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 to transfer the procedural role 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. The legal representative of the assessee, authorized upon a power of attorney, filed a request for postponement of the hearing in order to expect the conclusion of the trial of the criminal case against the assessee at the Special Court of Appeal for Corruption and Organized Crime, on 10.10.2025, since according to him, this decision would affect the position they would take in the case before the Appeal Chamber. After hearing the position of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, who expressed his support for the continuation of the trial, the panel decided to dismiss the request, inviting the parties to continue with their submissions. The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office held that given the new circumstance, the criminal prosecution of the assessee, he requested the Chamber the reopening of the judicial investigation of the case, with the aim of addressing the relevant institutions for updating the information to assess whether the assessee reaches a reliable level for confirmation in office based on the three assessment criteria, assets, background and proficiency. The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office requested, alternatively, the amendment of decision no. 779, dated 28.06.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission or its upholding. The legal representative of the assessee provided his explanations with respect to the appeal and left in the Chamber’s assessment the request to address the institutions for updated information, emphasizing cases when this information would not affect the case under trial. The legal representative requested the upholding of decision no. 779, dated 28.06.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission. The trial panel, after hearing the submissions of the parties and the request of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution, pursuant to Article F, paragraph 3 of the Annex to the Constitution, and Articles 45 and 49/1 of Law no. 84/2016, decided: – to reopen the judicial investigation of the case, requesting the updated report from the National Agency of Classified Security Information (AKSIK), on the background check for the assessee Aurel Zarka. – to request investigative materials on the two criminal proceedings to the Prosecution Office at Vlora Court of First Instance and the Special Court of Appeal against Corruption and Organized Crime.

The presiding judge announced that following the interim decision of the previous hearing, the trial panel had been directly acquainted with the classified information at the law enforcement institutions, also made known to the Independent Qualification Commission in the context of the case. Once the parties declared that they had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited them to present their final conclusions. The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Klodian Braho, held that, even after being acquainted with the new evidence, the undertaking of investigative actions by the assessee in some cases remains unsubstantiated and unclear. Mr. Braho requested the Chamber to take into consideration the findings, to evaluate them in relation to the classified information with which it has become acquainted and, alternatively, to decide the amendment or the upholding of decision no. 704, dated 09.10.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission. The presiding judge of the trial panel requested the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecutor’s Office if he could present a final and not an alternative request on the case. Mr. Braho stated that he comes with this alternative request, as he has not been acquainted with the classified information of the law enforcement agencies. The legal representative of the assessee maintained that this alternative request of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office identified no violation of procedural or substantive law, contains no alleged violated norm, final request or argumentation based on facts. After being consulted, the trial panel decided to request the Head of the Special Prosecution Office and his representative to submit a specific, single request, without alternatives, for the decision under consideration, inviting them, if they deem it necessary, to access for consultation in the premises of the Chamber the classified file of the assessee, administered in the IQC file, as an integral part of it. For this reason, the public hearing was postponed to 13.10.2025, at 10:00. This hearing will be held at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
