A month's home arrest of CEC member for annihilation of voting documents

According to the media communiqué, it becomes known that the defendant does not dare leave the settlement without the permission of the Court, and is forbidden to contact those with whom he does not live or who are dependent on him.

“If the defendant violates the house arrest measure, the same detention measures” will be appointed, the statement said.

The court in case of house arrest, against the defendants, has estimated there are legal reasons for the appointment, and from the evidence collected until this stage, is well-founded:

"With June 07th, the defendant in the quality of the CEC member, in misuse of his duty, position and authorisations regarding elections at the polling centre at the “school Sharri” in Jabllanica A.D. in order to prevent the normal continuation of the elections, and prevent free expression of the will of citizens, defendant A.D., takes and hides six (6) empty ballot papers by making the tear-offs from the ballot block, which he hides, misusing duties, positions and authorizations regarding the” elections.

Will these facts be argued, however, in the further stages of criminal procedure.

The trial of the preliminary procedure has praised the State Prosecutor's request for the appointment of the detention measure, and the parties' claims during the hearing hearing, as well as material paperwork and evidence, have found that the requirement for determining the detention measure is unfounded.

The trial of the preliminary procedure is of the opinion that even with the measure of house arrest, it will be managed to ensure the defendant's presence in preliminary procedure, and the procedure can be carried out without hindrances even with the measure of house arrest.

“Taking on all concrete facts and circumstances, the Court appreciates the extent of the detention as grave, on the other hand with the measure of house arrest, will ensure the unhindered development of the investigative procedure, since even with this measure the freedom of movement and circulation of the defendant will be limited, and the only contact the same may have is with family members and who live. Moreover, if the defendant does not respect the house arrest measure, then the Court will replace the measure with the detention measure”, it is announced in the statement.

The measure will be monitored by the Prizren Police Station, which even without the tribunal's request at any time can verify the implementation of house arrest measures and report the Court on any possible violation of the move. /Periscope
