"Strong debates in the Supreme Court"/ Klodiana Lala reveals the behind-the-scenes of the decision for Veliaj

Journalist Klodiana Lala, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, has provided details of the Supreme Court's decision to keep Erion Veliaj in prison. 

Lala said that there were debates during the decision-making process in the advisory chamber, but added that the decision was still "3-0" to keep Veliaj in prison. 

"The Supreme Court (SC) was set in motion by a recourse filed by Veliaj. 

Mr. Veliaj was aiming to return to office as mayor. His arguments were, he claimed that he was elected and as such could not be held in prison, he considered the measure arbitrary since it does not destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses, or to leave since the goal is to return to office as mayor.

SPAK was caught on several counts, related to the criminal offense and the sentencing range, of which Veliaj is suspected, such as corruption, money laundering and concealment of assets. Secondly, there are suspicions that Veliaj may intimidate witnesses and destroy evidence, with prosecutors alleging that Veliaj has directed attacks on prosecutors and the judge.

Investigations into assets suspected to belong to Veliaj are also ongoing. According to them, Veliaj's release will affect the collection of evidence.

The High Court did not provide a justification, because it takes time. Meanwhile, during the two hours in the consultation room, there were debates regarding the fact that Veliaj is on duty, there were strong debates among the criminal panel, but it was decided to leave the security measure in force.

"Veliaj has two options, he will go to the Constitutional Court, but on June 17, the first instance court, after due diligence, rejected Veliaj's request for a change of measure, so he has the option to appeal this as well and repeat the requests for a replacement measure," said Lala.
