The Appeal Chamber held on 04.11.2025, at 13:30, the public hearing of case (JR) 6/2024, dated 14.02.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 724, dated 13.12.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Arben Agovi.
During the submissions of the final conclusions, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodjan Braho stated that there are deficiencies found in terms of the prosecutor’s proficiency, the conduct of incomplete investigations and exceeding of the deadlines, but to not such a level that they would affect the resolution of the case. Mr. Klodjan Braho stated that even with regard to the asset assessment criterion, based on the principle of proportionality and objectivity, the financial insufficiency found in covering the assets with legitimate sources does not amount to that level that it could lead to the measure of dismissal from office. In the context of the above, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office finally requested the Appeal Chamber the amendment of decision no. 724, dated 13.12.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, the suspension from office for a period of one year and the obligation to follow the training program, according to the curricula approved by the School of Magistrates.
During the submission of the final conclusions, the legal representative of the assessee stated that during the proceedings held at the Chamber, the assessee, through convincing and exhaustive explanations, proved that the investigative actions undertaken by him were not only complete and in a timely fashion, but were decisive for the fair resolution of the cases.
The assessee’s legal representative maintained that considering that the appeal fails to identify concrete shortcomings and sufficient grounds that would influence a negative assessment for the assessee, requested finally the Chamber the upholding of decision no. 724, dated 13.12.2023 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 12.11.2025, at 09:30.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
