In this case, Ukë Rugova, Astrit Haraqija and the other three defendants mentioned above are being tried separately, after the separation of the procedure against them, because according to the former judge of the case Naime Krasniqi-Jashanica, with this form of trial will be more efficient , reports “Oath of Justice”.

An attempt to hold a trial against Ukë Rugova, Astrit Haraqija and three other defendants was made on 26 February 2020, but the trial was not held as the trial panel was not fully composed.

In the morning and afternoon of August 4, 2020, hearings were scheduled to be held for this case, where in the morning Ukë Rugova, Astrit Haraqija, Florjan Petani, Qefser Baholli and Izet Beqiri were expected to appear before the court.

However, Judge Krasniqi-Jashanica had announced for the “Oath of Justice” that the hearings were canceled due to the situation created by the global pandemic, COVID-19.

Culture, Youth and Sports, Astrit Haraqija, and three other defendants.

Following the transfer of Judge Krasniqi-Jashanica to the General Department, this case was assigned to Judge Fatime Dermaku, who was assigned to the Serious Crimes Department.

“We inform you that Judge Naime Krasniqi has been appointed to the General Department – Division for Criminal Matters, while the case in question will be tried by Judge Fatime Dermaku, who by decision of the President of the Court has been appointed to the Department for Serious Crimes”, said the spokesperson of the Basic Court in Prishtina, Mirlinda Gashi, for “Oath of Justice” regarding this issue.

Judge Dermaku had scheduled March 11, 2021 for the next hearing, but it failed because the defense counsel of the accused Izet Beqiri, lawyer Besnik Berisha, informed the court that at the same time and the same court has another hearing. , for which, according to him, the date of the hearing was announced earlier than in this case.

Otherwise, this case was tried by the EULEX mission, but after the end of the mandate, the case was transferred to the locals.

This case was then assigned to Judge Naime Krasniqi-Jashanica, who had not scheduled any hearing in 2018, on the grounds that this case was not a priority for the court.

After the case was transferred to the local judges, in January 2018, the first attempt to hold a hearing was made after a year, respectively in January 2019, but this hearing had failed in the absence of the four defendants.

Otherwise, in the initial hearing held on August 30, 2016, Ukë Rugova and others had pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. They were also acquitted at the hearing held on January 11, 2017.

The indictment of the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo (SPRK), filed on May 16, 2016, charges Ukë Rugova that during the period May 2011 to February 2014 he managed a criminal group by supplying individuals with EU Schengen visas, from the Italian Embassy in Prishtina. All of these visas are presumed to have been obtained illegally through distortion or corruption.

The other enacting clause of the indictment also charges Rugova with the criminal offense of Unauthorized Possession of Weapons, where a pistol and two cartridges were found in his residence.

The indictment, which was drafted by prosecutor Allen Cansick, states that the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo has received from the Italian Prosecution in Rome a copy of their visa file including the name of the former Italian Ambassador to Kosovo Michael Giffoni.

Along with Ukë Rugova in this case are also accused Izet Beqiri, Florjan Petani, Qefser Baholli, Astrit Haraqija, Fitim Beqiri, Azad Beqiraj, Liridona Beqiri, Kujtim Avdyli, Ragip Gashi, Visar Beqiri Hamza Beqiri, Azem Koskoviku, Edison Idrizaj Shaqiri, Hasan Shaqiri, Dritëro Voca, Valon Selimi, Fadil Ahmeti and Haxhi Islami.

The Prosecution alleges that this group, as it criminalizes, aimed to secure material gain in such a way that citizens are provided with Schengen visas by the Italian Embassy in Pristina.

The Basic Court in Prishtina has ordered detention on remand against the defendants SF, AP, SS, LP, FH, GK, FS, J.GJ., FK, RR.M., due to the grounded suspicion that the co-defendants have committed the criminal offense ‘Organization of pyramid schemes and illegal gambling’.

Defendants FS, SF and FH each separately committed the criminal offense ‘Unauthorized possession, control or possession of weapons’.

The defendants SF, AP, SS, LP, FH, GK, FS, J.GJ., and FK, the court has assigned the measure of detention for a period of 1 (one) month for each separately, and the detention is calculated from the time of detention on 24.03.2021 until 23.04.2021.

While against the defendant RR.M., he was assigned the measure of house arrest for a period of 1 month, which measure will be calculated starting from 24.03.2021, until 23.04.2021.

The pre-trial judge assessed that the measure of detention and house arrest are adequate measures for the unimpeded development in this criminal case, as there are circumstances that indicate the risk that if the defendants are released they can escape and avoid calls to Court and Prosecution, in order to avoid criminal liability.

Also, if the defendants are found at large, they can hide, alter or falsify the evidence, influencing the co-perpetrators and potential witnesses, and the same can affect the damage, disappearance and destruction of concrete evidence.

The parties have the right to appeal against this decision to the Court of Appeals of Kosovo through the Basic Court in Prishtina.
