Inquisition without proof to me

At this Wednesday’s hearing, the Special Court decided to accept the request of the defendants of the file « Sterilization », for summary judgment. Former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj, did not make a request for summary judgment. According to the Court, in a situation where Beqaj did not seek summary judgment, the case is noted.

The former minister is charged by the SPAK for abuse of office about the 100m euro concession of sterilization of surgical equipment. According to the Special Prosecution, Beqaj has approved and signed the concession contract in violation of the law, without conducting a detailed study of real service needs and without avoiding conflict of interest with businessman Ilir Rrapaj, the concession winner.

Beqaj has denied the allegations, defending the concession as a project that has brought benefits to the health system and citizens. He has requested to be asked again by investigators and submitted requests for additional investigative actions.

« I asked the SPAK to give me a decision of the former serious crops in the archive. I have asked and did not give it five times, I received it to the Assembly that they had taken the inquiry commission. That decision and decision of the Tirana Prokuture are innocent according to the principle of the trial.

Beqaj continued to argue that there were no figures and the data were contradictory in the file and the preliminary decision. « I am charged with theft, but there is no figure, the SPAK has not made the justification of the new charge he accepted by the court. We are not seconds, our life is not a second for summary judgment. »
