Remi was arrested three days ago on charges alleging the torture and
killing of at least five unlawfully detained persons.
Remi denied the entire indictment against him, claiming it was not
based on facts, his attorney Aziz Rexha said on Wednesday.
Rexha conveyed Remi's message that he is willing to take the blame
if even one witness only testifies against him.
An investigation into Remi has been expanded to include war crimes
against civilians, the attorney said.
