SThe court course against Adnon Jashar, charged with the murder of his former husband, Diana Kastrati, has been postponed on December 23rd, after defence lawyer Haxhi Millaku has taken time to handle the subject paperwork and to get access to the case file.

He has requested that today’s session be interrupted and that a reasonable time be given to get acquainted with the file.
I have handed him over to the preliminary procedure as defender of defendant Adnan Jashari, and this at the same time he was required to contact the investigative police. My authorisation has been deposited since the beginning, in the first 48 hours, which date back to 2011 the tracking organs have had his defender’s address now to represent the accused in absentia for fulfilling legal preconditions for a fair, fair and legal investigation. Rights as a constitutional category have also been violated, as a protector I have not been treated as the law requires. In any procedure action that the prosecution bodies have done before the established indictment and I have never been given access to documents and the file of this case, even though today I accepted the indictment from the court. I haven’t even met the requests to be equipped with the paperwork. I hear from the media when there’s a trial, everything can be called, but no justice. I demand that today’s session from this moment be interrupted, equipped with the subject paperwork, today’s process postponed for a reasonable time, he said.
Meanwhile, prosecutor Fatmire Cacaj has stated that the subject papers have been handed over to lawyer Ardita Berisha, who was previously appointed to protect the accused, adding that Milaku had the opportunity to care for them.
