As part of an ongoing investigation of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, EULEX police in plain clothes reportedly searched the offices of the Ministry of Transport and escorted staff from the premises today. The Ministry of Transport and its head, Fatmir Limaj, have been the focus of many corruption allegations in the media in the past months. It has been reported that the head of ICO, Peter Feith, has on occassion presented a case for the removal of Limaj to Kosovo PM Haschim Thaci regarding the alleged corruption but Thaci was said to be “unconvinced” by the evidence presented. So far, no official charges have been presented against Limaj or anyone in the Ministry of Transport.
