A discredited report by the National Authority for Classified Information Security, AKSIK, which describes the elected judge member of the Constitutional Court as a spy or secret agent, is being used, according to him, for a smear campaign.
The election of Supreme Court judge Asim Vokshi as the newest member of the Constitutional Court is being accompanied by a fierce battle of public accusations in the media.
At the center of this debate is a report by the national television channel Top Channel, dated November 9, 2025, which claims that the chairman of the Judicial Appointments Council, KED, Sokol Sadushi, has "hidden" compromising information from the Supreme Court, according to which Judge Vokshi was "an informant or agent of intelligence services."
According to Top Channel, this information, coming from AKSIK, constituted a prohibitive criterion for the selection of Vokshi as a member of the Constitutional Court.
The television claims in its reporting that the KED, headed by the head of the Supreme Court, Sokol Sadushi, did not fulfill its duty to verify the AKSIK report.
"The data was not evaluated, not seen and overlooked," Top Channel reported on Sunday.
Judge Asim Vokshi described Top Channel's accusations as untrue and an attempt to prevent his appointment to the Constitutional Court.
"The fact that it is becoming a scoop now speaks for itself about the malicious and illegal intentions that I have to face, just because someone doesn't like my profile for the Constitutional Court," he said.
What makes the situation even more strange is that the documents themselves published by the television – a facsimile of the KED's decision-making – contradict its reporting, while showing that the Council not only verified the AKSIK document, but also conducted an administrative investigation and dismissed it as unfounded.
KED also reacted on Monday, calling Top Channel's reporting untrue.
"This publication is based on false data, obtained from dubious sources, bordering on criminal violations," the media release states.
Contacted by BIRN, Top Channel's information director, Robert Rakipllari, said that the television station stood by the truthfulness of its reporting.
The clash for the Constitutional Court election
When a vacancy arises, the Supreme Court announces a call for applications and the KED evaluates candidates who meet the legal requirements and professional criteria, including over 15 years of experience in the field of justice, moral and ethical integrity, and the absence of political connections or criminal convictions.
Nëse Gjykata e Lartë nuk arrin shumicën 3/5 për zgjedhjen e një anëtari të Gjykatës Kushtetuese brenda afatit 30-ditor, kandidati i renditur i pari në listën e Këshillit të Emërimeve në Drejtësi shpallet automatikisht i zgjedhur.
Gjyqtari Asim Vokshi u shpall fitues i pozicionit vakant në Gjykatë Kushtetuese më 30 shtator. Nga votimi i fshehtë në Gjykatën e Lartë, kandidatja Naureda Llagami kishte siguruar 8 vota, Vokshi 6 vota, ndërsa një votë u shpall e pavlefshme. Me arsyetimin se asnjëri nuk arriti të sigurojë 3/5 e votave, u shpall fitues Vokshi, i cili në pikëzimin e KED kishte siguruar vendin e parë.
Pikëzimi nga KED, një organ kolegjial me 9 anëtarë i përbërë nga gjytarë e prokurorë të të gjitha niveleve përfshi 2 anëtarë të Gjykatës Kushtetuese dhe që është përgjegjës për verifikimin e kushteve ligjore, integritetit dhe vlerësimin profesional të kandidatëve për Gjykatën Kushtetuese, është një nga ndryshimet thelbësore të reformës në drejtësi.
KED është vlerësuesi i kandidatëve për në Kushtetuese dhe pikëzimi e bën të pamundur që organet emëruese, Parlamenti, Presidenti dhe Gjykata e Lartë të bllokojnë procesin.
Ndërkohë, në rastin e Vokshit që u përzgjodh nga pikëzimi, konkurrentja e tij Llagami ngriti pretendime për votën e pavlefshme, me argumentin se vullneti i zgjedhësit ishte i qartë në favor të saj.
Ajo u ankua fillimisht në Gjykatën Administrative dhe më pas edhe në Gjykatën Kushtetuese me kërkesë për pezullimin e zbatimit të vendimit që shpalli fitues Vokshin.
Gjykatat Kushtetuese do ta shqyrtojë të martën 11 nëntor ankesën e LLagamit. Gjykata Administrative shpalli moskompetencë. E pyetur nga BIRN për procedurën e KED, Llagami tha se: “Nuk kam asnjë informacion dhe nuk kam si të kem informacion. Kjo është retorikë e mediave”.
Lidhur me votën e pavlefshme, Gjykata e Lartë këmbënguli në vendimmarrje të drejtë. Ajo sqaroi se vota e pavlefshme për Llagamin kishte shenjë të dytë që cënonte fshehtësinë e saj.
“Ky parim cilësohet si një garanci substanciale që siguron që asnjë gjyqtar të mos ndjehet i ekspozuar, i identifikueshëm apo i ndikuar nga mënyra si voton”, arsytoi Gjykata e Lartë në një deklaratë për shtyp.
Raporti kontradiktor i Top Channel
Burimi i raportit që po përdoret në këtë përplasje është Autoriteti Kombëtar për Sigurinë e Informacionit të Klasifikuar (AKSIK), një institucion në varësi të Kryeministrit.
AKSIK, i njohur më parë si DSIK, është një nga institucionet kryesore që u përdor në procesin e vetingut për kontrollin e figurës së gjyqtarëve dhe prokurorëve, duke verifikuar nëse ata kanë pasur kontakte të papërshtatshme me krimin e organizuar.
Megjithatë, gjatë procesit të vetingut, më shumë se një herë, raportet e ardhura nga ky institucion u rrëzuan si të pabaza nga Komisioni i Pavarur i Kualifikimit apo Kolegji i Posaçëm i Apelimit.
Në disa raste, AKSIK dështoi të raportonte problemet e figurës së magjistratëve, që u gjetën më pas nga hetimet administrative.
In its initial publication on November 9, Top Channel insisted that it had documents proving that KED had allowed Vokshi's participation in the competition, even though, according to it, before the decision was made, there was information that the judge was ineligible.
"But despite all the information that should have been read later by the KED as a prohibitive criterion, the data was not evaluated, not seen and overlooked during the evaluation, and judge Asim Vokshi was listed on June 17, 2025 to continue the competition," the report dated November 9 said.
But a facsimile published by the television itself on Monday, November 10, which allegedly "confirms the transmission of secret data to the senior judge," actually refers to the opposite.
The facsimile makes it clear that the information came after the KED's decision to allow Vokshi to compete, taken on June 17, and it also states that the KED and its members had conducted the required investigations and verifications.
"In order to verify the above information, the Judicial Appointments Council conducted the necessary administrative investigative activity for the specific case... including direct meetings of certain members of the Judicial Appointments Council with representatives of law enforcement institutions," reads the passage of the facsimile that Top Channel published.
The KED states there that after this process, it was decided that the decision-making to allow Vokshi to run in the Constitutional Court was not affected.
"We are not faced with the conditions for reviewing Decision No. 14, dated 17.06.2025," states the document referenced by the media - which the latter has read as evidence for the claims raised.
When asked by BIRN, Vokshi said he saw himself facing an “orchestrated smear campaign, which has only one goal – to tarnish the process and delegitimize it.”
He noted that his image had been verified twice more in the last five years, during the vetting process and when he ran for the Supreme Court.
"I vetoed the vetting process and also the competition procedure for the Supreme Court, and I have never had even the slightest clue or suspicion about such hallucinatory allusions," he said.
KED reacted on Monday, calling the report untrue and in violation of legislation.
"Yesterday's publication constitutes an irresponsible act, which seriously violates the integrity of magistrates," said KED.
“The dissemination of classified data or its distorted interpretation constitutes a violation of the law and undermines public trust in constitutional institutions,” the Council concluded. / BIRN
