Monika Kryemadhi's defense also submitted preliminary requests to the Special Court, objecting to part of the evidence administered by the Special Prosecution Office.
The former MP's lawyers requested that the evidence obtained from the seized phone be declared invalid and unusable, questioning its validity in the process.
During the hearing, Kryemadhi stated that SPAK itself claims that the phone in question does not belong to her, but to her mother, Fatime Kryemadhi. Ironically, she said that in this case it should be her mother who provides explanations for the communications with Vali Bizhga, Albana Shtylla, Engjëll Agaçi and other persons.
Kryemadhi also insisted that SPAK had no right to exercise control over the apartment where she lived with her mother, arguing that at that time she enjoyed the status of a deputy.
Redi Llanaj, Kryemadhi's lawyer: 3 times SPAK said that there is no corruption with the businessman regarding the apartment issue, but clarified that there is a corrupt relationship. The friendly relationship is considered by the proceeding body to be a corrupt relationship. We clarify that the defendants themselves have admitted that they have a friendship, a friendly early acquaintance relationship. Some tasks were left out by the judge of the preliminary hearing due to the incoherence of the investigation. I think these are not mistakes, but prejudices. Legally, the request was written by 3 prosecutors; de facto there is only one prosecutor, Altin Dumani. Arben Kraja was also the leader, but Arben Kraja is Arben Kraja, he was not used as a tool.
The court intervenes for breach of solemnity and ethical violations.
Llanaj: "Tool" is not offensive language, it is an instrument, it means an instrument. It is clear that there is a political issue here, so the defense attorney used the word "tool". We have been ready since the beginning of the proceedings. We have a dispute about the documents and electronic devices found in Kryemadhi's apartment. A search was conducted and 6 phones were found, while 1 phone was said to belong to Kryemadhi.
This phone was taken, the data was extracted and those materials that are part of the proceedings were removed, taking the data out of context. We demand the absolute unusability of all data extracted from the President's phone. An examination should be conducted and a comparison made with the materials that were taken out of context.
Kryemadhi: I wanted to start with a preliminary request for the invalidity and unusability of the phone data. I filed a request, but they rejected my request for the return of the items and the phone. The judge rejected the request with the argument that the phone is not mine. The Appeals Court also rejected it.
And the prosecution claimed that it wasn't mine, because it was found in Fatime Kryemadhi's apartment. At the time the phone was examined, in 2023, I was a member of parliament and the prosecution couldn't come to inspect it.
The prosecution knew very well that we lived in the same house. I know very well that they searched my bedroom, even though it was Fatima's in the mortgage. These decisions state that the phone is not mine, while 190 pages of the indictment are based on these messages. If it is Fatime Kryemadhi's, let her come and clarify the messages with Vali Bizhge, Albana Shtylla, Engjëll Agaçi, etc.
