During the closing statements of the trial concerning the tear gas incident, the two sides presented contrasting legal arguments regarding the culpability of Xhelal Sveçla. The prosecution formally requested that Sveçla be found guilty and convicted under the law. Conversely, the defense argued for an acquittal, asserting that the state had failed to prove that the accused committed the criminal act for which charges were brought.
Prosecutor Avni Namani presented several forms of material evidence and witness testimonies to support the prosecution’s case. Namani indicated that a specific CD, which documented the parliamentary session, was crucial to his argument. According to Namani, this recording clearly depicted the moment when Xhelal Sveçla activated and subsequently threw the tear gas device into the plenary hall.
Furthermore, the prosecutor noted that following the dispersal of a significant amount of gas, the individuals present in the hall evacuated the area. In addition to the video evidence, the prosecution also referenced a compiled photo album as supporting material. The opposing legal teams thus framed the proceedings around the interpretation and weight of this evidence.
While the prosecution emphasized the tangible evidence to establish criminal liability, the defense maintained that the evidence presented was insufficient to meet the burden of proof required for a conviction. The court now awaits the final judgment based on these conflicting legal narratives.
