Today, the trial against the former Minister of Defense, Fatmir Mediu, for the Gërdec tragedy is underway. SPAK requested to question 71 witnesses, while earlier Mediu requested 90.
Among the witnesses who will be questioned are the son of Sali Berisha, Shkëlzen Berisha, as well as the former Minister of Justice, Aldo Bumçi.
We remind you that earlier this month, GJKKO decided to approve the request of former minister Mediu for the continuation of the process with ordinary procedure, waiving the abbreviated trial.
The event that connects Aldo Bumçi with Shkëlzen Berisha, is a fax containing the content of the letter of approval from the Ministry of Justice for the contract to be concluded in Gërdec, a copy of which was privately sent to Shkëlzen Berisha from Aldo Bumçi's office. This is the evidence that shows who was interested in that business.
The testimony is supported by the former secretary of Aldo Bumçi given to the prosecutors, who admits that Shkëlzeni went to the office and then Aldo forwarded the order to Shkëlzeni's private office within the Ministry of Defense. The fax was seized by the Prosecutor's Office in the materials found after the tragedy at the Ministry of Defense.
