Today, the preliminary hearing for Fatmir Mediu is expected to take place at 14:30. The former Minister of Defense, Fatmir Mediu, is accused of abuse of duty and abuse of office under the military code.
The prosecution asks the court to continue the trial. The last session was postponed after the families of the victims of Gërdec requested to be present in court.
The court has taken the decision of the prosecutor Klodian Braho, while the latter asked for a postponement, while today it is expected that their participation in the session will be legitimized.
After that, the court is expected to decide whether to proceed to trial or not this case. We remind you that Mediu was not present at the last session, he preferred to be defended by two lawyers. Even today it is predicted that Mediu will not be present.
The families of the victims want to be present and be protected by their lawyer.
In addition to completing the investigations for Mediu, the prosecutor’s office has divided this file by registering another criminal proceeding regarding the corruption of high officials and money laundering, for which it has carried out investigative actions, where it has also summoned Shkëlzen Berisha and Aldo Bumçi.
We are waiting today if the court will accept the request of the prosecutor’s office and then we will have a trial for the two aforementioned charges, ABC News journalist Ermal Vija said.
