What emerged from the trial: - 250 pages of the dossier have been tampered with, and it is not known by whom. - The dossier contains other translated materials that were inserted in violation of the law. - The prosecution also holds Fatos Nano responsible for foreign aid, even though during the Meksi government documents were published proving that the Italian aid arrived and was swallowed up in Shëngjin, Bulqizë i thimeve, etc. [?] - 250 pages of the dossier have been tampered with, and it is not known by whom. - The dossier contains other translated materials that were inserted in violation of the law. - The prosecution also holds Fatos Nano responsible for foreign aid, even though during the Meksi government documents were published proving that the Italian aid arrived and was swallowed up in Shëngjin, Bulqizë i thimeve, etc. A CHANCE FOR ESTABLISHING JUSTICE AND UNDERSTANDING

- Fatos Nano’s speech in court yesterday - Mr. Chairman, Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, judges, Without losing a single precious second of our work, without a hearing room [?], and without any prejudice, my final appeal to the bench and to you, esteemed judges, is that during this hearing, as well as in the proceedings that will follow, you carry out this mission not merely as formal enforcers of the law, but also with the moral responsibility of restoring a truth that has been missing for at least 2 years, since my unlawful arrest by order of Sali Berisha. I have been on trial here for two years as chairman of the Socialist Party, as President Berisha’s political rival. I am being tried here not to prove any criminal offense, but to carry out political revenge against me and the political force I lead. This entire process is unparalleled in the history of the Albanian state. Through it, an unconstitutional liquidation of the Albanian opposition is being sought. Without losing a single precious second of our work, my final appeal to the bench and to you is to calmly examine all the serious legal and constitutional violations that have accompanied this process. I believe justice cannot be an instrument of a particular power, but must be a guarantee of citizens’ freedoms. Esteemed ladies and gentlemen,

- Speech by lawyer Përparim Sahaku - Today, a scandalous accusation continues to be read, published, and propagated, without any serious support. My client, Mr. Fatos Nano, is the victim of a staged process. In this case, the laws were violated, the facts were distorted, and various documents were deliberately interpreted in a twisted way. We are not dealing with a normal criminal proceeding, but with a political prosecution aimed at discrediting the opponent. This case must be dismissed for lack of evidence and for procedural violations.

The question officially condemns public opinion, as a possibility [?] for the government to politically burden Fatos Nano. What is stated in the accusation is filled with assumptions and documents brought in outside the rules. Instead of being judged according to the law, a political conviction is being sought.
