The Assembly has opened the way for SPAK to arrest Arben Ahmetaj and search his apartment. After several hours of debate, in the Council of Mandates PD and SP have agreed to remove the immunity of the former deputy prime minister.
For two days there have been debates and discussions in the Council of Mandates, as SPAK has demanded the arrest of the former minister, raising 3 charges against him. Yesterday it was the prosecutors who submitted their request, while today it was the lawyers. At the end of the meeting it was agreed that there will be no obstacles.
The opposition and the majority came out with two different reports, but in principle both approve the request of SPAK. The only difference is that the DP requested that the vote be held tomorrow in the session, while the majority has decided that there will be an extraordinary session on Monday, where the report will be voted on.
" Under the leadership of the Chairperson, Ms. Lindita Nikolla, the Council for Regulation, Mandates and Immunity met today. The Council continued the meeting with the same agenda as in the previous meeting, with the hearing with the legal representatives of the deputy, Mr. Arben Ahmetaj After the answers to the questions, the Council continued the discussions and decided that the reports will be presented within Friday, 14.07.2023 at 12:00 and the Special Plenary Session will take place on Monday, 17.07.2023. Council for Regulations, Mandates and Immunity approved the request of the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime, for granting authorization by the Assembly for the arrest/deprivation of liberty and the exercise of personal control/of the apartment of the deputy of the Assembly of Albania, Mr. Arben Ahmetaj, "the Assembly announced .
While the opposition's report states: " The 5 deputies of the Council for Immunity, representatives of the opposition, recommend to the plenary session of the Assembly of the Republic of Albania to vote for the approval of the granting of authorization, requested by request no. 9431 Prot., dated 07.07.2023 of the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime "For the granting of the authorization for the arrest/deprivation of freedom, personal control and control of the apartment of deputy Arben Ahmetaj", in order to open the way for him full and comprehensive investigation within the framework of criminal proceedings no. 277/1, of 2022 for the 3 criminal offenses .
It remains to be seen whether in the session we will have two reports or the parties will work to merge them into one. But it is certain that the majority released Arben Ahmetaj, paving the way for the prosecution to arrest him. It should be noted that Ahmetaj is abroad. The lawyers also spoke today and issued strong accusations against the prosecution.
“Zoti Ahmetaj ka nisur përballjen me drejtësinë. Është e drejta e vetë nëse do vijë në Shqipëri apo jo. Ne mbajtëm qëndrim të kundërt nga ajo që kërkon prokuroria. Na u dha kohë jo më shumë se 24 orë për të parë 320 faqe material, që janë dashur 2 javë për t’i shkruar. Ne nuk vërejtëm kurrkund në këto faqe asnjë rresht që justifikon kontrollin e banesës së zotit Ahmetaj. Kjo është thjesht një shoë për të kënaqur epshet e disa njerëzve se si dhunohet e drejta e një deputeti. Për masën e sigurisë nuk kishte asnjë arsye pse kërkohet kjo masë ekstreme. Jemi kundër arrestimit të tij”, u shpreh avokati Ardian Visha.
The Council of Mandates has decided that on Monday at 17.00 there will be a special plenary session and there will be a vote, which is expected to open the way for SPAK to issue an arrest warrant for Ahmetaj. / Pamphlet
