With the authorization of the Basic Prosecution in Mitrovica, the former Minister of Local Government Administration, Adriana Hoxhiq, was interviewed on Thursday by the Department of Economic Crimes.
The investigations are related to allegations of illegal employment during the period of local government of the municipality of Northern Mitrovica, at the time when Hoxhic was the deputy mayor of this municipality until May 2022.
Her lawyer, Musa Damati, confirmed for KosovaPress that his client was released immediately after the interview.
According to him, there is not a single piece of evidence that would prove the involvement of his client in the criminal offense related to abuse of office or official authority.
He said that his client is completely innocent and that this whole investigation is only about political spectacle, while emphasizing the fact that Mrs. Hoxhic has been the target of political attacks for a long time.
KosovaPress' sources within the police inform that the investigations are complex and started about two years ago against some former municipal officials of North Mitrovica, a number of whom were interviewed today by the Department of Economic Crimes, while the interviewing of former other officials will continue tomorrow.
Otherwise, the Kosovar politician with Bosniak ethnicity is known for her commitment and contribution to the creation of bridges of communication and trust between communities, especially in Mitrovica, during the 'hot' years and full of tensions in the post-war period. /KosovaPress/
