The Appeal Chamber held on 21.07.2025, at 09:30, the public hearing of case (JR) 27/2023, dated 04.07.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 660, dated 16.05.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Majlinda Andrea.
During the verification of the presence of the parties, the presiding judge noted the presence of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, and the absence of the assessee, Ms. Majlinda Andrea, failing to attend as well the previous hearing.
Following the interim decision made during the hearing dated 14.07.2025, the presiding judge informed the court that the Appeal Chamber has received the response of the High Judicial Council (HJC), which confirms the non-issuance of an act declaring the termination of the magistrate status for the assessee Majlinda Andrea, such a response forwarded to the parties.
When questioned for a position regarding this response, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, stated that he make a statement in the final conclusions.
The trial panel decided to administer as evidence the HJC’s response and closed the judicial investigation of the case.
During the submission of the final conclusions, Mr. Braho stated that the High Judicial Council stated in its response that there is no decision to terminate the magistrate status for Ms. Majlinda Andrea, which means that the institutions of ordinary constitutional disciplinary jurisdiction have failed to exercise the powers to conduct an investigation and disciplinary proceedings with the aim of dismissing from office the assessee and losing the status of magistrate. Mr. Braho concluded that these institutions are found in a state of inaction, and finally requested the Chamber to decide the amendment of decision no. 660, dated 16.05.2023; to declare the vetting process for Ms. Majlinda Andrea completed without a final decision, due to the loss of the status of magistrate.
The trial panel decided to close the judicial review and withdrew in chambers to make the final decision, which it will announce on 23.07.2025, at 15:00.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
