The Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague on Wednesday found the leader and deputy leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army War Veterans’ Organisation, Hysni Gucati and Nasim Haradinaj, guilty of obstruction of justice, intimidation and the unauthorised revelation of court information and personal information about protected witnesses in war crimes cases.

Gucati and Haradinaj were each sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison, with the sentence to take into account the time they have spent in detention from September 2020. They were also fined 100 euros each.

Presiding judge Charles L. Smith III told the court that they had been found guilty of “obstructing official persons performing official duties by serious threat” and “intimidation during criminal proceedings”.
