The High Council of Prosecution, KLP approved on Tuesday, June 27, with 10 votes of the members present, the draft acts for the ranking of candidates for three vacant positions in the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana, where in all three cases the prosecutor of Vlora, Eranda, was ranked first on the list. Felay.
She is the sister and fourth member of the family of the deputy of the Socialist Party, Ermonela Felaj, who is expected to be appointed to the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana.
During the last four years, three family members of MP Felaj have already been appointed to the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana. In March 2019, the KLP decided to appoint as a prosecutor in Tirana through a controversial procedure the husband of the deputy, Bledar Valikaj, without first going through the vetting process. Just a few months later, in May 2019, the General Prosecutor's Office selected, after a competitive procedure, the deputy's brother, Armando Felaj, as a judicial police officer in the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana. At the plenary meeting on May 29, the draft act was approved for the transfer of the latter's wife, Alma Felaj, from the Prosecutor's Office of Durrës to that of Tirana.
The approval of the ranking of Felaj first in the list of candidates for the three vacant positions in the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana was carried out after discussions among the members of the KLP. Member Sokol Stojani noted that the brother, brother-in-law and sister-in-law of prosecutor Eranda Felaj have already been appointed to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office.
" I am worried that four family members in one prosecutor's office is 'too much' ," he said.
" We are dealing with many people within the family. my concern is the perception that is created that a family exercises the function in an institution ", added Stojani.
Asked by the chairman of the KLP, Alfred Balla, if the concern was moral or legal, Stojani remarked that from a formal point of view there can be no problems, but it should be seen from a wider perspective.
"If you place four family members in a smaller prosecutor's office like that of Kukes or any other prosecutor's office, then it affects all state structures and private entities," said Stojani, presenting a possible situation based on this practice.
"Let's stop a little wider. With the competence that the prosecutor has today, they become very powerful", continued Stojani, although he emphasized that he agreed with the maximum evaluation of Eranda Felaj.
The rapporteur of the draft acts, Eloida Goxhi, said that Felaj has submitted the form regarding the lack of environmental incompatibility to the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana. Although she admitted that Stojani's concern remains, she noted that it is the legal definition that allows the candidacy and the continuation of the appointment procedure.
"We have nothing to do," she said.
