flag Albanian man acquitted on lesser charges in Scotland car incident; attempted murder charge pending over alleged high-speed chase and chainsaw threat.

flag Liridon Kastrati, a 32-year-old Albanian man, was not given an interpreter or solicitor before being charged in connection with a May 6, 2024, incident in Paisley, Scotland, where he allegedly stole a car, drove at high speed, hit a police vehicle, and brandished a chainsaw. flag Kastrati, who speaks limited English, maintained the event was a car accident and denied attempting to murder four officers. flag Prosecutors dropped four lesser charges, and the court acquitted him on those counts. flag The attempted murder charge remains pending, with defense arguments focusing on procedural fairness due to language barriers and lack of legal support. flag Two officers sustained whiplash injuries, and no mechanical defects were found in the vehicle. flag A collision expert confirmed speed was involved but could not determine exact speed or intent.
