Haxhi, Lekat, Buffy Cadata for tear gas Canceled

At the request of former delegation Besa Battiu, Tuesday's hearing at the Constitutional Court in Pristina has been cancelled, in the case in which, along with former Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu and ex-Deputers Pal Lekaj and Donika Cadaj-Bujupi, are accused of having tear gas in the Kosovo Assembly in 2016.

That's how Judge Bujar Ahmeti's office has confirmed, reports “Justice Trust“.

In this case, former Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu, former Presidents Paul Lekaj, Donika Cadaj-Bujupi and Besa Buffiu are charged with possession of tear gas in the Kosovo Assembly in 2016.

The Constitutional Court in Pristina had released the fourth in 2021, but Appeals retriald the case.

According to the indictment filed on April 8, 2016, Pal Lekaj, Besa Battiu, Donika Cadaj-Bujupi and Albulen Haxhiu are charged with without authorization having possessed tear gas canisters.

The indictment says that on February 19, 2016, around 12:20, in the Kosovo Parliament hall, after a pause in the Parliament's work, until the accused were returning to the hall during the search by the security workers of the Parliament, the accused had been found and seized by a tear gas tank, which they held without authorization.

For these actions, the four defendants are charged that each separately committed criminal work “retaining ownership, control or unauthorized possession of weapons” by Article 374, paragraph 1 of the Penal Code. /Periscope/
