IPK recommends suspension for three police officers in Drenas

The Kosovo Police Inspectorate, namely the Department of Investigations, received a complaint from a citizen through the Blue Line (toll-free telephone number 080003333), who complained about police officers in Drenas exceeding their authority while using force.

The incident was reported to have occurred on 10.06.2024 in Drenas at around 20:00 during a match at the sports hall, after which police officers arrested a suspect.

The case was registered with the IPK, and investigators became involved, undertaking concrete investigative actions.

Following several investigative actions and in consultation with the competent prosecution office, IPK investigators, in the interests of the investigation, recommended the suspension from duty of three police officers suspected of the criminal offense of “ill-treatment in the performance of official duties.”

Further investigative actions related to this case will continue to be carried out by IPK investigators in ongoing consultation with the responsible prosecutor.
