"The trial for the Partizani file is unclear"/ Gjokutaj: There is

Lawyer Genci Gjokutaj commented this Monday on the latest developments regarding the "Partizani" case trial.

Invited to Syri TV, Gjokutaj stated that the trial against Berisha and Malltez is dragging on and the handling of the case remains unclear.

Gjokutaj stated that the judge chosen by lot to judge the case has resigned from this case, which has remained pending for three weeks without a decision from the court president.

Gjokutaj also mentions the conflict of interest of judge Eugert Pëllumbi and the request for his disqualification, emphasizing that these developments jeopardize the integrity and justice of the process.

Genci Gjokutaj: You know that on June 2nd, the GJKKO drew lots in relation to this proceeding after the preliminary judge sent the case to court after 7 months and a week after the elections. This judging panel, Mr. Jamambër Malltezi, has made a request for the security measure that Malltezi not only deserves, he has requested it without ceasing because, like Mr. Berisha and Malltezi in that process, all of them have no criminal record, and are no longer subject to security measures.

We have said this, we say it and we will say it. And in that session of the review of the security measure of Mr. Jamambër Malltezi that has not yet ended, the judge declared her resignation from this case. It has been three weeks since this resignation was neither approved nor rejected by the president of the court. We have requested the exclusion of judge Eugert Pëllumbi, as the nephew of Mr. Himçi, who has been in direct conflict with Mr. Berisha. So, one more reason was, because the cases of exclusion are determined by law and the affiliation of a cousin with a person, an uncle in this case, who has been in direct conflict, has a real conflict and has not been considered as such.

From a legal point of view, a waiver has a much greater specific weight than a request for exclusion made by the parties. Practically, one of the lawyers can make a request for exclusion, but the waiver is not tactical. The waiver is the trial that the judge makes on himself, makes him incapable – not from a professional point of view – of judging this case and makes this pretext.
