The Special Court rejected the requests of the lawyers defending the interests of the defendants in the "Partizani" case for the absolute invalidity of the SPAK investigative acts.
The rulings are based on preliminary investigations by Judge Irena Gjoka, who was accused by former Prime Minister Sali Berisha of concealing a criminal record in Greece. According to the court, the requests are unfounded in law and evidence.
"All claims for security measures have been subject to judicial review up to the Constitutional Court, the request for absolute invalidity is dismissed," said the GJKKO. Meanwhile, as for claims for unlicensed experts or in conflict of interest, the court finds that they are not included in the cases where they lead to invalidity.
After the motions were dismissed, special prosecutor Enkeleda Millonai read the motion for trial for the defendants and the respective charges.
The main defendant in the process is former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, who is charged with corruption committed in collaboration, his son-in-law Jamarbër Malltezi, who is charged with corruption and money laundering, as well as several of their associates.
The defendants' lawyers, after SPAK's request for trial was read, asked for time and at the next session on November 25, the parties will present their submissions on the evidence.
