The Appeal Chamber held on 13.03.2025, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 27/2024, dated 18.07.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 754, dated 05.04.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Mirela Mishgjoni.
During the verification of the presence of the parties, the presiding judge informed the parties that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has determined the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the head of the Special Prosecution Office, represented in this case upon special authorization by the prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office Mr. Adnan Xholi, present in this judicial proceedings.
Mr. Xholi submitted the appeal grounds on the asset assessment criterion, also in support of the IMO recommendation for filing the appeal, considering that the IQC decision is not in full compliance with the state of facts and evidence administered in the file, and that the assessee has failed to reach a reliable level in the assets assessment, making an incorrect and insufficient declaration, under Article D, paragraphs 3 and 5 of the Annex to the Constitution and Article 61, paragraph 3 and 5 of Law no. 84/2016. At the conclusion of his submissions, the prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Xholi, requested from the Chamber the consideration of the appeal grounds and the amendment of decision no. 754, dated 05.04.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Mirela Mishgjoni.
The assessee presented in detail her objections against the appeal grounds, regarding all the assets submitted in the Public Commissioner’s appeal, owned by the assessee and her related persons, acquired before and during the period of assuming office. In support of her claims, the assessee also lodged several documents, which she requested the trial panel to collect them in the capacity of evidence.
The trial panel, after being consulted, decided to open the judicial investigation of the case and to administer as evidence some of the written acts according to the minutes of today’s hearing, except for certain acts that may be accessed from open sources by the trial panel itself.
Given that the parties had no other requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited the parties to submit the final conclusions of the case, at the hearing dated March 19, 2025, at 08:30.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3. Tirana.
