Due to the high public interest, Ministry of Internal Affairs would like to provide the community with additional information regarding the incident in Terjola municipality.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has never received any statement or notification on the violence against a minor in the mentioned family. Thus, no restraining order was issued by the police against any of the family members.
Notification regarding the incident in the mentioned family was received in 2010, on which police made quick response, however no legal responsibility was established against any of the persons.
It is notable that in 2014, verbal confrontation took place between the accused and his son-in-law, on which the police took appropriate measures.
Ministry of Internal Affairs would like to once again underline, that the effective fight against domestic violence and providing respectful investigation, tailored to address interests of the victim still remains among priority directions of the Agency. Criminal justice policy against the abusers still remains stiff.
