New details have emerged from the court hearing at the Special Anti-Corruption Court for the defendants in the "Metamorphosis" case.
The GJKKO accepted the summary judgment for the defendants Ismail Zeneli, Bujar Ajeti, Besmir Murtati, Adrian Cenaj, Albert Prenga and Dedan Gjoni in this process, while the case was divided for the former deputy director of Tirana police, Erzen Breçani , and the former police officer, Jonida Babameto .
Both of them will be tried under ordinary procedure.
The court also declared incompetence by sending the file in charge of Breçani and Babameto to the Tirana Court.
Erzen Breçani stated in the courtroom that he could not accept being tried with the evidence presented by SPAK.
Breçani stated that: I want to be tried with the usual procedure. I know the investigation very well and to my knowledge, the one who is behind me, Bujar Ajeti, whom I have known since we were children, then also at RENEA, to my knowledge this person has not been wanted by the Albanian state. I have my reasons why I do not accept the summary trial. Bujar Ajeti has been escorted several times, he has crossed the border with a passport. I have been following criminals all my life, I have no reason to support this category now. I cannot accept that I be tried with this evidence that has been presented. As for the charge of "money laundering", it has not even occurred to me and I have not laundered money. SPAK itself says that we do not have the financial means and it is true, we took the money for the hydroelectric power plant from my brother who has been with us for 25 years, with several businesses.
Prosecutor Vladimir Mara stated that Erzen Breçani used a PIN in the Sky Ecc application that was previously used by justice associate Nuredin Dumani.
Meanwhile, the court has separated from this process the other persons who are still wanted, including Erzen Breçani's son, Eralbi, Ervin Mata, Artan Sulejmani and Bajram Grabova, who have been internationally wanted since November 2023.
Some of the defendants requested that the case be separated from the others, a request which was not accepted by the GJKKO.
