Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj has reacted again from prison on the investigative process initiated against him, which he calls an imprisonment without trial.
Erion Veliaj's full post
27 years of loneliness
Good morning and easy fasting to all brothers and sisters.
Since evil neither fasts nor rests, but feeds daily on wickedness and deceit, it is necessary for me, and for us, to fight the haram that surrounds us daily.
After I proceeded with Nesti Angoni's anonymous letter, after I was declared "convicted" on the first page, and after the "crimes" that range from the boy's toys to the campaign in Rrogozhina and Kavaja, and from Facebook statuses to those on Instagram, were laid out, the question arises:
So why am I in prison?
Kafka also says in "The Trial", it's good that I am guilty without guilt and without facts, but why punish without a trial? There are three factors that the Court must take into account: the risk of flight, the destruction of evidence, and the social danger.
Let's take them in turn:
The risk of escape
Judge Bani reasons that since Ols Dado accuses me of crimes punishable by 12 and 15 years - that is, 27 years in prison - I would flee Albania. Yes, yes, read it:
"A logical legal conclusion can be reached in the form of reasonable possibility, on the real possibility of escape if no intervention is made to impose a coercive measure on this citizen."
I am suspected by Ols Dado of having committed the criminal offense of "Passive Corruption of High State Officials or Local Elected Officials" 9 times, committed in collaboration, starting in 2004, at the age of 25, with persons whom I neither knew then nor anticipated that I would know in the future.
I am suspected by Ols Dado of having committed the criminal offense of "Laundering the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity" more than once.
Do you understand? Since Olsi will ask for 27 plus years in prison, I have to be imprisoned even before the trial starts. But I was in Germany on the day of the raid and I returned immediately! I traveled to the USA twice more on December 30 and January 20 and returned again. Where is the danger? Where is the escape? Wouldn't the measure of keeping the passport be enough, so that even the escape from Olsi and Bani would not be affected, but I could also continue the work for Tirana, which should not stop for a moment?
But, as Kafka commented about his persecutors in "The Trial": "I don't even think of running away from these two exemplary persecutors, who have pursued me with such zeal and passion that I almost feel sorry to leave them alone in court."
This is about the risk of running away, tomorrow and the day after we will talk about my high social risk.
I love you all!
