The Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime has started pressuring journalists for the images that appeared in the media today of Monika Kryemadhi and Ilir Meta in the courtroom. At the moment when Kryemadhi was entering the hall, it was possible to film, as Meta was seen in the glass cage in the background. But this has alarmed the court, which seems to be annoyed that Meta appeared in the media under those conditions.
