Attorney Rezart Kthupi spoke about the proposed changes to the new Criminal Code. He said the proposed changes leave much to be desired in all possible directions.
Kthupi also stated that penalties have been provided for matters that normally do not constitute a criminal offense, penalties that fall within the realm of civil and administrative law, and everything has been turned into a prison sentence.
"The proposed changes leave much to be desired in all possible directions. The problem here is not with the penalties themselves, but with the logic that the Code follows, which is that everything is punished."
Punishments have been provided for matters that normally do not constitute a criminal offense, penalties have been provided that fall within the realm of civil and administrative law, and everything has been turned into a prison sentence.
The impression the draft Code gives you on its first reading is that we have a criminalized society and that everything is punishable by prison and that all people will go to prison.
At one time we were not a country with serious criminal offenses, we were generally a peaceful country where we had some minor criminal offenses that could be regulated.
But what the Code does is that everything is punished, you as a lawyer issue an invoice of a very large value and you are punished, you try to make a comment about the way the court operates, you are directly punished; You don't go to have the car inspected and you are punished again.
"And this is extreme criminalization. Issues that can be resolved quite well in the field of civil law, which means that the issue is resolved by agreement between the parties or by judgments that do not belong to the criminal court, they cannot be part of the Criminal Code. This is nonsense, where everything is criminalized ," Kthupi told "Ora News."
