Lefter Head

The former Minister of the Environment, Lefter Koka, is presenting before the court the conclusions of the defense in the Fier incinerator case. Through the lawyer, Koka claimed that he did not commit any legal violation.

The lawyer asserts that former minister Koka did not have any decision-making powers regarding the issue of incinerators.

"The minister has only one competence, the order for the establishment of the commission for granting the concession. The defendant Lefter Koka has signed the concession contract as the holder, not as the decision-maker ," said lawyer Julian Mërtiri.

The Special Prosecutor's Office demands 10 years in prison for the former minister, who declares his innocence. 

Koka also opposed the accusation of corruption that SPAK brought against him. According to the lawyer, as long as Koka has not misused his office, there is no way he has committed corruption.

" Lefter Koka has no contact with concessionaires. The accusation has not proven either an agreement or the giving of money" , emphasized the lawyer.

The lawyer said that it was the Ministry of Finance that assessed the legality of the procedure and that allocated public funds.

" If he found problems, let him return it." According to the defender, the entire procedure has been examined by all relevant institutions" , the lawyer further said.
