New details are learned about the court session being held against the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, in the Appeal of the GJKKO. In the court session being held in the Appeal of the GJKKO, Erion Veliaj has opposed the new evidence presented by SPAK, emphasizing that they do not constitute new legal elements. He requested an open-door session.
According to sources, Veliaj has stated that the wiretaps of his family conversations, which were used as evidence, are related to his interviews in the media and his interest in interviews on important television channels. He has also criticized the fact that SPAK has not taken into account Sali Berisha’s public attacks on the new justice system as new evidence, focusing only on his personal phone calls and messages with his family.
“You isolated me for 1 month in prison to find ‘new evidence’. Saliu insulted SPAK and accused it of being a criminal organization, what did he find? Why were Berisha’s attacks on SPAK not considered new evidence?”, said Veliaj. Veliaj also stated in court that he is still the mayor of Tirana, voted for by a quarter of a million people. “I stand by every post made on social networks,” he said.
