On Monday, the Fier Court ordered pre-trial detention (“Arrest in prison”) until December 17 for Bledar Bakaj, the uncle of MP Zegjine Çaushi, who is suspected of wounding the father of a 34-year-old woman with a machete in Roskovec.
The incident took place on September 13 in the village of Suk, when the 52-year-old is alleged to have gone to the Gremi family’s home to forcibly take the daughter. Her father, Enver Gremi, objected, and during the scuffle he was wounded in the leg.
The 34-year-old woman had previously reported that Bakaj, after promising her a job, had held her against her will for 45 days and sexually assaulted her. She had also requested a protection order in August.
