The Basic Court in Pristina has sentenced Driton Gashi, former head of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency, to four years and eight months in prison for the case known as the "Gülenists".
Valon Krasniqi, former director of the Department for Citizenship, Asylum and Migration in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Rrahman Sylejmani, former director of the Directorate for Migration and Foreigners within the Border Police, have been acquitted, reports "Oath for Justice".
Against the former head of the KIA, Driton Gashi, the Court has also imposed an additional punishment, the prohibition of exercising functions in the public administration for a period of 4 years after serving the prison sentence.
Meanwhile, the accused Valon Ramadani and Rrahman Sylejmani have been acquitted since it has not been proven that they have committed the criminal offenses they are charged with.
According to the indictment filed by the Special Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Kosovo on February 24, 2021, Gashi, in the period March 23, 2019 - March 29, 2018, is accused of having deported six citizens of Turkey who had residence permits and the right to work in Kosovo as an official.
According to the indictment, Gashi abused his official position by not fulfilling his duties according to his competence by recommending the revocation of residence permits and the non-granting of a permit for one of the victims, "for the reason that they might pose a risk to national security, a fact that has not been proven at all in procedure implemented on the basis of the law".
The prosecution claimed that Gashi did not notify the president or the prime minister about this procedure, as required by the Law on the KIA, nor the chief prosecutor of the State, exceeding his powers.
The scandal of the deportation of six Turkish citizens from Kosovo to Turkey in 2018, had provoked international reactions, where Kosovo was also criticized for violating human rights.
Six Turkish nationals have been convicted as part of Fethullah Gulen's political movement and are currently all in Turkish prisons. Cihan Ozkan, Kahraman Demirez and Osman Karakaya were sentenced to 7 and a half years each.
Hasan Huseyin Guka, who was wrongly deported, was sentenced to 8 years and six months. With 10 years Yusuf Karabina. While Mustafa Erdem holds the biggest sentence, 15 years in prison.
While Turkey considers Gülen's movement as terrorist, the families of those convicted say that their rights have been violated, as in the case of deportation to Kosovo, and that they were convicted in Turkey without evidence.
