Details have emerged from the debates in the session taking place at the Administrative Court, where the lawsuit filed by the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, against the Special Prosecutor, Ols Dado, is being reviewed. In his lawsuit, Veliaj seeks to declare the decree appointing Ols Dado as prosecutor invalid.

The representative of the presidency stated in court that the then president exercised his constitutional rights. Among other things, the representative of the presidency left the matter to the court's assessment.

"Bamir Topi exercised his constitutional rights. We have a proposal from the Prosecutor General, an accompanying letter and then the Presidency issues a decree. We are not clear whether this is a complete practice. Are there any acts that the Prosecutor General's Office may have there that we do not have. We do not know how this act was reached. We leave this issue to your assessment. The President does not deal with the process of evaluating the criteria. From the Presidency archive it appears that we only have the proposal from the Prosecutor General's Office and an accompanying letter ," said the representative of the Presidency.

Meanwhile, in response to this, Veliaj continued with his offensive language, referring to the prosecutor with the words "Babatas and Aqif Kapertoni's donkey."

At this point, the court intervened, drawing attention to the use of inappropriate and offensive terms.

Veliaj's insults, slander, and derogatory language towards Dado have been going on since he was handcuffed in his office for 13 charges for 5 criminal offenses committed by him. /CNA
