Albania is the only country in the Western Balkans where the model of a Special Prosecution Office has been implemented, which has had great potential power for a long time and concentrated in one political wing - the ruling majority.
The Albanian case of an aggressive SPAK towards high politics, generally government politics, has an explanation, and it is useless to hide it.
Behind the Special Prosecution Office there is strong support from the Great Powers; where the US and Germany are the main sponsors, but there is also the hand of regional powers, be it Greece or Turkey for example, which in 2009 was accused by Athens of having strong influence in the Constitutional Court, when the maritime pact between Sali Berisha and Kosta Karamanlis was collapsed.
Meanwhile, in no other country in the Balkans is there such an acute revenge of the special prosecution against the highest spheres of the state. Croatia, with the Sanader case, was the first to bring shock to impunity. A storm that took not only the former prime minister, but also a series of high-level officials. But after that hurricane, there was no more shock in Croatia, and this does not mean that USOK, the counterpart of our SPAK there, has not conducted investigations. These are preventive and aggressive arrest operations.
Montenegro, although it is one step ahead of us in the race to join the EU, has not established a Special Prosecutor's Office, North Macedonia has rejected the vetting offered as a solution by the EU, Serbia has even more strongly rejected it. In Kosovo, it is talked about, but only in campaigns.
Meanwhile, a strong model of anti-corruption prosecution was also Romania, led by Laura Codruța Kovesi, who caused a major storm in her country's politics, leading to the prosecution and arrest of a large number of senior officials. Laura broke the nerves of senior Romanian politics, so much so that the ruling party dismissed her, and then the leader of the party, namely the left-wing Social Democrats, was declared Non Grata and ended up in prison.
Laura, however, was supported by EU leaders and is now the European Chief Prosecutor for anti-corruption. Her first major operation was against Bulgaria's most powerful man, the leader of the center-right party, Boyko Borisov. She arrested him on corruption charges, but the former mayor of Sofia and Bulgarian prime minister managed to win the election, where he is still the leading party today.
Meanwhile, Albania is the only country in the Western Balkans where the model of a Special Prosecution Office has been implemented, which has had great potential power for a long time and concentrated in one political wing - the governing majority.
Tashmë Shqipëria po përjeton një duel interesant politik ndërmjet drejtësisë e mazhorancës përgjithësisht, debat që thelbin e ka tek kushtetueshmëria dhe procesi i rregullt gjyqësor, duke mos përdorur linçimin si provë. Siç po ndodh në Hagë me krerët e UÇK-së, çelësi i qelive të tyre është hedhur në det që prej pesë vjetësh.
Por që të mos hallakatemi, ajo që po ndodh aktualisht, pra kjo përplasje, ndoshta në masë mund të mos parashikohesh, por si debat apo duel, do të vinte patjetër në këtë pikë.
E kanë provuar dhe e provojnë të gjithë atë vendet që e kanë kaluar këtë fazë. Italia, është një vend që për ne është jo thjeshte i njohur dhe i afërt, por edhe në zhvillime aty aty, mund të shikojmë apo ientifikojmë pika takimi.
Italia, ishte vendi që kreu një revolucion të vërtetë në fillim të viteve 90 të shekullit të shkuar me prokurorinë e Milanos, përkatësisht grupin e prokurorëve të Mani Pulite-s, e cila tronditi dhe fshiu klasën e vetër politike apo siç quhet Republika e Dytë, duke sjellë në jetë Republikën e Tretë.
Realisht, Antionio di Pietro, Piercamillo Davigo, Gerardo D'Ambrosio, Gherardo Colombo u bënë në pak vite njerëzit më të dashur të Italisë, pasi prekën atë që deri dje nuk ndodhte. Por vetëm 2 vite më pas, kurba ra, duke u kthyer në problem të madh, e konsideruar si “gjykatës me telekomandë”.
Kjo ndodhi, pasi Silvio Berlusconi e ktheu në betejë politike përplasjen e tij me drejtësinë, betejë, që e kreu në mënyrë epike deri ditën e fundit të jetës së tij të pasur, të plotësuar, për disa të lavdishme, për disa jo, megjithatë super të suksesshme e me mjaft kolorit në të gjitha aspektet e saj.
Beteja për “legalitet” që nisi Silvio Berlusconi, megjithatë është një nga legacy-të e tij politike që vijon sot e kësaj dite në Itali, jo vetëm në krahun e djathtë politik, por thuajse në të gjithë harkun konstitucional italian.
Më 22 e 23 mars, në Itali zhvillohet një referendum për “ndarjen e karrierave”, një betejë politike që e udhëheq mazhoranca e djathtë e kryeministres Georgia Meloni.
“Ndarja e Karrierës” ka të bëjë me një fenomen publik në vend, ku emra të njohur nga prokurorët kryesisht, por edhe magjistratë të tjerë, janë personazhet të rëndësishme në publik. Kryesisht në media, opinion publik, si edhe në politikë. Në Itali nuk a fare kompleks që prokurorë të ndryshëm, që kanë kryer hetime të mëdha që kanë prekur edhe politikën, i janë futur plitikës, duke u zgjedhur në Parlament, qeveri, deri edhe në poste të larta.
The current Minister of Justice in Italy, Carlo Nordio, is a former prosecutor very well known in the Northeast of Italy, namely in Veneto, mainly for the investigations into the Brigatte Rosse or terrorism of the 70s of the “years of lead”. Nordio, who is politically and culturally close to the right, is also respected by his colleagues on the left for the professionalism he has followed in his work. But he has no problem openly debating the issues that arise, where the Italian right is more open because it is more “guaranteed”. Meanwhile, the left is in the “Jacobine” because it has always had its strong allies in the justice system, although many parts of it have suffered badly from what in Italy is called “malagiustizia”.
The most iconic case is that of the television icon, the famous journalist Enzo Tortora, who was imprisoned on charges of being linked to the mafia, based solely on a statement by a repentant Camorra member, who, as is often the case with this category, is often misplaced.
The famous journalist's life was completely destroyed, with the public and his colleagues setting out to lynch him without any mercy. Except for one of the country's best journalists, Vittorio Feltri, who in the pages of Corriere Della Sera, by carefully reading the proceedings, revealed the fraud of the penitent and completely brought down the anti-mafia prosecutor's office. A battle that made Feltri, as he is today, an icon of journalism in the neighboring country.
Meanwhile, the battle against "malagiustizia" continues to this day. Matteo Renzi, the former center-left Italian prime minister, was the country's most popular and powerful politician in 2016.
After losing a referendum on reducing public office, he resigned, and a Florence prosecutor took it so hard that he arrested his father, put his mother under investigation, as well as the entire inner circle of the foundation that politically financed Matteo Renzi. For two years, the former prime minister suffered a public lynching, but in the end all levels of the judiciary ruled in his favor, overthrowing the prosecution.
Another left-wing politician, the charismatic President of the Campagna region centered in Naples, Vincenzo de Luca, has justice at the center of his political battle. He calls on the left to openly engage in this battle if it wants to win the elections, and has demanded that the article on “Abuse of Office” be removed from the Criminal Code, which he says has been widely abused. De Luca gives the example of a colleague of his who, as a result of an arrest, suffered a shock and lost his life, when in the end everything turned out to be untrue.
This debate in Italy is taking place quite normally, without moralistic poses from one side or triumphalist ones from the other. Each has its own arguments, while prosecutors or judges who have become well-known public figures have no problem at all going out in the media and debating earnestly, but not in a quarrelsome and moralistic manner.
The debate is heated, but quite naturally so. After all, what is being discussed is a power that causes trouble or protects you even when it shouldn't.
