When Erion Veliaj plays the victim with his lawyers

The Mayor of Tirana, who is in Durrës prison on 13 charges, now officially by SPAK, which were brought to Court two days ago, made a long post on social networks. ( READ HERE )

Erion Veliaj used many of his theses, which CNA is deconstructing one by one day after day, to show that we were dealing with a pioneer in prison or with the behavior of a child, to the extent that his behavior is perhaps his public punishment.

The posts, his approach to investigations, and his childlike behavior are enough to be a punishment for Erion Veliaj.

A public punishment from the massive abandonment that people have made of his approach to the truth, as an official who yesterday was the most supported person by the media, by the people, now seems to be in his public childhood.

So, even for people to truly recognize how dignified he is and in fact where he is there are very dignified men who make a difference with him, it is enough to look at the approach of Lefter Koka, Alqi Bllako, Ilir Beqaj, to understand the difference.

Today we are capturing another point.

Erion Veliaj says in his post that he is not being allowed to meet foreign lawyers. He is also being victimized with this issue. He uses several theses from time to time with a single goal, his finale being Strasbourg, it is enough for him to win something in Strasbourg because it does not matter what it is, it is enough for him to win something.

Therefore, he is endlessly victimized, behaving almost like a child, using terms of victimization.

One of the issues is that of lawyers, where Erion Veliaj says he has not been allowed to meet his international lawyers.

The question is simple.

Does the law allow Erion Veliaj to meet with lawyers from the US or Great Britain?

In fact, the law on lawyers clearly states:

"You can have a well-known lawyer in EU countries."

So, Erion Veliaj is telling us that his lawyers from the US and the UK are being banned, but he forgets to say that the law prohibits it, neither the prosecutors nor the court prohibits it. In fact, the court did it.

We remember a few months ago when his American lawyers went to the doors of the GJKKO and Judge Engert Pëllumbi turned them away because Albanian law only recognizes lawyers certified or recognized in EU countries. Neither the US nor the UK are in the EU.

The desperate reaction of Erion and his lawyers

Secondly, Erion Veliaj says that he is not allowed to meet his foreign lawyers even though the law prohibits it. But even if judges and prosecutors tolerated the famous Erion Veliaj, who lives in another universe and for whom we should have other standards according to him, meeting these foreign lawyers, there is another problem: The Criminal Code clearly states that you can only have two lawyers, you can only be represented by those two. Erion Veliaj has Ermir Beta and Artur Selmani. Both are his defense lawyers, but the law clearly states that a third is not allowed, only two are needed!

But Erioni says no. "I can keep these two, I can ask for a third and a fourth from the US or Great Britain," even though the law is clear and prohibits it.

Only two lawyers are allowed and Erion Veliaj has them. The law is clear, only lawyers from EU countries are allowed and not from the US or Great Britain.

These are the victimizations that Erion Veliaj makes to later use as flags in Strasbourg.

But he has nothing to use and is behaving like a fool, as the law clearly states.

Not to Strasbourg, but to the Moon, when the law clearly states that you must have a lawyer from EU countries, you will only find one from EU countries, when the law clearly states that only two lawyers are allowed, only two are allowed!

Will there be a solution for Erion Veliaj?

He has it on his desk, which is why we emphasize that he is behaving like a fool, because he could very easily remove one of the lawyers he has, either Mr. Selmani or Mr. Betja, and replace them with a foreign lawyer from France, Italy, Germany, etc., perhaps even partners of these law firms that he has chosen from the US and Britain.

He can find European partners, remove the lawyers he has and will have two lawyers, have this foreigner he wants and meet him whenever he wants, because Erion Veliaj has met both Albanian lawyers whenever he wanted and when he wanted and no one has stopped him.

Erion Veliaj's "fantastic" lawyers

He can remove one of them and get a lawyer from an EU country and meet with him as often as he wants as the law stipulates and not break the law because his name is Erion Veliaj and he can do whatever he wants with the law or the rules as he did with the municipality's projects, with NGOs. With Ajola who opened dozens of organizations, she included all the family members and Erion signed the money that ultimately went into her pockets.
