The request to lift immunity reaches parliament; MPs vote today Hajdari’s head wanted The prosecutor: “He was at the head of the armed group” Hajdari, lightly in handcuffs BY SOKOL BALA Yesterday on state television, Chief Prosecutor Arben Rakipi stated that Azem Hajdari’s actions in burning all the boilers do not constitute a criminal offense. Rakipi described Hajdari’s fire-extinguishing as an abuse in the defense of the parliamentary mandate of the “improper” MP and expressed confusion about the allegations regarding the “super”-i and super-Soviet[?]. In fact, no one knows what this refers to. But by calling it both a “political crisis” and a “criminal matter,” he reignited the quarrel that had been settled around five years earlier with Azem Hajdari. A year ago and five years earlier, parliament was doing Azem Hajdari a favor by refusing to lift his immunity, after something like that had been decided around five years earlier in connection with the benefit of Ti[?]. Perhaps also because of this, a stubborn illusion had arisen in Tirana that one of the leading diplomats in Ti[?]. What matters today is what they think, today in this justice and process in Haldari. The Tirana Prosecutor’s Office, with its 11 prosecutors involved and the judiciary, The Tirana Prosecutor’s Office has requested that parliament lift the immunity and arrest Democratic Party MP Azem Hajdari for unlawful possession of weapons and participation in an illegal rally. The first charge is based on Articles 278 and 262 of the Criminal Code. The main signatory of this request is the head of the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office, Neshat Fana. Meanwhile, point 2 of the indictment is brought on the basis of Articles 47 and 334/1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania. The text of the request from Fana was brief and precise. Nano initially blocked the request. Now, this very morning, with a leading diplomat in Tirana. This request had to establish that it was true that Azem Hajdari is now facing a normal legal procedure like anyone else. The prosecution admits that “Hajdari,” like his predecessors, must be brought before justice. The prosecutor argues that Friday night’s unrest was a gathering of armed youths and turns it for the third time into a “criminal matter.” Everything will depend on a parliamentary decision and then on the district court no. 5 in Tirana.
