Today the next hearing was held, for the arrested mayor Erion Veliaj and 29 other defendants. The hearing has been postponed and it is understood that the postponement is a repeated action by Erion Veliaj and his lawyers. But today it was given as an argument for the postponement that the defendant Veliaj has not received notification from the Prisons Directorate.

Meanwhile, in the last court session, the date was announced, the lawyer was notified, and according to the law and regulations, Erion Veliaj should have been officially notified by the General Directorate of Prisons, then the Directorate of the Durrës Penitentiary Institution.

Today's session was postponed because Erion Veliaj did not receive notice.

CNA has warned that Adriatik Kupi, the head of the General Directorate of Prisons, is one of Erion Veliaj's men. But today, the sabotage of the trial at the GJKKO for the "Veliaj" case is a serious abuse of office, which has a finger pointed as an accusation at the Directorate of Prisons, from the new general director, to the legal directors, to the structures that receive and deliver notifications.

All prison personnel are under indictment today for abusing their duties, serving Erion Veliaj to sabotage today's court session, and this has become flagrant and public in the presence of the court and SPAK prosecutors, who must at a minimum open investigations and find those responsible for these sabotaging actions against a court case.

Or the director brings those responsible to justice if he is not tainted, and if he does not find them, then he is part of this structure and it is SPAK that should investigate the Prison Directorate for these illegal actions that lead to the criminal offense of 'abuse of office' by senior prison officials./ CNA
