The Special Court has denied the request made by Ilir Meta, the head of the Freedom Party, concerning his pre-trial detention. Meta had proposed a modification to his existing restrictions, seeking to substitute them with a financial guarantee valued at 50,000 euros. The former president was absent from the proceedings, but was legally represented by his defense attorney, Kujtim Cakrani.
During a statement released to the media immediately following the hearing, Cakrani announced his intention to challenge the Court of General Jurisdiction’s ruling. He asserted that he would formally appeal the decision. This action reflects the defense team’s belief that the court’s judgment was unwarranted.
The court’s rejection highlights the continued legal complexities surrounding Meta’s case. The proposed guarantee represented a significant shift in the terms of his detention, aiming to provide an alternative to the existing security measures. However, the court ultimately deemed this substitution unacceptable.
Cakrani’s planned appeal signals a continuation of the legal battle, suggesting a potential for further review and debate regarding Meta’s situation. The outcome of the appeal will be crucial in determining the next steps in this ongoing case.
