Macedonia: after seven years in prison, the A1 owner was released
After almost seven years in prison, Velija Ramkovski, the owner of the former A1 television, has left the prison for treatment. It is uncertain when he will return to Idrizovo for serving his sentence of 13 years: for the moment the countdown of the penal days is stopped. Ramkovski was arrested in December 2010, after the spectacular police action entitled "Cobweb”. According to Ramkovski, the police intrusion into A1 headquarters was a political hike commissioned by VMRO-DPMNE and Nikola Gruevski.
