"Did you move the strings to imprison Salianji", Xhafaj: I waited 6

Socialist Party MP and former Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj has spoken publicly for the first time after 6 years about the "Babalja" file, where his brother was rumored and the case for which the PD MP was sentenced to 1 year in prison Ervin Salianji.

In an interview for the show Opinion on TV Klan, Fatmir Xhafaj was asked that "Were you influential, or the person who moved the strings to take Salianj to prison?". 

Xhafaj did not answer this question directly, but said that he waited 6 years for the truth about the case to be revealed, adding that he was waiting for justice to do its job.

According to Xhafaj, Salianji was convicted because he intentionally created false evidence to initiate a criminal process against his brother with the aim of hitting him as a politician and as the interior minister of that time.

Fatmir Xhafaj : This is the first time I speak after 6 years on a TV show about this. Truth has been important in this process. I waited 6 years for the truth to be revealed according to justice, I waited for both levels of judgment for justice to do its job.

I would not like to see a politician in prison for a false report. What has happened is very serious, even more than the punishment in itself of a person for the effect of the human drama, but also for the effect it has on politics and society. There are no 2 standards of justice. This is a good example that showed that when you create false evidence, you have to answer for false accusation.

I haven't heard about this story in 6 years. I have a moral right on behalf of all those who have been slandered. They were killed and re-killed for false facts. This is also an example that justice must be applied. There are plenty of them that have been prosecuted to my knowledge. This should be the only way to solve things in society.

Ervin Salianji was not punished because he said publicly that my brother had a criminal sentence, nor because he said that he was not serving this sentence at the time. He was convicted of deliberately creating false evidence to initiate a criminal trial against my brother with the intention of hitting me as a politician and as the interior minister at the time.
