On 27.07.2022, at 09:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 29/2020, dated 16.07.2020, pertaining to appeal of the assessee Ardit Mustafaj against decision no. 245, dated 05.03.2020 of the Independent Qualification Commission.
The assessee was heard by the trial panel, as he submitted his objections to the IQC decision no. 245, dated 05.03.2020, holding that this decision, based on grounds related to only one criterion, the assets’ one, is biased, contains erroneous findings, is arbitrary and it is entirely contrary to the principle of proportionality. The assessee requested the re-opening of the judicial investigation and the collection as evidence of some new acts, for which he stated that it was not his fault they were not filed during the administrative process to the Independent Qualification Commission.
Subsequently, the trial panel, after being consulted, decided:
– To open the judicial investigation and administer in the case file the acts forwarded by the IQC.
– By a majority vote, based on Article 47 of Law 49/2012 as well as Articles 45 and 49 of Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”, to administer in the capacity of evidence the acts that the assessee filed with the appeal, in his submissions and in the explanations filed in today’s hearing, related to the facility “building”, 1+1, in Saranda.
– Administer in the case file an expert report, drafted in February 2020, filed in today’s hearing, despite the fact that it does not constitute new evidence.
– By a majority vote, to accept as evidence the documents related to the spouse income from teaching, the donations from the parents of the related person, the savings deposit in the Savings Bank, specified in the explanations filed in today’s hearing.
– As regards the acts entitled as “other documents”, the trial panel considers them as procedural acts administered in the case file, in view of the decision it made for the consideration of this case in a public hearing.
– The trial panel decided to reject to accept as evidence the acts that do not meet the requirements of Article 47 of Law 49/2012 and which are considered unnecessary, in the sense of Article 49 of Law 84/2016, related to a loan obtained by the assessee, the reduction of living costs, and the disproportionality of the intervention in private and family right, specified in the explanations filed in today’s hearing, as well as those filed today by the assessee in relation to the loan.
Following the above interim decision, given that the assessee had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited the assessee to submit his final conclusions.
During the presentation of the final conclusions, the assessee requested the Chamber the overruling of the conclusions of the Independent Qualification Commission for insufficient declaration and lack of legitimate sources related to the asset assessment, since, according to him, they are contrary to the Constitution, the law and the AC case-law. Referring to the IQC decision, the assessee stated that the measure of his removal from office is not proportional in relation to the purpose that Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania” aims to achieve. Finally, the assessee requested the amendment of the IQC decision no. 245, dated 05.03.2020 and the confirmation in office, by amending the IQC conclusions for the asset assessment criterion, evaluating that he has reached a reliable level in this criterion as well.
After hearing the final request of the assessee, the trial panel withdrew to make the final decision, to be announced on September 21, 2022, at 13:00.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    Kolegji i Posaçëm i Apelimit zhvilloi më datë 03.06.2025, ora 10:00, seancën gjyqësore publike të çështjes (JR) 49/2023, datë 27.10.2023, që i përket ankimit të Komisionerit Publik kundër vendimit të Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit, nr. 696, datë 11.09.2023, që lidhet me subjektin e rivlerësimit Marsida Frashëri.

    Gjatë verifikimit të prezencës së palëve, kryesuesja e trupit gjykues bëri me dije se neni 179/b, pika 8 e Kushtetutës së Republikës së Shqipërisë dhe neni 199 i Kodit të Procedurës Civile ka përcaktuar kalimin e kompetencave nga Komisioneri Publik tek Drejtuesi i Prokurorisë së Posaçme, i përfaqësuar në këtë çështje me autorizim të veçantë nga prokurori i Prokurorisë së Posaçme z. Klodian Braho, i pranishëm në seancë.

    Gjatë paraqitjes së shkaqeve të ankimit, përfaqësuesi i Prokurorisë së Posaçme deklaroi se ndan qëndrim të ndryshëm nga Komisioni i Pavarur i Kualifikimit që ka konfirmuar në detyrë subjektin e rivlerësimit, pasi shkeljet e saj profesionale janë të tilla që nuk mund të korrigjohen nga programi i trajnimit i Shkollës së Magjistraturës dhe se, znj. Frashëri ka cenuar rëndë besimin e publikut tek sistemi i drejtësisë.

    Subjekti i rivlerësimit i kërkoi Kolegjit mospranimin e ankimit të Komisionerit Publik, pasi sipas saj, në shkelje të Kushtetutës, është ushtruar ankim ndaj një vendimi të paankimueshëm, siç është vendimi i ndërmjetëm i Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit që ka vendosur pezullimin nga detyra të znj. Marsida Frashëri për një periudhë 1- vjeçare dhe ndjekjen e programit të trajnimit të Shkollës së Magjistraturës.

    Pasi subjekti i rivlerësimit iu përgjigj disa pyetjeve nga relatorja e çështjes në funksion të shqyrtimit të çështjes, trupi gjykues vendosi mbylljen e shqyrtimit gjyqësor dhe ftoi palët në paraqitjen e konkluzioneve përfundimtare.

    Përfaqësuesi i Prokurorisë së Posaçme deklaroi se i qëndron ankimit, për më tepër, që subjekti i rivlerësimit nuk kundërshtoi thelbin e tij. Z. Klodian Braho kundërshtoi qëndrimin e subjektit të rivlerësimit mbi pavlefshmërinë e ankimit, duke argumetuar se ankimi i Komisionerit Publik është ushtruar ndaj vendimit përfundimtar të Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit, atij të konfirmimit në detyrë, ndërkohë që nuk ekziston asnjë dispozitë ligjore mbi pretendimin e ngritur nga subjekti i rivlerësimit. Përfaqësuesi i Prokurorisë së Posaçme kërkoi përfundimisht ndryshimin e vendimit të Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit, nr. 696, datë 11.09.2023 dhe shkarkimin nga detyra të subjektit të rivlerësimit Marsida Frashëri.

    Subjekti i rivlerësimit i kërkoi përfundimisht Kolegjit mospranimin e ankimit të vendimit të Komisionit të Pavarur të Kualifikimit nr. 696, datë 11.09.2023, si një vendim i parishikueshëm dhe i paankimueshëm, si dhe lënien në fuqi të tij.

    Pasi dëgjoi konkluzionet përfundimtare të palëve, trupi gjykues u tërhoq në dhomë këshillimi për marrjen e vendimit përfundimtar, të cilin do ta shpallë më datë 10.06.2025, ora 15:00.

    Seanca gjyqësore publike do të zhvillohet në ambientet e Kolegjit të Posaçëm të Apelimit, në adresën: Bulevardi “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, nr.3. Tiranë.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 03.06.2025, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 49/2023, dated 27.10.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision  no. 696, dated 11.09.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Marsida Frashëri.

    During the verification of the presence of the parties, the presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania and Article 199 of the Civil Procedure Code have determined the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, represented in this case upon special authorization by the prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, present at the hearing.

    During the submission of the appeal grounds, the representative of the Special Prosecution Office maintained that he shares a different position from the Independent Qualification Commission that has confirmed the assessee in office, since her professional misconducts are such that they cannot be corrected by the training program of the School of Magistrates and that Mrs. Frashëri has seriously violated the public’s trust in the justice system.

    The assessee requested the Chamber the dismissal of the appeal of the Public Commissioner, since according to her, in violation of the Constitution, an appeal was filed against a decision that cannot be appealed, such as the interim decision of the Independent Qualification Commission that has decided to suspend from office Mrs. Marsida Frashëri for a period of 1 year and follow the training program of the School of Magistrates.

    Once the assessee responded to several questions of the case rapporteur in view of the examination of the case, the trial panel decided to close the judicial examination and invited the parties to present their final conclusions.

    The representative of the Special Prosecution Office stated that the he stands by his appeal, moreover, that the assessee did not dispute its essence. Mr. Klodian Braho opposed the position of the assessee on the invalidity of the appeal, arguing that the appeal of the Public Commissioner was filed against the final decision of the Independent Qualification Commission, the confirmation in office, while there is no legal provision on the claims raised by the assessee. The representative of the Special Prosecution Office requested finally the amendment of decision no. 696, dated 11.09.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Marsida Frashëri.

    The assessee finally requested the Appeal Chamber the dismissal of the appeal of decision no. 696, dated 11.09.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, as a decision that cannot be reviewed and cannot be appealed, and its upholding.

    After hearing the final conclusions of the parties, the trial panel withdrew in chambers to make the final decision, which it shall announce on 10.06.2025, at 15:00.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
