The witnesses Jorgo Mino, a soldier, and Ndue Marku, a lawyer, who were called as witnesses, refused to testify. They exercised their right not to testify as co-defendants. Mino and Marku were defendants in the first trial of the "Gërdeci" file. Meanwhile, the next session was left on January 10, at 9:00.
We remind you that, today, former ministers Fatmir Mediu and Shkëlzen Berisha were called to testify in connection with this file. Mediu himself spoke after Wednesday's session in court where he emphasized that Shkëlzen Berisha has nothing to do with him in this reopened process. He said that this is an entirely media game.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Court Against Organized Crime, where the hearing on the Gërdeci case took place, Shkëlzen Berisha answered the journalists' questions about the mention of his name for 15 years in a row, as being involved in this tragedy.
The son of the former prime minister of that time, insisted that the issue has been politicized, and this has not helped in clarifying it. Further, the son of the former prime minister, with a comprehensive answer, also explained his connections with former ministers Mediu, Bumçi and businessman Delijorgji and his relations with them.
Shkëlzen Berisha insists that he is a friend of the former ministers in question and the phone calls he had with Mediu after the explosion in Gërdec were about personal matters, while Delijorgjin explains that he knew him as a businessman.
