Today, on 01.04.2021, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of the case (JR) 46/2019, dated 25.09.2019, corresponding to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 161, dated 18.06.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission related to the assessee Kastriot Selita.

Pursuant to the tasks assigned by the Appeal Chamber trial panel in the previous hearing, the Public Commissioner stated his submissions regarding the content of new acts filed by the assessee and the public denunciations submitted with the Appeal Chamber. The Public Commissioner deemed that even after the new acts, the assessee fails to be convincing regarding the assets assessment and proficiency assessment criteria. He asked the Appeal Chamber to conduct further investigations for the purpose of the appeal grounds, and specifically he requested that the public denunciations be taken into consideration while assessing the proficiency criterion.

The assessee stated that regarding the claims stated by the Public Commissioner, he shall state his position in the next hearing and submitted two new acts and asked the trial panel of the Appeal Chamber to collect them as evidence.

After hearing the submission of the Public Commissioner and of the assessee, upon an interim decision, the trial panel decided:

– To declare the opening of the judicial investigation of the case pursuant to Article F, paragraph 3 of the Annex to the Constitution and Article 45 of law 84/2016.

– Pursuant to Article 53 of Law 84/2016, to investigate and verify some of the public denunciations submitted with the Appeal Chamber.

– To accept and collect the new evidence submitted by the assessee in the hearing of 17 March 2021 and in today’s hearing, dated April 1, 2021.

– To request additional information and explanatory information from: the High Court, the Administrative Court of Appeal, First Instance Administrative Court Tirana, First Instance Administrative Court Durrës, First Instance Administrative Court Vlora, State Cadastrial Agency Tirana Office, Intesa San Paolo Bank
