Trial/ "I definitely need 200 thousand", from the message with

Former President Ilir Meta made strong statements during today's session at the Special Court, where the case against him is being tried.

Former President Meta has denied his involvement in the finances of the Freedom Party (former LSI), claiming that responsibility for these matters belonged to the party's secretariat or leadership.

He also touched on the issue of lobbying, stating that the only time he intervened politically, but not financially, was the $15,000 advance payment, which according to him was made legally and by decision of the presidency.

During his speech, Meta also mentioned former American ambassador Yuri Kim, for whom he used harsh tones, describing her as "a sworn enemy of Albania in the service of Serbia."

The former president also accused representatives of foreign embassies of interfering in the process of appointing members of the Constitutional Court. He claimed that, while he was President of the Republic, he was threatened by five embassy representatives not to appoint Marsida Xhaferllari, but Arta Vorpsi.

"Does that court know that I was threatened as President of the Republic by 5 embassy scumbags, representing 5 foreign embassies, so that Marsida Xhaferrllari would not be in the Constitutional Court, but rather Lana's, Arta Vorpsi?," Meta said.

Meta said that he does not rule out the possibility that, according to him, absurd accusations could be raised through manipulation, up to a conspiracy to assassinate US President John F. Kennedy.

Ilir Meta's full statement to the GJKKO:

"I am not surprised that they are also charging him with conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy with these manipulations that have been made. The agreement was between the two entities GSIS-Unifi. The chairman of the LSI acts according to the laws. The chairman had nothing to do with finances, the party's secretariat or leadership has them. Even more so with lobbying, no expenses. If there is anyone who knows this better, it is Mr. Kllapi. Condolences for the loss of your mother, because I found out about it from the media. Kllapi knows well, we met before I was arrested.

The only documented case where I have intervened politically, not financially, is the legal payment of 15 thousand dollars as a down payment. This was done by a decision of the presidency. I am not going to get into other tales. They were dictated by Yuri Kim, a sworn enemy of Albania in the service of Serbia.

If the prosecutor has the right to announce that I made payments, I did not, because I have no relationship with Shatku, nor with anyone. The lady has the right to defend herself. She will bear responsibility. I do not know which court SPAK referred to for blocking information from GSIS about LSI for two years.

Does that court know that I was threatened as President of the Republic by five representatives of foreign embassies, so that Marsida Xhaferllari would not be the Constitutional Court, but Lana's, Arta Vorpsi, would be?

That court doesn't know that I'm leaving today at my own expense to the US, if they have anything to do with me. In the US, Maduro was also arrested with an arrest warrant. It seriously concerns Albanian-American relations. I have done every action through the lady. The contract is so specified, everything is verifiable.

The prosecution's claim that he bought a house is based on a message dated June 28, 2009, that I had a message with Mr. Ismaili on June 22, but the judicial police officer made the minutes on June 28. "Let's meet tomorrow because I definitely need 200 thousand." There is no such message. Why did he make it on the 28th at dinner, because the elections were on June 29 and he thought his party would win. DIA was registered after 14 months in Albania. The prosecution is fixated on 200 thousand. I ask the prosecution to contact the DIA in Washington, write a letter of request.

Po ndodh...
