Lawyer Eugen Beci, commenting on the prison arrest measure for former president Ilir Meta, said that if he was a prosecutor he would have given some other measures instead of imprisonment.
Invited to the show "The Unexposed", Beci said that if he were in the place of the prosecutor of the case, he would leave him under house arrest, forced to appear, released against a financial guarantee, banned from leaving the country.
" Meta has always been under investigation and the notification of charges and the recognition of reasonable suspicion to take a person under investigation is enough with what he says. Regarding the appointment of security measures, I have said it, and not for Meta and not for everyone. The arrest in prison is an extraordinary measure by SPAK.
There are criminal procedures related to the dangerousness of the person, the possibility of the person influencing to spoil the evidence by taking them in turn, the dangerousness of the person to leave decreases, because this is a person who has appeared several times in the Prosecutor's Office Specially, it has not been avoided.
The possibility of spoiling the evidence falls, because we have the first report in 2019 and until today they have been consolidated and crystallized. The possibility of committing another criminal offense is a zero possibility, and this is because he is no longer in the duties he had when he committed the alleged criminal offenses and for all these elements, the arrest in prison is excessive and is an extreme measure.
Many times we have seen that the special prosecutor gives up on security measures. It belongs to security measures. The investigation is one thing, the fact that the former president of the Republic is under investigation is another. I think that it would have been shown to be more reserved and with another milder measure that would suit the criminal fact and the dangerousness of the person.
I would, for example, leave him under house arrest, forced to appear, released on bail, prohibited from leaving the country. Fortunately, our Code of Criminal Procedure has many other measures, both coercive and prohibitive, but the prosecutors, not only the Special Prosecutor's Office, but the whole of Albania, are left with the arrow of arrest in prison and they don't change it from there ," Beçi said. .
