Pano Soko: Veliaj got a lawyer for 10 thousand dollars an hour, but he will stay

Nisma Thurje co-director Pano Soko, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, spoke about the trial against Erion Veliaj and the security measures against him. 

Soko said that there is no American lawyer working for Veliaj and that he is likely to remain in prison. 

"Veliaj, the way he's behaving seems like he's interested in staying in prison. The main charge he's in prison for is intimidation of the BKH agent, fear of intimidation of opponents, destruction of evidence. What does he do? He intensifies the intimidation, he tells the prosecutor, see what I'll do. What can Erion Veliaj do? He's a powerful man. The judge should take this into account. Veliaj is on trial today for theft. What does he do? He goes and gets one of the most expensive lawyers in America. The brother who got rich when he was mayor and is connected to this case. And what does he do? He's accused of theft, he gets one of the most expensive lawyers in New York, 10 thousand dollars an hour. There's no judge who can turn a blind eye to this. 

We are talking about Veliaj, the incinerator, the 'Ndrangheta, 5D, the Theater, the property investigation, these are hundreds of millions of euros. Erion Veliaj's name is there. 

"So we are talking about a person who has been in the history of democracy, there has been no one more accused of corruption than Erion Veliaj. The judge takes these facts into account. I have no doubt that he will remain there. No matter how much they defend him, his criminal fate is written," said Soko.
