Tonight's guest on the "Te Pashoq" podcast on the Pamflet YouTube channel is former prosecutor Ervin Karanxha. He commented on the trial against Erion Veliaj, while focusing on the clashes between the mayor and prosecutor Ols Dado.
-As you have seen the debates in court, Veliaj claims that prosecutor Ols Dado has offended him...
In this specific case, in addition to the court audio, it seems that there are recordings made by other people. It is alleged that he was called "filth", the insult must be seen whether it was made by the prosecutor talking to himself, or addressed to the person. If this insult exists, it constitutes an ethical violation. There may be disciplinary measures and the removal of this prosecutor from this case may be requested. Also, an expert, a professional, is needed to listen carefully to what was said.
-We take for granted that the prosecutor is professional, we dismiss Veliaj's claims for a moment, but the fact that it is being talked about so much loses the sense of professionalism.
The cases of prosecutor's exclusion are defined in the law. But I will add that in this case we have a concern of the prime minister who had allegations regarding the questioning of witnesses. The prime minister of Albania is the head of the government and has other sources. When he says this happened, it must be verified. The president of the country is saying it, not the opposition. They must be verified. There is a general principle that comes from Latin, justice must not only be given, but also seen. So we need conviction that it is inseparable.
-I refuted the claims...
Having so many claims, SPAK and other prosecutors who can replace him. A group of prosecutors can also be established. There are 20 prosecutors. With these claims, according to the principle it should be seen. The conviction has been created that it is biased, another prosecutor is needed.
- Is the conflict over the construction permit still ongoing?
It is alleged that he also exchanged messages. If you spoke on the phone now... You don't speak on the phone with the witness. You speak because of the procedure, for example, you call me. If there is a compromising message, the prosecutor should be removed. This permission issue should be looked into. If the prosecutor is interested, because if he intervened to get permission, we have a conflict of interest. But I am careful.
-Why are there charges against prosecutor Nanny, who was a notary?
According to the law of the time, you cannot become a prosecutor when you come from the field of notary. So, there were no legal criteria, it was done in violation of the law. The question that arises is who made this man? The main criterion is to graduate from the school of magistrates, so he has a dubious career. He was made a prosecutor by his former friend Ina Rama. Then, if this is true, it shows that the problem starts with the appointment. Because you cannot use the position for private interests. This appointment is in violation of the law. 2 laws have been violated, the Prosecution, but also the law on conflict of interest.
If you look at Ols Dado's career, it turns out that in 2010 he was appointed to the Pogradec Prosecutor's Office, then to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office Task Force, and then moved to the General Prosecutor's Office, passed Vetting, and passed through SPAK. So he does not have seniority according to the law because it shows a malfunction of Vetting and calls into question SPAK.
