that Mrs. Iodice is willing to take my role in handling any concern of the defense.
