Hearing for Veliaj, lawyer: BKH experts have found traces of criminal acts on

Lawyer Genci Gjokutaj commented on the marathon hearing held today on the appeal of the GJKKO against Mayor Erion Veliaj.

Speaking on Syri TV, he said that the new evidence that SPAK may have presented at today's session is his cell phone, as according to him, BKH experts have had a month to conduct its examination.

He adds that from there they may have found traces of the criminal offenses for which the mayor of Tirana is accused.

Gjokutaj : This is an appeal hearing, against the first instance decision and he has probably become comfortable during the day. Veliaj deals with secondary circumstances, conditions and criteria. He says that he is not dangerous, he says that he does not destroy evidence and does not leave, but he does not say a word about the criminal fact and the reasonable suspicion that is the cornerstone of a security measure and then derives with a request from which he claims innocence, a non-existent innocence. He converts to a milder measure, which in a way speaks of a penalty.

Now, what happened, how could Erion Veliaj destroy evidence? Papers were burned on the terrace of the municipality and entire documents were transported, and it is not known where they went.

Erion Veliaj, in terms of the prison regime, is an unprecedented case where he communicates 24/7, as if he were in the office, while you remember other cases where meetings with certain people were discussed.

The investigation against Erion Veliaj did not begin at the moment of arrest. It lasted for a relatively long time, but what constitutes a novelty and which I think should have been administered today is the telephone. The telephone which is only taken at the moment of arrest.

Because in the First Instance, there is no time to examine and expertize the phone. I think that the time period of the appeal has given the BKH experts time to examine the phone. I think they have found traces of criminal acts there, circumstances and facts that are related to the plot of this case.
