The number two of the Special Prosecution, Valdet Gashi, has said that a dangerous precedent would be set if the Prosecution went to the Prime Minister's Office to question Albin Kurti as a witness in the state reserves case, after Kurti refused to go to the Prosecution. He said that this is not a legal possibility.
"No, because it is not a legal possibility in the first place and such precedents cannot be created because they are very dangerous for the investigation process," he said in an interview for the "60 Minutes" show on KTV.
Gashi said that the Special Prosecution Office has used all legal possibilities, regarding the invitations for Kurti. He said that the Prosecution Office invited Kurti, considering it necessary and in the interest of the case for his testimony. After the refusal, he said that the court requested that Kurti be forced to appear, but this still did not happen.
"Despite this, when filing the indictment, we proposed that he be heard as a witness because the Criminal Procedure Code allows us to do so. We very much hope that he will appear in court when he receives the court's invitation to testify at the trial. At the moment we have filed the indictment, the entire judicial process is managed by the court. Both the witnesses and the defendants. Their failure to appear has legal consequences that the court decides. We have used all legal possibilities as provided by the law. But we are where we are today in relation to this witness ," he said.
We recall that the Special Prosecution has filed an indictment against the Minister of Industry, Rozeta Hajdari, two officials from her Ministry and another person, on suspicion of abuse of office and causing damage of 3 million euros "by purchasing oil and wheat that never reached Kosovo."
