Today, on 20.06.2022, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 55/2021, dated 04.10.2021, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 392, dated 28.05.2021, of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Natasha Prifti (Shallapi).
The Public Commissioner, during the submission of the appeal grounds held that the assessee is found in terms of inaccurate, insufficient and inconsistent declaration for the asset assessment, failing to reach a reliable level for her confirmation in office. The Public Commissioner requested the Chamber to consider the grounds of the appeal and after conducting a thorough evaluation of the case, to decide the amendment of decision no. 392, dated 28.05.2021, of the Independent Qualification Commission and dismissal from office of the assessee Natasha Prifti (Shallapi).
The legal representative of the assessee objected the Public Commissioner’s appeal grounds, claiming that the assessee is not found in the conditions of insufficient declaration for the asset assessment, but reaches a reliable level for her confirmation in office. To support his claims, the legal representative included in the rebuttals a financial analysis that he submitted with the Chamber. The assessee requested the Chamber to consider fair decision no. 392, dated 28.05.2021, of the Independent Qualification Commission – according to which, the assessee reaches a reliable level for the asset and background assessee, as well as a qualifying level for the proficiency assessment – and to uphold this decision.
Once the assessee, Mrs. Prifti responded to some explanatory questions of the rapporteur to the purpose of the review of the case, and as the parties stated that they had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited the parties to file their final conclusions.
Given that the Public Commissioner requested additional time for the preparation of the final conclusions, the trial panel decided to postpone the hearing until 27.06.2022, at 14:00.
The public hearing will take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
