The defense team of Tirana’s mayor, Erion Veliaj, is expected to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in September.

The defense is preparing the file in cooperation with two international law firms, one British and one American, along with Veliaj’s Albanian lawyers.

Lawyer Plarent Ndreca stated that all legal avenues will be pursued to highlight the alleged legal violations in the criminal proceedings against Veliaj.

According to the defense, the American lawyers have not been able to get permission from SPAK to meet their client in the detention facility.

Meanwhile, lawyer Ben Brendon, representing the British law firm, held a meeting with Erion Veliaj in prison this Tuesday, where he also reviewed the investigation file.
