The murder of Eglantin, the court of Korça: the charge of manslaughter was raised by the prosecution
The Court of First Instance of the General Jurisdiction of Korçë, based on the importance of the event and being triggered by the publications in the written and visual media, as well as by the news published on social networks and various portals about the event that took place in the city of Pogradec, in which the citizen Eglantin Proga lost his life, reports the following:
On August 12, 2024, at 3:30 p.m., the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of Korçë General Jurisdiction submitted to this court a request for the validation of the arrest in flagrante delicto and the determination of the measure of personal security "arrest in prison" against the citizen D. M, as a suspect for committing the criminal offense "Manslaughter", provided by article 85 of the Criminal Code and the validation of the arrest in flagrante delicto and the setting of the measure of personal security "Compulsion to appear before the judicial police" against citizens V. Sh., A. M. and LG as suspects for the criminal offense "Criminal failure", provided for by 300 of the Criminal Code.
After evaluating the request of the prosecution and the content of the acts of investigative actions carried out up to this stage of the investigation, the court decided to accept the request, evaluating it as based on the law and the evidence.
The Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction Korçë underlines that at this stage of the criminal process, in the review of requests for the appointment of personal security measures, the judge of preliminary investigations cannot change the legal definition of the criminal offense for which the proceedings are being carried out the person under investigation, nor to assign a security measure heavier than the one requested.
The complete and correct determination of the circumstances of the fact and the criminal responsibility of each person involved, is up to the continuation of the investigations. At the end of the investigations, it is the judge of the preliminary session who evaluates their completeness and the legal definition of the criminal offense.
For this reason, the drawing of conclusions at this initial stage of the investigations does not serve their continuation nor the trust of the public opinion on the work of the bodies of the justice system.
On the other hand, the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction Korçë notes with concern some articles published in the media, which aim or attempt to denigrate the figure of the judge of the case, reemphasizing the application of the law with maximum correctness and accuracy in every case .
