SPO Submits Evidence Again, And Requests Recusal of Judge

-

The Special Public Prosecution today again submitted evidence for the case regarding the falsification of documents in connection with the destruction of the equipment used for wiretapping by UBK to the Basic Court Skopje 1, as yesterday the evidence was returned to them as incomplete.
The SPO requested a recusal of the judge because there are circumstances that would cause doubt in the judges impartiality in the decision making and because the same judge was mentioned in the content of the publicly released illegal wiretapped conversations.
The SPO explained, they pointed out to the court the absence of legal obstacles to the judicial office to register and receive classified information and the legal obligations to everybody working with classified information to provide administrative and human resources for handling classified information.
As the SPO said, the letter clarifies that in the present case, the declassification of the evidence has not been requested due to the fact that the declassification proposed evidence would have received the same treatment as information which can be accessed freely.
