Invited to 'Euronews Albania', Hoxha said that now that the legal process is taking place in the state of Brazil, the case will not be so easy for Mata.

According to Hoxha, Brazilian authorities have paid attention to this case, rejecting the request for Ervin Mata's release, in order to prevent him from being granted a more lenient security measure, which would enable him to escape from that country.

"There is one thing in Brazil, and justice in Brazil, not that there is no justice, but it is a little expensive. So, something that you can't buy with money, you can buy with a lot of money. Anyway, this is a decision, a test that Mata's defense has made there to test the system. The system has resisted, it has not accepted the elements that they have requested. So, to give him at least a milder measure. This is the first goal and then you have the opportunity to escape and go somewhere else, because he knows what awaits him in Europe. So the Brazilian authorities certainly paid attention to him and of course this creates problems for him", - said Hoxha. /CNA
