The lawyer Kreshnik Spahiu called the request of the Greek foreign ministry, that Fredi Beleri be allowed to take the oath as mayor of Himara, unjust and unsupported.
In an interview for "Euronews Albania", he said that indeed Beleri is considered innocent until a final decision is given, but he could not go to take the oath in the municipality's office, as the security measure has been assigned to him. imprisonment.
He said that Beleri is not the only one arrested, as the former mayor Gjici is already in prison, as well as the one from Bulqiza. He said that the law is equal for the mayor of Kukës, Durrës, Bulqiza, and Himara.
"Today we had the reaction of the Foreign Ministry of Greece, which demanded that the Albanian courts allow Fredi Beleri to take the oath and take the mandate as mayor.
I think that the pressure of Athens is unfair and unsupported in the criminal precedents and in the Albanian legislation. The Greek government claims that Fredi Beleri should take office as mayor pending a final decision on whether he is guilty or innocent.
The question I have is Safet Gjici, who was removed from the mayor's office, for a sexual affair in the office, has he been convicted with a final sentence, or is it a precautionary measure? Both he and Beleri are under arrest and have not been sentenced by a final decision.
The same standard that the court held for Safet Gjicin, the same is held for Fredi Beleri, both are innocent until they are declared guilty by court decision, but both are not investigated in a free state, but in the measure of security arrest, due to the dangerousness of the criminal offense ", said the lawyer Kreshnik Spahiu.
