Yuri Kim's strong statement / Who is trying to intimidate judges and prosecutors?
The US ambassador in Tirana, Yuri Kim, stated today that there are efforts to intimidate judges and prosecutors into not punishing the most powerful. In a reaction on the Twitter social network, Ambassador Kim writes that efforts are being made for Albania to turn back.
"We are aware that there are more attempts to lure or intimidate judges and prosecutors to distort justice and insist on impunity for the most powerful. In other words, to crawl into the past.
Judges and prosecutors must perform their duties in accordance with the law and with integrity ," Kim wrote, among other things.
The American ambassador has repeatedly responded with calls not to intimidate justice as one of the conditions for Albania to move forward on the path of integration.
But who is trying to pervert justice? Below, we list some of the 'hot' issues that have not passed without noise recently in the country.
The release of Alqi Bllakos
Judge Irena Gjoka of the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime decided a few days ago to release the former Socialist MP, Alqi Blako, accused of abuse of office and corruption in the Fier incinerator affair.
The judge accepted Bllakos' request and replaced his security measure from prison arrest to house arrest.
The Special Court did not provide details regarding the reasons assessed by Gjoka, but according to Bllak's lawyer, Sokol Hazizaj, the request for release from the cell was based on the fact that his client is the father of three minor children, who "need his care".
The decision was opposed by the SPAK Special Prosecutor's Office, which considered insufficient the reason given for Bllakos' release from the cell.
Alqi Blako surrendered to the police on April 1 of this year, after the Special Court had previously set the measure of "prison arrest" following the investigation into the Fier concession contract with an estimated value of 28 million euros.
SPAK e akuzon Bllakon se ka marrë përfitime të paligjshme nga kompanitë koncensionare të ndërtimit të inceneratorëve, ndërsa ka favorizuar këto kompani gjatë kohës që ushtronte detyrat shtetërore si sekretar i Përgjithshëm i Ministrisë së Mjedisit dhe më pas në funksionin e “Autoritetit Kontraktues”, si drejtor i Agjencisë Kombëtare të Ujësjellës Kanalizimeve dhe Infrastrukturës së Mbetjeve.
Së bashku me Bllakon, SPAK ka ngritur akuza edhe ndaj 9 zyrtarëve të tjerë të lidhur me procedurat e koncesionit për inceneratorin e Fierit, përfshi edhe ish-Ministrin e Mjedisit, Lefter Koka i cili gjendet në burg që prej dhjetorit 2021.
Inceneratorët
Qeveria e kryeministrit Edi Rama ka dhënë tre kontrata koncesionare për ndërtimin e incineratorëve në Elbasan, Fier dhe Tiranë, te një grup kompanish të lidhura me njëra-tjetrën, nën pronësinë e personave pa eksperiencë të mëparshme në këtë fushë. Koncesioni i parë, inceneratori i Elbasanit, u sekuestrua nga prokuroria dhjetorin e kaluar, pak ditë para se kompania t’i transferohej Bashkisë së Elbasanit me përfundimin e kontratës së koncesionit. Më vonë u vendos nën sekuestro preventive edhe kompania e inceneratorit të Fierit, kontrata për të cilën ishte pranë përfundimit.
Lidhur me këto afera korruptive, SPAK ka kërkuar gjithashtu arrestimin e Stela Gugalles, e cila është pronarja e kompanisë “Albtek Energy” si dhe Klodian Zotos, pronar i kompanisë Integrated Technology Services, por këta të fundit nuk janë arrestuar ende nga policia. Mbi të dyshuarit rëndojnë akuzat e korrupsionit të zyrtarëve të lartë dhe të pastrimit të parave.
Konfiskimi i kateve pa leje
Kryeministri Edi Rama paralajmëroi një fushatë kundër ndërtimeve pa leje sidomos të shumëkatësheve që siç tha do të konfiskohen.
Rama në reagimet e tij publike ia hodhi fajin sërish sistemit të drejtësisë.
“Ndërtimet pa leje kanë qenë kanceri i këtij vendi, ka ndërtime pa lejen patjetër nuk diskutohet, por po të vijmë tek këto metrat katrorë pa leje abuzim mbi një leje ndërtimi e kemi ulur 10 fish.
Sot jemi në kushtet kur duhet t’i japim një goditje përfundimtare këtij fenomeni të shëmtuar e fyes. E pamundur që ne të vendosim kontroll të plotë e të rreptë kur vjen puna te ata që ndërtojnë, një avlli, një cati dhe një shtëpi në fshat e të vijë të ketë shans për biznesmenët të hapen ndenjësesh e të bëjnë metra katrorë në kryeqytet.
Kjo që po bëjmë ka ardhur si rezultat se nxirr ligje e masa sa të duash, bëj kontrolle e denoncime sa të duash sa kohë ky sistem drejtësie në nivelin e prokurorive e gjykatave të rretheve nuk është i pastruar je i destinuar të turpërohesh”, deklaroi Rama ndër të tjera teksa i përgjigjej një komentuesi në Facebook.
SPAK në vendnumëro në hetimin e korrupsionit të zyrtarëve të nivelit të lartë
The data provided by BIRN through the right to information law show that SPAK's hot files remain blocked at the stage of preliminary investigations, without the perpetrators being prosecuted.
The lack of efficiency of the Special Structure Against Organized Crime and Corruption raises doubts not only about the progress of investigations but also questions about the will of the prosecution to fight corruption at the highest levels of government.
According to the annual corruption perception index published by the organization 'Transparency International', Albania remains one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, ranking 110 out of 180 countries in 2021.
