Supreme Court Releases Three Suspects in One Millions Case

By deciding on complaints against the Kosovo Appeals Court's decision, PN.1. S.n.68/2026 of March 18, 2026, at the college session held on March 30, 2026, the Supreme Court has decided to approve the complaints of defendants' defenders, cancel the Apelni Court's decision and return the case to re-establishment, to the same court.

The Foundation Court in Pristina, the Special Department, with the verdict of March 9th, 2026, had rejected the Special Prosecutor's request for the detention assignment of the defendants.

Meanwhile, the Kosovo Court of Appeals, on March 18, 2026, had approved the prosecution's complaint and had changed that decision by assigning the defendants the 30-day detention measure.

Against that decision, defenders of the defendants filed complaints, opposing the legality and fundamentality of the detention.

The Supreme Court estimated that complaints are based and found that the Court of Appeals' act contains essential violations of criminal procedure provisions.

According to the Supreme Court's assessment, the second degree has not made clear connections between the evidence and the actions of the defendants.

The Supreme Court stresses that existing suspicion is the fundamental condition of the detention assignment, in line with the practice of the European Court of Human Rights.
