The former director of the national stadium “Qemal Stafa” appeared in
front of Tirana court for the security measure, five days after the
Financial Crime unit arrested him on bribe charges, based on the report
of a citizen.
The court decided the security measure of 30 days to prison in order to verify in the meantime the pretensions of Gazmend Sallaku defending lawyers, who say that he is not in good health conditions. The prosecution read the police report and explained Judge Martin Deda that after recording the conversations, Sallaku asked from a citizen 150.000 ALL so that he could continue renting an 80 square meters shop in the Sport palace “Asllan Rusi”.
The prosecutor declared that the defendant took the money in the moment when the agents entered for making the arrest, but Sollaku hid them in a flower vase. At this point, the defending lawyer objected that the declaration of the accuser was not plausible, since the police report says that they found 130.000 ALL in the office and the other part is missing.
The defending lawyer also noted that the accused Gazmend Sallaku has no precedents, he has given a good contribute to the ruling Democratic Party and that he is religious. On the day when he was arrested he was fasting. Then the defence presented a medical report that says that the 41-year-old suffers from arrhythmia, but the prosecution objected and argued that this disease can be kept under control with ambulatory medication.
