The Special Appeal of GJKKO is expected to determine today the measure for the 6 arrested in the framework of the operation 'Metamorfoza'. The last session lasted for about three hours and was adjourned to July 31. None of the defendants were in the courtroom.
Businessman Pëllumb Gjoka, prosecutor Xhevahir Lita, former chief of Operations Oltion Bistri and former operative Ardit Hasanbegaj, Asmer Bilali, Edmond Preka, the latter the driver of businessman Gjoka, were represented by lawyers.
The lawyers of the 6 arrested persons stated that evidence cannot be taken from 'Encrochat' as the law does not provide for it. According to them, they cannot remain arrested with the evidence of 'Encrochat'. The lawyer of the businessman Pëllumb Gjoka, Ylli Manjani, said that in order to connect a person with criminal events, evidence is needed and not conjecture.
