According to the minutes read by Dado, Veliaj threatened and insulted the BKH officer, Samet Gurguri.

Specifically, prosecutor Dado stated: "From the beginning, Erion Veliaj has displayed opposing and even insulting behavior towards the BKH investigators. It was an unethical and insulting reaction, refusing to receive the documents. Under these conditions, he left and informed the entire prison chain, from the lawyers to the managers. They all went together to explain the reason to Erion Veliaj. He was opposed and Veliaj addressed him with the words "My wife had an abortion twice. You have destroyed me. Ols Dado has 30 apartments. This scum, I will not forgive the abortion of my two children." Afterwards, Samet Gurguri and the lawyers of the IEVP placed the documents and documents in a room in pre-trial detention."

Regarding Veliaj's threatening and insulting language towards the BKH officer, prosecutor Altin Dumani also reacted during the hearing. He addressed Veliaj's lawyer, telling him that they should be careful when mentioning BKH investigators.

" The investigators are not tasked with familiarizing the defendant with the acts, be careful when mentioning the BKH investigators. They went there to implement the court's decision. There are no "fake" acts, yes, Mr. Lawyer, go to the court's secretariat and see how many acts there are and see if all of them have been submitted. Do not improvise situations that do not exist. We speak with acts, not with guesses, lawyer. You speak with guesses, we speak with acts ," Dumani said. /CNA
