Documents and career records show that Bashari did not meet the 15-year seniority criterion as a lawyer, required by law, when she was elected Inspector General in December 2020.
Evgjeni Bashari, today Inspector General of the HIDACCI, has made a false declaration before the Albanian Parliament that she met the legal conditions and criteria for this position, specifically the 15-year seniority as a lawyer provided for by article 12, letter "b" of law no. 9049, dated 10.4.2003, "On the declaration and control of assets...", as amended.
According to official records and published biography, Bashari graduated from the Faculty of Law in 2004 and a master's degree in Romania in 2007. Her career until December 2020 clearly shows that she does not have 15 full years of work as a lawyer. In 2005, she worked as a secretary at the School of Magistrates, a position that does not require a legal profile and cannot be counted as legal experience. In 2006, she was an archivist-librarian specialist at the Supreme Court, also a non-legal position.
From 2007 to the end of 2012, there is no precise data on her employment, except for the fact that she was engaged in the library and publications sector at the High Court. Only in December 2012 was she appointed as a legal assistant to Judge Mirela Fana, where she worked until 2015. From 2015 to 2020, she was at the HIDAKKI, but the specific functions during this period need to be specified to confirm whether they are all related to the practice of the legal profession.
Even if these periods are counted, in December 2020, when she was elected head of the HIDACCI, Bashari had no more than 8 clear years of work as a lawyer, far from the 15 years required by law. The law makes a clear distinction between seniority in the required profession and general seniority, where only social contributions are taken into account.
This is not the first time that such legal criteria have been ignored.
In 2014, the Parliament dismissed Zana Xhuka from office for lack of seniority in the profession.
Luan Daci's case for false declaration ended with criminal prosecution.
Likewise, Helena Papa's candidacy for the Constitutional Court was rejected by the Judicial Appointments Council and the Administrative Court of Appeal, precisely for this criterion.
The fact that the Albanian Parliament accepted a candidacy that did not meet the basic legal criteria raises doubts about the selection process and the formal control over the candidates' data. /Pamphlet
