A Court in Vlora sentenced 20 days in prison as custody measure for Fatmir Kuçi, main suspect in the death of a Russian tourist in Himara some days ago. The decision is ten days shorter as 30 days time demanded by the Prosecutor.

The Prosecutors say Kuçi was the first person who noticed the injured tourist at sea and transported him to the port and then the hospital in Himara. Kuçi denies he was the one who hit the Russian citizen, explaining he was sailing with his speedboat when he saw the victim and with the help of another person took him onboard.
Prosecutor has the testimony of three people to sustain its claims, including that of the defendant’s son, who confirms seeing his father pulling up an injured person from the water and then was asked to call an ambulance.
Prosecutors are also investigatin 4 border police officers in Himara who accuses of power abuse, because Kuçi dit not have permission to sail with that speedboat and yet no one stopped him.
