Veliaj's trial, in the hands of lawyers

SPAK informed Mayor Erion Veliaj that he has been officially indicted and faces 13 charges for very serious criminal offenses . He faces a minimum of 7-15 years in prison. In fact, there have been several positions taken by his legal defense attorneys.

First, it was said that information had leaked to the media and they were made aware that Erion Veliaj would be charged, only by the media . The truth is quite different.

Official sources from the General Directorate of Prisons told CNA that on Monday SPAK requested that Erion Veliaj be transported from the premises where he is detained at SPAK, to be notified by the prosecutors of the case regarding the completion of the investigations. It is learned that Erion Veliaj refused . It was the investigators who later appeared at the Durrës prison, informing Veliaj of the completion of the investigations and the accusation.

So, up to this point, procedurally everything is closed, within 6 months , according to the deadlines provided by the law. Erion Veliaj's investigations were closed, 13 charges have been filed against him, there are other files and factions. There are also about 30 other people, entities, businessmen, who are involved in this investigation.

Now, we will see Erion Veliaj in court when the lawyers decide.

There is no extension of the deadline on September 24th.

In fact, it should be noted that SPAK has closed the investigations and period. Taking the defendant and communicating the accusation closes the investigations. There are no further investigations. There may be other files and issues, but for Erion Veliaj and the 13 accusations that have been made so far, everything is closed and must go to court. But the law provides that lawyers are given 10 days to present their requests and then, based on these requests that they may or may not have, according to a 30-day deadline, depending on everything they request, they go to court no later than September 24.

The case now depends on the law firm of Arben Rakipi's wife, who sued Erion Veliaj in the Administrative Court and added the charge of abuse of office.

So, Erion Veliaj now, to appear in court and be heard or have his court case developed, must wait for what the lawyers will decide. Everything can happen within a 10-day period and the requests can be very few in a much faster time and Erion Veliaj can go to trial. Or in case there are many requests, voluminous documents, etc. there is a 30-day period and then Mayor Veliaj is taken to court .

For all the media outlets that report that the investigations have been postponed for two months, this is a lie, a deception. We are simply dealing with a procedural deadline, the time that lawyers have to make requests and, depending on their requests, the 30-day deadline for their fulfillment, based on what they themselves request.

Therefore, it should be clear to everyone, to readers, to the media, to journalists, that the investigations into Erion Veliaj have been closed . It is enough for someone to read a little more to understand that there is no postponement of the investigations into Erion Veliaj, but simply and only now the trial will begin as soon as possible or as late as his defense lawyers decide based on the requests they make./ CNA
