On 04.07.2024, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 71/2021, dated 17.11.2021, pertaining to the appeal of the assessee Sali Hasa against decision no. 433, dated 03.09.2021 of the Independent Qualification Commission.
The presiding judge informed that on 02.07.2024, the assessee had filed with the Chamber, in the form required by law, the acts refused to be accepted as evidence by the trial panel during the previous hearing, dated 24.06.2024, due to their failure of meeting the formal criteria.
The trial panel decided to accept these acts as evidence, as well as some other acts that the assessee submitted during today’s hearing in view of the examination of the case.
The trial panel rejected a request of the assessee, through which he requested that the Chamber proves the alleged financial circumstances of another person related to him, on grounds that in this proceedings, the burden of proof stands with the assessee who has to prove the legitimacy of the sources of income of the other related persons.
Once the legal representative of the assessee stated that there were no other procedural requirements, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited him to submit the final conclusions on the case.
Finally, the assessee requested the Chamber the amendment or the overruling of decision no. 433, dated 03.09.2021 of the Independent Qualification Commission, as he considers this decision unfair and in violation of constitutional and legal principles.
The trial panel decided to close the judicial review and withdrew in chambers to make the final decision of the case, to be announced on 08.07.2024, at 15:00.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
