"Do you have proof that Rama is politically persecuting Veliaj?" -

Erion Veliaj's lawyer, Plarent Ndreca, was invited to the show "The Unexposed" on Vizion Plus, where he spoke about his client's claims that he is being politically persecuted by Edi Rama. 

Ylli Rakipi and Andi Bushati asked the lawyer what the evidence is and how Veliaj reached this conclusion about his former "mentor". 

The lawyer listed several actions, which he described as "cumulative" and which lead to the conclusion that there is a hidden intention towards Veliaj to neutralize him politically. 

Ylli Rakipi: You are among the few people who have met Veliaj. How is his condition, what have you seen? 

Plarent Ndreca: It is not a normal situation, also in terms of health status, there is a health problem, which unfortunately has been going on for a week and we are neither being treated nor informed about the real situation. 

I tried to get a copy of the MRI and CT scan he had, but I was not given it, only an interpretation by the prison doctor. It is an unclear and worrying situation, we do not know the situation he is in. It is a worrying and meaningless situation. I only received information today. From a psychological and mental point of view, he is calm, clear, and composed about what happened and what he intends to do. This is the situation, the only concern is his health situation. There is a serious problem with the legality of the transfer. 

Ylli Rakipi : Erion Veliaj claims that since the moment of his transfer to Fier prison, his rights have been violated and the conductor of this behavior towards him is Edi Rama. Can you summarize for the viewers how Veliaj has reached this conclusion, that Rama is persecuting him, whom until yesterday he considered his "mentor". 

Plarent Ndreca: The situation is cumulative and dynamic and the conclusion is dynamic. From when a mayor is prosecuted based on an anonymous complaint, the extension of detention, ping-pong in the courts, until the Supreme Court does not implement the reasoning of the Supreme Court, the fact that complaints for procedural violations, complaints for invalidity of evidence, take 8 months, when the Supreme Court itself had stated that it would have priority and culminating in the unnecessary and unsubstantiated transfer, and the final act of the departure of the Minister of Justice, the threats made in the name of the Prime Minister, create the conclusion that there are hidden or open political intentions to neutralize him politically. 

Andi Bushati: Only the last one, because the others don't seem to be Rama? We can't say. To reach only the last episode, to the conclusion that Rama is...

Plarent Ndreca : It is difficult to prove political intentions directly, even Strasbourg says that there must be indications of political reasons, in order to be considered political persecution. Interventions in the Municipality of Tirana, which in one way or another also affect the criminal process, because when you artificially remove an innocent official from office, it is considered political intervention. Then the intervention for dismissals in the Municipality, without the approval of the mayor. The fact that the delegated deputy mayor had strong detachments from the will of the mayor, cumulatively shows an intention to politically neutralize Mr. Veliaj. 

Andi Bushati: So you could say Rama intervened. He has two ways to intervene, the first is as the leader of the SP who has the municipality, he can intervene politically and request dismissal. 

Plarent Ndreca : The GJK said it's not allowed. 

Andi Bushati: It is one thing politically to want to exercise the will of the party and another to intervene in SPAK and GJKKO, GJL or GJK. Here, I am playing devil's advocate, because I also believe that Rama has intervened. 

Plarent Ndreca: Strasbourg has also developed the provability of political interference, there is enough evidence for interference in a position or the presumption of someone's innocence, when you intervene in a process where the court has not intervened with dismissal and you help the court or the conclusion of the court or the prosecution, stripping it of its institutional position... Third-party interventions, whether by the prime minister or the media, even by providing information that creates the perception that guilt has been established, interfere with the presumption of innocence. You mean it is not proven directly, we definitely do not have evidence that Mr. Rama has called someone, but the defense in Strasbourg uses these arguments to consider that it is not only a legal issue, but also a political one. The strongest evidence was the recent actions.
