In today’s session, SPAK prosecutors claimed that Berisha violated the security measure of “house arrest” by letting in his apartment and communicating with the former MEP Elmar Brok and the Italian journalists of RAI.
Meanwhile, Berisha’s defense lawyer Genc Gjokutaj said after the session that this decision is aberrant, since the security measure against Berisha does not affect his activity.
“Berisha has been under house arrest since December 30. This is a slip of SPAK and the Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime. The house arrest does not affect the activity of the opposition leader,” said Gjokutaj.

Likewise, SCOC did not accept the request for recusal of judge Irena Gjoka.
