    The Appeal Chamber held on 04.12.2025, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 45/2023, dated 12.10.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 682, dated 10.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Enklid Gjini.

    The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer 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. Klodjan Braho, present at the hearing.

    During the submission of the appeal grounds, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodjan Braho, stated that the assessee is found in terms of inaccurate and insufficient declaration of assets, and his statements in the vetting declarations are inconsistent and fictitious, whereas with regard to the proficiency assessment criterion, he requested the Chamber to take into consideration, within the framework of the overall evaluation for all three criteria, the findings in the appeal regarding the undertaking of investigative actions by the assessee during the exercise of his office. As to the background assessment criterion, Mr. Klodjan Braho stated that, based on the referral of law enforcement agencies, the Independent Qualification Commission has failed to fully and comprehensively investigate two criminal proceedings administered by the assessee, in order to exclude the eventuality of the situation of the assessee being found in terms of the application of Article 61, paragraph 5 of Law no. 84/2016, violating public trust in the justice system.

    The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that during the AC proceedings, the assessee has the right to file additional evidence and arguments challenging the appeal, but referring to the current state of the acts, Mr. Braho requested the amendment of the decision no. 682, dated 10.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Enklid Gjini.

    The assessee provided detailed explanations regarding the appeal, objecting to it as unfounded in law and evidence, as a selective, unsubstantiated reading that fails to pass the test of provability and proportionality. The assessee requested the opening of a judicial investigation, requesting the Appeal Chamber to administer as evidence new acts in support of his claims.

    With regard to the denunciations, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office and the assessee shared the same position that they contain no circumstances for further investigations.

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation, collected as evidence the acts submitted by the assessee attached to the submissions and the acts lodged in today’s hearing, except for the act “Document of the American Investment Bank”, which is part of the file.

    With regard to the complaints, the trial panel decided not to investigate further, as there are no circumstances that meet the requirements of Article 53, Law 84/2026.

    With respect to the background assessment criterion, the trial panel decided to be acquainted directly with the classified information, made known to the Independent Qualification Commission within the framework of the case, at the law enforcement institutions that administer it.

    Once the assessee responded to several questions of the International Observer of the International Monitoring Operation in view of the examination of the case, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation and upon an interim decision, decided to postpone the judicial hearing to 15.12.2025, at 09:00, inviting the parties to be prepared for the final conclusions. In the context of clarity for the preparation of the final conclusions, the trial panel invited the Head of the Special Prosecution, or his authorized representative, if they deem it necessary, to access for consultation at the premises of the Chamber the classified file in charge of the assessee, administered in the IQC file, as an integral part of it, or any other action that they will consider necessary in order to clarify the final investigation.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 04.12.2025, at 13:00, the public hearing of case (JR)17/2024, dated 21.05.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Dritan Nushi.

    The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer 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. Klodjan Braho, present at the hearing.

    During the submission of the appeal grounds related to the proficiency assessment, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, referring to the criminal proceedings administered by the assessee during the exercise of his office, maintained that there were shortcomings in the evaluation of evidence, legal reasoning, and in the undertaking of appropriate investigative actions. According to Mr. Braho, the approach of the assessee on the failure of implementation of the legislation in force regarding an illegal construction on a property in his use, such omission contrary to the ethics of the prosecutor, as well as the inconsistent statements of the assessee regarding a purchased property, registered by his parents, which have led to the objective incapacity to review the sources of its creation, should be taken into consideration by the Appeal Chamber in an overall evaluation of all three criteria and, referring to Article 61, paragraph 5 of Law 84/2016, the violation of public trust in the justice system.

    The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that during the AC proceedings, the assessee has the right to file additional evidence and arguments challenging the appeal, but referring to the current state of the acts, Mr. Braho requested the amendment of the decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 and the dismissal from office of the assessee Dritan Nushi.

    The assessee opposed the appeal of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office as unsupported in evidence and law, as a biased and fragmented interpretation, as well as lacking legal arguments to overturn the decision of the Independent Qualification Commission that confirmed him in office. The assessee and his legal representative provided detailed explanations disputing the appeal grounds, and in support of their claims filed several acts, which they requested to be admitted as evidence. The assessee requested the Chamber the dismissal of the appeal, the opening of the judicial investigation of the case in order to obtain new evidence and the upholding of decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    With regard to the complaints, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that they contain no grounds for further investigations, a position shared by the assessee.

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation of the case, accepting as evidence the acts lodged by the assessee, except for the ones already part of the file of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    With respect to the complaints, after hearing the positions of the parties and being acquainted with the acts attached to them, the trial panel decided not to undertake further investigations, since the circumstances of Article 53 of Law 84/2016 are not met, while for one of them it was assessed that its further investigation is contrary to the provisions of Article E, paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Constitution.

    Once the parties declared that they had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation, inviting the parties to submit their final conclusions at the next hearing to be held on 16.12.2025, at 09:00.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 05.12.2025, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 18/2024, dated 24.05.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 738, dated 22.02.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Gëzim Çopa.

    During the submission of the final conclusions, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Adnan Xholi, stood by the appeal grounds and stated that during the AC proceedings, the assessee filed no new act to prove the opposite of the burden of proof, being found in terms of incorrect and insufficient declaration and lack of legitimate financial sources to justify the creation of his assets. The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that the investigative activity of the assessee during the exercise of his office affects the proficiency assessment criterion and requested that the issues in the findings evidenced in the appeal be evaluated by the Chamber also in relation to the background assessment criterion, according to Article 4, paragraph 2 of Law 84/2016, in the framework of Article 61, paragraph 5 of this very law. Finally, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office requested the amendment of decision no. 738, dated 22.02.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Gëzim Çopa.

    The assessee stated that following his explanations, based on the evidence in the case file and during the AC proceedings, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office should not have stood by the appeal grounds, since the acts have dispelled the burden of proof. Finally, the assessee requested the Chamber the dismissal of the appeal filed by the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, as unfounded in evidence and law and the upholding of decision no. 738, dated 22.02.2024 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 shall be announced on 16.12.2025, at 15:00.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 04.12.2025, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 45/2023, dated 12.10.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 682, dated 10.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Enklid Gjini.

    The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer 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. Klodjan Braho, present at the hearing.

    During the submission of the appeal grounds, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodjan Braho, stated that the assessee is found in terms of inaccurate and insufficient declaration of assets, and his statements in the vetting declarations are inconsistent and fictitious, whereas with regard to the proficiency assessment criterion, he requested the Chamber to take into consideration, within the framework of the overall evaluation for all three criteria, the findings in the appeal regarding the undertaking of investigative actions by the assessee during the exercise of his office. As to the background assessment criterion, Mr. Klodjan Braho stated that, based on the referral of law enforcement agencies, the Independent Qualification Commission has failed to fully and comprehensively investigate two criminal proceedings administered by the assessee, in order to exclude the eventuality of the situation of the assessee being found in terms of the application of Article 61, paragraph 5 of Law no. 84/2016, violating public trust in the justice system.

    The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that during the AC proceedings, the assessee has the right to file additional evidence and arguments challenging the appeal, but referring to the current state of the acts, Mr. Braho requested the amendment of the decision no. 682, dated 10.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Enklid Gjini.

    The assessee provided detailed explanations regarding the appeal, objecting to it as unfounded in law and evidence, as a selective, unsubstantiated reading that fails to pass the test of provability and proportionality. The assessee requested the opening of a judicial investigation, requesting the Appeal Chamber to administer as evidence new acts in support of his claims.

    With regard to the denunciations, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office and the assessee shared the same position that they contain no circumstances for further investigations.

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation, collected as evidence the acts submitted by the assessee attached to the submissions and the acts lodged in today’s hearing, except for the act “Document of the American Investment Bank”, which is part of the file.

    With regard to the complaints, the trial panel decided not to investigate further, as there are no circumstances that meet the requirements of Article 53, Law 84/2026.

    With respect to the background assessment criterion, the trial panel decided to be acquainted directly with the classified information, made known to the Independent Qualification Commission within the framework of the case, at the law enforcement institutions that administer it.

    Once the assessee responded to several questions of the International Observer of the International Monitoring Operation in view of the examination of the case, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation and upon an interim decision, decided to postpone the judicial hearing to 15.12.2025, at 09:00, inviting the parties to be prepared for the final conclusions. In the context of clarity for the preparation of the final conclusions, the trial panel invited the Head of the Special Prosecution, or his authorized representative, if they deem it necessary, to access for consultation at the premises of the Chamber the classified file in charge of the assessee, administered in the IQC file, as an integral part of it, or any other action that they will consider necessary in order to clarify the final investigation.

    The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    During the submission of the final conclusions, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodjan Braho stated that the assessee is found in terms of incorrect and insufficient declaration of assets and that his claims to the contrary of the appeal grounds remain at a declarative level and unsupported by the acts of the case file. The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office ultimately requested the Appeal Chamber the amendment of decision no. 689, dated 24.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee Ervin Pollozhani.

    The assessee disputed the appeal grounds and the document “findings and opinion” submitted by the International Observer of the International Monitoring Operation and finally requested the Chamber the upholding of decision no. 689, dated 24.07.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, which according to him, is supported on law and evidence, following a complete, exhaustive and argumentative investigation.

    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 15.12.2025, at 15:00.

    The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer 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 at the hearing.

    During the verification of the presence of the parties, the presiding judge noted the presence of the assessee, Mimoza Margjeka, informing the court that her legal representative had submitted a request with the Appeal Chamber, through which she requested the postponement of the hearing due to her objective inability to participate therein and carry out the defense process.

    In his position regarding this request, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office expressed his agreement to the acceptance of the request, if the assessee considers important the presence of the legal representative.

    Once the trial panel heard the position of the assessee who deemed necessary the presence of the legal representative in the defense process, the trial panel decided to accept the request and postpone the hearing to 15.12.2025, at 13:00, to provide Ms. Margjeka the opportunity to conduct her defense, avoiding the delay of the trial of the case.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 04.12.2025, at 13:00, the public hearing of case (JR)17/2024, dated 21.05.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Dritan Nushi.

    The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer 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. Klodjan Braho, present at the hearing.

    During the submission of the appeal grounds related to the proficiency assessment, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, referring to the criminal proceedings administered by the assessee during the exercise of his office, maintained that there were shortcomings in the evaluation of evidence, legal reasoning, and in the undertaking of appropriate investigative actions. According to Mr. Braho, the approach of the assessee on the failure of implementation of the legislation in force regarding an illegal construction on a property in his use, such omission contrary to the ethics of the prosecutor, as well as the inconsistent statements of the assessee regarding a purchased property, registered by his parents, which have led to the objective incapacity to review the sources of its creation, should be taken into consideration by the Appeal Chamber in an overall evaluation of all three criteria and, referring to Article 61, paragraph 5 of Law 84/2016, the violation of public trust in the justice system.

    The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that during the AC proceedings, the assessee has the right to file additional evidence and arguments challenging the appeal, but referring to the current state of the acts, Mr. Braho requested the amendment of the decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 and the dismissal from office of the assessee Dritan Nushi.

    The assessee opposed the appeal of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office as unsupported in evidence and law, as a biased and fragmented interpretation, as well as lacking legal arguments to overturn the decision of the Independent Qualification Commission that confirmed him in office. The assessee and his legal representative provided detailed explanations disputing the appeal grounds, and in support of their claims filed several acts, which they requested to be admitted as evidence. The assessee requested the Chamber the dismissal of the appeal, the opening of the judicial investigation of the case in order to obtain new evidence and the upholding of decision no. 735, dated 31.01.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    With regard to the complaints, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that they contain no grounds for further investigations, a position shared by the assessee.

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation of the case, accepting as evidence the acts lodged by the assessee, except for the ones already part of the file of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    With respect to the complaints, after hearing the positions of the parties and being acquainted with the acts attached to them, the trial panel decided not to undertake further investigations, since the circumstances of Article 53 of Law 84/2016 are not met, while for one of them it was assessed that its further investigation is contrary to the provisions of Article E, paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Constitution.

    Once the parties declared that they had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation, inviting the parties to submit their final conclusions at the next hearing to be held on 16.12.2025, at 09:00.
