The "Non Grata" file in London, the former SHIK official is expected

At 10:30 this Wednesday, the lawyers of Sali Berisha and the representatives of the Ministry of the Interior Home Office faced off in London as defendants for the decision to declare the former Albanian president and prime minister non grata.

In this list of court proceedings in SIAC (Special Immigration Appeals Commission), the review of Sali Berisha's lawsuit is expected to last four days.

Top Channel journalist Muhamed Veliu reports that in this second session, representatives of the Home Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs, will present the facts and set of facts through which the former Secretary of State Priti Patel based the decision on Berisha.

This will be the moment when Fergus Randolph QC, Mr. Berisha's legal representative, will get to know the materials, including those of secret form, through which the Home Office connects the former prime minister with criminal events and corruption.

Top Channel learns that part of this file is also the long testimony given by a former SHIK official who has won political asylum in Great Britain

The names of the people questioned and the sources of information through which the British built the Berisha dossier will be revealed in what is called a closed session.

SIAC, including the parties in the process, will never make public the names of the interviewees or sources of the Home Office or other British agencies, part of Berisha's non grata file.

However, in the final decision, some data presented by the parties in this process will be listed.

Fergus Randolph QC, Mr Berisha's legal representative, will outline the reasons for the verdict against Berisha on Thursday.

Mr. Berisha's law firm in this process is composed of lawyers from the Brick Courts Chambers company, which in the diary of high-profile cases listed for 2024 also that of Sali Berisha.

The decision whether the declaration of Sali Berisha as person non grata by Great Britain was legitimate or not is expected to be announced by SIAC at the beginning of April./topchannel
