Fredi Beleri "case" never happened before!
Fred Beller

An MEP elected from prison.

The case of Fredi Beleri, who over 237 thousand Greeks voted to be a member of the European Parliament, is most likely the only one in history.

Convicted for buying votes in Albania, he becomes a member of the European Union legislators.

Beleri was ranked fourth among those voted as a candidate in the Greek elections and became one of the 21 Greek MEPs in the EP and one of the 7 elected by Mitsotakis' New Democracy party.

Since the opening of the first boxes, the party started among his supporters in Himare.

Beleri from Fier prison, where he has been since May 12, 2023 for vote buying, called his victory a triumph of light over darkness.

"The power of democracy can overturn any putsch practice, it is enough to have the will and faith in a higher purpose. As we had who fought this war. A fight for democracy, the rule of law, the freedoms and dignity of citizens. The war was won under difficult conditions, unimaginable for a country that wants to become part of the European family. And it was won. Thanks to the honor, patriotism and pride of the Greeks", he wrote, among other things. 

The election of Beler MEP is a case that is expected to cause even more debates in the country. Legally, his choice does not affect the criminal process in Albania.

MEPs have immunity only in the member states of the European Union and not in Albania.

The SPAK investigative group said that his election has no effect and that the process continues, while the decisions of the Albanian courts are sovereign, writes the Albanian.

A quick solution would give the process a decision as soon as possible by the GJKKO of Appeal n. We remind you that Beleri was sentenced to 2 years in prison from the first degree.

His 13 months of imprisonment so far count as 20 months, as they are remand.

On the other hand, a verdict of not guilty, even though it seems difficult, from the Appeal would put Beleri before the election, between Himara or the position as a member of the European Parliament.

But a quick decision by the Court of Appeal does not seem to interest Freddy Beller, the last hearings have failed as his lawyers did not show up.

The new MEP would probably be interested in becoming a debate issue in the new European Parliament.

The next session when the Greek MEP Fredi Beleri appears before the court is on Friday, June 14, and it will be expected what his strategy will be.
