The hearing at the Criminal Court for the former Head of State, Ilir Meta , who requested freedom, has concluded.
It is learned that the hearing against the President of the PL has been postponed, this because Judge Erjon Bani has declared his incompetence to decide regarding the replacement of the security measure "prison arrest" for Ilir Meta.
The declaration of incompetence was made following the request of lawyer Kujtim Cakrani, this because Erjon Bani was not the judge in Ilir Meta's case, but was willing.
The former Head of State himself was not present at the hearing and was represented by his lawyers.
"Ilir Meta will be released, there is no reason for him to remain in detention. The battle will continue," said his lawyer.
On August 6, Ilir Meta's legal representatives submitted to the GJKKO the request for the replacement of the personal security measure against their client.
The request argued that SPAK had completed the investigations into Ilir Meta, and consequently, the continuation of the detention measure no longer had a procedural basis.
We recall that on August 4, Ilir Meta was informed at SPAK of the closure of the investigations by the Special Prosecution Office into the LSI lobbying file in the US and the CEZ-DIA affair.
