After the hearing in the Gllogjan case, prosecutor Sahide Gashi reserves comments for the court

After the hearing on the killing in Gllogjan concluded, prosecutor Sahide Gashi did not provide details on the case in her statement to the media.

Before reporters, she said briefly that everything she has to say will be presented in court.

“Everything I have to say, I will say in court,” Gashi said.

Asked about why the new prosecutor in the case had been mentioned only during the closing argument, Gashi disputed that assessment.

“I do not agree with that,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Basic Court in Peja decided today to reopen the judicial review in the case of the triple killing in Gllogjan, in which Halil, Kreshnik and Kastriot Mehmetaj are accused.

The decision came after the Prosecution, only in its closing argument, referred to a video recording of Kreshnik Mehmetaj firing a weapon and to ballistic evidence, which had not previously been presented and admitted during the trial process, making it impossible for the defense to challenge them.

Halil, Kastriot and Kreshnik Mehmetaj are accused of having, on November 26, 2021, out of revenge, fired a Kalashnikov at a bus in Gllogjan, where two 17-year-old students and the bus driver were killed.

At the initial hearing held on June 21, 2023, all three defendants pleaded not guilty.
