Defense Seeks Exclusion of Family in “Pulse” Fire Trial
The defense team for Dejan Jovanov-Deko, the first defendant in the investigation surrounding the “Pulse” nightclub fire, requested the court’s intervention today, seeking to exclude the public, specifically the parents of the deceased, from ongoing proceedings. The request, reported by Portalb.mk, followed concerns raised during a previous session. According to defense attorney Ivana Kocevska, the defense had previously requested the court to consider lifting the arrest warrant for Jovanov.
During the session, the defense alleged that Jovanov was subjected to insults and threats directed at him by the deceased’s parents. Kocevska further requested the prosecution to initiate a formal procedure regarding these alleged threats against her client. The court rejected the defense’s request for exclusion.
The incident occurred during the trial related to the devastating fire at the “Pulse” nightclub. The defense’s actions highlight ongoing tensions and challenges within the legal proceedings. The investigation continues, with the prosecution examining Jovanov’s potential involvement in the events leading up to the fire.
