Tetovo prosecutor’s office appeals to a traffic accident in which Theodora was killed
The Tetovo Basic Prosecutor’s Office has appealed to the Tetovo Basic Court’s verdict since the 7th of this month in which defendant MP, who was killed by the pedestrian Tetodora Ristovska, was sentenced to two years in prison for being in prison.
-The basic Public Prosecutor’s Office Tetovo filed an appeal on the verdict of the Tetovo Basic Court on 07.04.2025 in which the defendant MP. was convicted – for serious offenses against the safety of the people and property in the traffic referred to in Article 300 paragraph 4 in relation to Article 297 paragraph 3 in relation to paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code and was sentenced to two years in prison. The appeal is invested because of the amount of the criminal sanction, which the prosecutor is overwhelmed in terms of the severity of the crime and the degree of criminal responsibility of the defendant – reads today’s statement from the National Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Among the circumstances that the prosecution is seeking a stricter penalty are the particularly serious suits of a car accident, in which pedestrian Theodora Ristovska sustained serious bodily injuries, which he then died.
-Hojo Tetovo had the opinion of the Judicial Council stated in relation to this case before it was final. However, as the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the previous proceedings for this event has never agreed to a two -year prison sentence, the competent public prosecutor believes that there is still room for correction of sanction – say the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
In addition, they believe the general public interest, caused by the frequency of such crimes as a phenomenon, points to the need to strengthen penal policy as a preventive mechanism, so the public prosecutor has decided to seize the legal possibility and ask the Court of Appeal Gostivar to revoke the sentence.
In addition, the family of the victim who at this stage of the proceedings has no right to appeal, written to the prosecution in writing to request to appeal the verdict.
