While on February 11th 2026, he gave his final word on the defence of Hashim Thaci and began the defence of Wessel, which is expected to continue tomorrow 12 February.
Otherwise, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office, on September 30th 2022, has handed over the confirmed amended indictment to Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi, which consists of ten points of charges, where the latter are charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
