The majority has shelved SPAK's demands. No addressing of legal changes and reduction of reports...
Politics has surrounded the Special Prosecution Office. Although both Rama and Berisha and Meta have reduced the dose of attacks on the anti-corruption body, in fact, behind the scenes, the turmoil continues. The alarm was sounded by SPAK itself, in its annual report for the past year.
The Prime Minister comes out and brags to us that without him there would be no SPAK and no justice reform, but in fact the reality is different. Babloku has left the Special Prosecution Office to its fate.
For more than 2 years, SPAK has been requesting legal changes to clearly define the status of prosecutors, whether they will be allowed the right to re-run after 9 years or not. But this request has remained on the shelf and in the report, SPAK has requested that politics separate the 'stone from the stone'.
" The problem remains the continued lack of a clear legal definition regarding the status of special prosecutors after the end of their mandate. SPAK notes that this issue has not yet been addressed and emphasizes that the lack of a clear definition of this status may undermine the continued maintenance of high professional standards of investigation, required by the public, the Parliament, the Council of Ministers and international institutions. As highlighted in SPAK's annual report for 2023, the lack of a clear status of special prosecutors would also undermine the continuity of important investigations conducted by SPAK ," the report states.
The continued failure to address the allocation of legal advisors to the Special Prosecution Office is another issue that is not being addressed by Parliament.
" We repeatedly state that the lack of this human resource standard hampers the quality of SPAK's investigation and appeals in pursuing cases at all levels of trial and in the Constitutional Court ," SPAK emphasizes.
The low number of referrals from public institutions, including the state police, regarding criminal offenses within the framework of corruption and organized crime still remains a problem. So, state bodies are sabotaging SPAK.
According to SPAK, the concern is the subject matter competence of the Special Courts for reviewing requests in the phase of execution of the criminal decision for special subjects according to the provisions of Article 135, point 2, of the Constitution and Article 75/a, of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Currently, these requests are reviewed by the courts of general criminal jurisdiction.
So there are a series of legal changes that the majority must make. To this day, they have been forgotten and despite Rama boasting that he is defending SPAK, he is actually sabotaging it. /Pamphlet
