Veliaj/Këlliçi's messages and pressures: His problem is July

The political leader of the Democratic Party of Albania in Tirana, Belind Këlliçi, has spoken about the blackmail and intimidation being inflicted on justice by the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj.

According to Këlliç, all of his messages or attacks come on the eve of the hearing to be held by the Supreme Court on July 8.

He emphasizes that Veliaj's last hope is to be released by the High Court, meaning that his security measure of imprisonment will be reduced, while on the other hand we have 12 charges for 4 serious criminal offenses.

"All of these are forms of pressure and blackmail against their own people," Këlliçi emphasized.

"It's clear. His last messages, until before the Supreme Court date and from the intercepts that have been published in the media. And all the political rumors, Carlo Bolino and Arbri the Great were spoken in a place that should be Mazniku."

Yes, this is also very important, let's not forget it. Basically, his problem is July 8th, as far as I understand, because I saw yesterday that the Supreme Court has decided. And his last hope is to be released by the Supreme Court. So when we say to be released, it is to soften the measure and go so that he has the opportunity to go out to the cells.

All of these are forms of pressure and blackmail against their own people. So there is no connection with other people, against their own people, to release him. Don't forget that he is the only official who on February 12 of this year, 2 days after he was arrested, organized a violent protest in front of SPAK where SPAK prosecutors and GJKKO judges were lynched, insulted, and cursed with books. Where in an unprecedented case, cars were obstructed, movement was obstructed. They addressed an official letter to the State Police, GJKKO and SPAK and received no response.

Neither the Garda nor anyone else showed up. And this was one of the statements that is circulating about a direct intervention in the intimidation and blackmail of justice. So this individual is making all these moves within the framework of the latest decision-making, which is the Supreme Court. Where logic would have it that with the criminal facts, with the already proven corruption and with the wiretaps that have been made in the cell, where he is blackmailing, "he said./ CNA
