The Mandates Council cleared the way for SPAK to arrest former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, but what happens next? The prosecutors will decide between "prison arrest" and "house arrest" for Berisha, but according to the law, it is forbidden to tighten the security measure and prison arrest for people who are over 70 years old.
Sali Berisha has crossed this limit, he is 79 years old. But, journalist Anila Hoxha, in a live link from the Special Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office for the show "Top Story" explained that the second point of Article 230 of the Criminal Procedure Code has an option, which goes beyond what prosecutors can do ask for
Prosecutors can also ask for prison terms, because as this code provides, coercive measures can be requested by prosecutors and given by the court even for people over 70 years old, when this person has been convicted or is being investigated for criminal offenses that have up to 10 years of imprisonment, Hoxha reasoned.
Berisha is accused of the crime of passive corruption of high officials in cooperation with his son-in-law, Jamarbër Malltezi, an offense punishable by 4 to 12 years of imprisonment according to the criminal code. Because the law has left both possibilities, the former prime minister is between two fires. Everything will be left to the prosecutors.
When the ban is imposed, Berisha will no longer have the opportunity to communicate with citizens even through social networks. Any citizen who is placed under house arrest has certain restrictions. He must communicate only with members of his family, he cannot leave the apartment and is controlled by the local police, who are notified of the address where this measure is executed, explained the journalist.
