The elected mayor Heimarras Freddy Beleris remains in custody, while his swearing-in is scheduled for next Tuesday, which cannot take place without his presence.
As the ERT correspondent in Albania explains, according to the legislation there, a deputy mayor should assume his duties, who will be appointed by a cabinet majority controlled by the Socialist Party, so he will be a supporter of Edi Ramawho will administer the municipality of Heimarra until further notice.
As they justify the detention of Freddy Belleris, according to Albanian legislation, the process of investigations and interrogations continues, until the file is completed and his case goes to court.
What the Special Court prosecutor insists on is that “there is a criminal precedent with Freddy Beleris” that’s why they don’t release him, because as they claim “ when he had been punished in 2003 for allegedly insulting Albania’s symbolss, when he prevented at the risk of his life – as an electoral representative in the village of Pyliuri – the theft of the ballot box by parastatals, in the municipal elections of the same year, he had moved away from Albania and returned when the case was barred».
