"EULEX has sent a letter to Mr. Marty where we encourage him to provide the prosecutorial authorities within EULEX with any information or evidence that could shed light on the allegations made in his report," EULEX spokesman Blerim Krasnici said quoted by Reuters. In his report about the human organ trafficking, Marty identified the outgoing Kosovo Albanian Prime Minister Hashim Thaci as the leader of the mafia-style group involved in criminal activities including murders, organ, weapons and drug trafficking during and after the war in Kosovo. Marty said who in his report that Thaci and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) are responsible for the illegal activities. He drafted his report for two years at CoE request after former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) Carla Del Ponte first published information on human organ trafficking in her book The Hunt, in which she also said she was not allowed to carry out a full investigation of KLA activities.
