The initial hearing in the case where former KEK director Nagip Krasniqi, former procurement chief Ymer Dragusha, and lawyer Isuf Zejna are being accused has been postponed to February 7.
The pre-trial judge, Rrahman Beqiri, postponed the session because the evidence that Dragusha received the invitation was not returned.
He announced that the next session will start at 9:30, while adding that regarding the presence of the defendant Ymer Dragusha, the court is considering all possible actions, including issuing an arrest warrant.
"He sent the invitation for this session, while so far the submission form has not been returned to the court, which is why the court cannot determine whether he was duly invited or not," he stated.
Dragusha's lawyer, Sabrije Krasniqi, said she has not been able to contact her client.
"From the moment I received the invitation, I tried to get in touch via the phone that I have his number on, but there was no access to the phone," Krasniqi.
Otherwise, on December 30, 2023, the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo announced that it had filed an indictment in the well-known "KEK" case.
In this case, the accused is the former head of KEK Nagip Krasniqi, the former head of procurement at KEK, Ymer Dragusha and the lawyer Isuf Zejna.
"The Special Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Kosovo has filed an indictment in the Basic Court in Pristina, Special Department, in the known case 'KEK' against the defendants NK, YD, IZ", the announcement states.
The announcement states that the defendants are accused that during the time period 2021 - 2023, with their illegal actions, they have caused damage to the budget of Kosovo, about 37 million euros, by committing the criminal offenses: "misuse of office or official authority", "disclosure of official secrecy" and "assistance in misuse of office or official authority".
This case has reportedly been transferred to the Special Department of the Basic Court in Pristina for further proceedings. This is the second indictment against Krasniqi.
In the other indictment filed for corruption, Krasniqi has pleaded not guilty.
In the first indictment, where Krasniqi is accused of corruption, the Prosecution claims that his actions have damaged the state with 531.920 euros in taxes, as well as KEK with over 3.2 million euros, due to being fined by ERO for trading with unlicensed enterprises in Kosovo. /KosovaPress/
