Today, on 28.09.2023, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 10/2023, dated 07.03.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 595, dated 07.12.2022, of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Arbër Çela.
During the submission of the appeal grounds, the Public Commissioner stated that the assessee, Mr. Arbër Çela, is found in terms of incorrect and insufficient declaration of assessee, as well as lack of legitimate sources for the creation of his income. In reference to the recommendation of the International Monitoring Operation, the Public Commissioner filed circumstances and facts, which she requested to be taken into consideration by the Chamber in the context of the proficiency assessment of the assessee, as well as on the overall assessment of the case. The Public Commissioner held that the assessee fails to reach a reliable level for confirmation in office and requested the amendment of decision no. 595, dated 07.12.2022, of the Independent Qualification Commission, and the dismissal from office of the assessee, Mr. Arber Cela.
The assessee and his legal representative contested as unfounded in law and evidence any doubt raised in the Public Commissioner’s appeal grounds regarding the asset and proficiency assessment. In support of his claims that he reaches a reliable level for confirmation in office for the three vetting criteria, the assessee filed some new documents, which he requested to be accepted as evidence by the court.
In order to decide on the continuation of the trial, the trial panel decided to postpone the hearing to 04.10.2023, at 13:00.
The public hearing shall take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
