The Kasowitz law firm, in a public statement, has responded after Erion Veliaj's lawyer, Plarent Ndreca, published a document stating that the mayor and his wife were also reported by another anonymous person 'Nasta Pëllumbi'. According to the law firm, this is a troubling piece of evidence that raises serious questions about the basis of the investigation against Veliaj. Materials obtained following a court order suggest that the investigation was initiated based on unverifiable anonymous claims attributed to individuals who do not exist. After a court order requiring the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) to finally provide Mayor Erion Veliaj with access to the evidence against him, the recently uncovered materials contain troubling evidence that raises deep questions about the foundation of the entire criminal prosecution. According to the uncovered materials, the SPAK investigation appears to have been launched based on anonymous claims attributed to two individuals identified as "Nesti Agoni" and "Nasta Pëllumbi," neither of whom appears in the National Civil Status Register of Albania. Plarent Ndreca, the defense lawyer for Mayor Veliaj in Albania, issued the following statement regarding the newly uncovered materials: "These alleged whistleblowers are fabricated names of fictitious individuals, and the claims attributed to them are unfounded and essentially unbelievable. This troubling discovery further suggests that SPAK has initiated a significant criminal prosecution against a sitting mayor on a deeply suspicious and pretextual premise, highlighting serious concerns about the due legal process, the integrity of the criminal prosecution, and the rule of law." The issue has attracted increasing international attention, with observers raising broader concerns about due legal process and the rule of law in Albania. /Top Channel/
