The mystery of a million lawyers say they had no proof of their clients

A van with a modified bunker inside with 1m euros before being placed in plastic bags, three suspected persons arrested one of them State Police official in Albania -- a request for which a court says there is a lack to prove the allegations -- raised many questions whether the case was neglected at the outset.

Kosovo Customs in 24.02.2026 during a raid revealed 1m euros in Merdara. Three suspected persons were arrested, one of them a police official in Albania. After 48 hours they were released in regular procedure to be investigated in freedom after the Pristina Constitutional Court praised that the Special Prosecutor Berisha had failed to prove that the three suspects arrested had links to the event.

On Call Pernime, there were two lawyers on the panel, Betim Shala a lawyer for Albania's police, Aureel Kaziut and Fitim Bunjaku lawyer for Edmir Ahmadojkaj, and this citizen of Albania.

Shala said she had made opposition to the appointment of the detention measure, which prosecutor Shenaj Berisha had requested.

The court's decision didn't surprise me as a defense we didn't have any evidence and we didn't know if those evidence existed. And it has not been possible for the prosecution to prove a valid suspicion, so for us professionals there are no surprise”- says attorney Shala, until it adds that his client at the session which was held for the security measure was described as a fellow worker but not his specific role.

That's what you're talking about. So he only as a congregator in vehicle”- added lawyer Shala away.

Contract lawyer Bulnjak says the hearing was equipped with the prosecution's request.

“netically, a special department request called on in the ground-based doubt, to argue the suspicion that my client has committed, has been a surprise. My client was just a driver, he wasn't even aware. Even though he didn't know the police official” -- explains Edmir Ahmadojkay.

Bulnjaku says the decision by the Pristina Foundation Court that set three suspects free and without measure of security was based on what the prosecution sent for the case.

In addition to the truck's drivers, lawyers explain that the car was not the other suspect's.

KALLXO editor-in-chief. com Kreshnik Gashi criticised the spaces that were set free to investigate the 1 million-strong case as it began.

The plane's <x0m-euro criminal structure that circulates 1m euros on Kosovo's territory has come to lay hands so deep on our judicial system and our tracking system that people have been released prematurely, without even the initial investigative process being completed. So, one of the organized crime has a lot of role in this destruction of all the evidence. Even as a result today, one of the biggest cases has failed on his first day”- Gashi said.

According to Gashi, the first impasses are linked since the site's survey.

“There has been no call for police forensics, the second is rapid and emergency communication with the Republic of Albania. I still don't know if the authorities in Albania have made a raid on the homes of these people”- Gashi said away.

On the other hand, lawyers Shala and Bunnjak both said they have not received any information from their clients that there have been any raids by police authorities on their properties.

According to KALLXO.com editor-in-chief, in this case it is not seen that the inclusion and co-ordination of institutions, police, customs, prosecutors have developed in the best way.

From what I know, the police have been invited perhaps a late day. If it's not an impact of organised crime, it's a total irresponsability to the case. So far no one has been accountable should then a disciplinary investigation”- Gashi concludes.

Lawyer Ardian Bajraktari, who has also been part of the group that drafted the Criminal Procedure Code, says the code has reached standards but does not have sufficient implementation.

The main bar of responsibility for this case's eventual failure is the prosecution. When we look with particular emphasis on the request for the detention measure in not a few cases, they are masqueraded in a stereotype, so the court then has no clear to place”- says Bajraktari.

Three Albanian citizens, arrested in the case of sequenting about 1m euros at the border checkpoint in Merdara, are currently in Albania, after the Pristina Court had rejected the prosecution's request for the appointment of a measure of detention against them.

It's about Albanian Police member Aurel Kaziu, as well as two other people -- Ardit Laska and Edmir Ahmadukaj -- who are suspected of a sum of money about 1m euros, which Kosovo Police and Customs found hidden in a hidden part of a van coming from Germany to Kosovo and heading for Albania. /Periscope
