One day after the Prosecution asked 2 years to prison for Ilir Meta, the
former Deputy Prime Minister reacted with a press release. He
considered the Prosecution’s request as political and unfounded.
“This request wasn’t based on any proof or any witness. It was a political pretense. However, it is remarkable how the Prosecution lowered their request from the death sentence in January 2011, to 2 years in prison and 1 million ALL, because they can’t stay without placing fines. They say that they have asked 3 million EUR from someone, for avoiding him prosecution, and other things like that”, declared the SMI leader, Ilir Meta.
When asked to comment Prifti’s declaration that mentioned other videos against him, Meta declared:
“When I was a heavy weight sportsman, there were some standards. Someone of a great weight cannot compete with small weights. A lion cannot fight a rat, because the rat might have drank something and for the moment thinks that he’s omnipotent, just because he can’t take drinking”, Meta declared.
The General Prosecution asked the Supreme Court to sentence Meta to two years in prison and with 1 million ALL fine. Ilir Meta is the former Deputy Prime Minister, accused of corruption by the former Minister of Economy, Dritan Prifti, who gave a video registration to Top Channel’s program “Fiks Fare”, and also testified against Meta in court.
The Supreme Court will give the verdict on January 16th.
