Given that the assessee Mr. Agim Bendo was not present in the hearing, his legal representative was heard by the trial panel as he submitted his objections to paragraph 2 of decision no. 216, dated 04.12.2019, upon which “the assessee loses the right to be appointed a judge or prosecutor of any level, a member of the High Judicial Council or the High Prosecution Council, Senior Judicial Inspector or Prosecutor General, for a period of 15 years”.
For the purpose of the case review, the legal representative submitted two acts, which were accepted as evidence by the trial panel.
After the presiding judge declared the conclusion of the judicial investigation of the case, the legal representative stated his final request, that: be reflected clearly the real ground upon which the assessee has been dismissed from office, which is that of retirement, and based on this ground, or non-application or, alternatively, restriction of the measure in accordance with the rights that the law itself grants to the assessee: the exercise of duties and functions not beyond the defined age in the law.
At the end of this hearing, the presiding judge declared its adjournment in order to announce and deliver the final decision of the case: today, on 22 December 2020, at 13:45.
The public hearing shall be held at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at: Bulevardi: Dëshmorët e Kombit”, nr.3. Tirana.
