Today, on 29.04.2021, at 15:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of the case (JR) 55/2019, dated 29.10.2019, corresponding to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 173, dated 01.07.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission related to the assessee Artan Madani.

While stating his position regarding the acts received from Greece as required by the law, accepted in the quality of evidence by the trial panel in the anterior hearing, the Public Commissioner held that they do not prove any circumstances different from the circumstances portrayed in the appeal grounds filed by him and do not affect his position on the case.

After the litigants confirmed that they had no additional requests, the presiding judge declared the conclusion of the judicial investigation of the case and invited the parties to state their final conclusions.

During the submission of the final conclusions, the Public Commissioner stated that even after the filing of new evidence, the assessee failed to prove the contrary of the appeal grounds regarding the asset assessment pillar. The Public Commissioner requested the amendment of decision no. 173, dated 01.07.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission and dismissal from office of the assessee Artan Madani.

The legal representative of the assessee objected the conclusions of the Public Commissioner, stating that the evidence submitted by the assessee during the entire process, clearly show the lawful source of the creation of his assets. The assessee asked the Appeal Chamber to uphold the decision no. 173, dated 01.07.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission.

Following the final submissions of the litigants, the trial panel withdrew to render the final decision, which shall be delivered on 12.05.2021, at 10:00.

The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Special Appeal Chamber, at: Bulevardi “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, nr.3. Tirana.
