The Appeal Chamber held on 22.04.2025, at 11:30, the public hearing of case (JR) 41/2024, dated 21.10.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 762, dated 15.05.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Afrim Shehu.
During the submission of the final conclusions, the representative of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, stated that the assessee is found in terms of incorrect and insufficient declaration of assets, according to the provisions of Article 61, paragraph 3 of Law no. 84/2016 and in conclusion he requested the Chamber the amendment of decision no. 762, dated 15.05.2024, of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee, Mr. Afrim Shehu.
The legal representative of the assessee challenged the appeal as unfounded in law and evidence and requested the trial panel to take into account the fact that inaccuracies in the declaration of assets, supported also on the principle of proportionality, cannot constitute circumstances that undermine the credibility of the assessee for the asset assessment criterion. The legal representative finally requested the Chamber the upholding of decision no. 762, dated 762, dated 15.05.2024, of the Independent Qualification Commission.
After hearing the final conclusions of the parties, the trial panel decided to close the judicial review of the case and withdrew in chambers to make the final decision, which it shall announce on 08.05.2025, at 14:30.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
