During the submission of the appeal grounds that comprise all three evaluation criteria, the Public Commissioner introduced a financial analysis carried out by this institution, based on which, it is found that the assessee is in conditions of lack of full disclosure pursuant to Article 61, paragraph 3 and Article 33, paragraph 5, letter a) of Law 84/2016.

The Public Commissioner requested that the appeal grounds, the amendment of decision no. 112, dated 04.03.2019 and the dismissal of the assessee from office, be taken into consideration.

The assessee submitted his objections to the appeal lodged by the Public Commissioner, as well as requested the adjudication panel to reopen the judicial investigation and to administer as evidence, some new acts that he filed with the adjudication panel in function of the case review.

After withdrawing for consultation, upon an interim decision, the adjudication panel decided:

1- Reopening the investigation and allowing the collection  of three acts submitted by the assessee as evidence : – the letter from the National Housing Authority; the letter from the General Prosecutor’s Office for the disciplinary investigation addressed to the assessee and the financial analysis submitted by the assessee.

2- The adjudication panel shall make a decision regarding the request submitted by the Public Commissioner in the submissions in today’s hearing for a financial analysis to be carried out by the Appeal Chamber, after having heard the position of the Public Commissioner after reviewing the acts submitted by the assessee as evidence.
