At the request of the Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo, the Special Department of the Constitutional Court in Pristina has assigned the detention measure to five defendants for a month.

The suspects are charged with criminal acts of participation or organisation of the organised criminal group and illegal narcotics activities.

According to the court’s announcement, the detention measure is assigned to defendants with initials I.S., F.S., A.C., A.E. and V.S.

The court has estimated that there is a danger that, if the defendants are released, they could prevent the development of criminal procedure, influence evidence and witnesses, and avoid prosecution.

Another reason presented by the tribunal is the danger of escape, as some of the defendants are citizens of Turkey and North Macedonia.

The court has also estimated the danger exists for defendants to repeat the same acts or perform other criminal acts.
