Today, the Public Commissioner was present at the Appeal Chamber to continue the judicial review of the appeal filed against the Decision no. 703/2023, of the Independent Qualification Commission, concerning the assessee, Mrs. Suela Salavaçi, serving as a prosecutor in the Prosecution Office of the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Tirana.
After confirming the presence of the parties at the hearing, the presiding judge invited them to present their final arguments.
The Public Commissioner, adhering to all the appeal grounds and the submission made during the judicial review, also under the IMO’s Recommendation, concluded that the assessee fails to prove the opposite of the burden of proof on the control of assets and proficiency assessment. In conclusion of the final arguments, the Public Commissioner requested the amendment of decision no. 703/2023, issued by the Independent Qualification Commission, and the dismissal from office of the assessee, Mrs. Suela Salavaçi.
The assessee objected to the Public Commissioner’s conclusions, claiming the opposite, and requested her reconfirmation in office.
Following an on-the-spot consultation, the adjudication panel decided to conclude the judicial review and withdrew to the deliberation chamber to issue the final decision, which will be announced on October 22, 2024, at 15:00.
