Court: Witnesses against Azem Syla are at risk (Insajderi)
The news site reports that the Court has concluded that two witnesses against former PDK MP Azem Syla and his group, are at highest level of risk. For this reason, several sessions have been scheduled in order to get their testimonies, without having an indictment yet. In the decision on the approval of prosecutor's request for a special investigation, which the news site claims to possess, the judge says that the risk for these witnesses is at the highest level. According to this decision, one witness has already been included in the witness protection program and is expected to leave Kosovo soon. Twenty investigative closed hearings were set by the Court to interview the two key witnesses against Azem Syla and 50 other suspects.
Former PDK MP Azem Syla, currently in detention, is under investigation for organized crime and money laundering. The prosecution alleges that based on the results of the current investigation, Syla organized, financed and supervised a criminal group.
