SPAK that is "hacked" with one click, then becomes a hero with a delay

By Flamur Vezaj

On March 12, 2025, someone shared on WhatsApp some materials obtained from the emails of several SPAK prosecutors. Not from the internal IT system – no, no – only from the emails. And SPAK, for a whole month, did not say a word. Total silence. Like an institution that, as soon as it runs out of ink, takes a deep breath, waits for the wave to pass and pretends that nothing happened.
But when it finally spoke – on April 4 – it did so with style: “The system has not been affected, only the emails have been attacked.” As if the emails are not part of the system! As if the files do not circulate through them! And even funnier: they tried to access Altin Dumani’s email, but “without success”. A great surprise! Other people’s emails fall like rotten tomatoes, but Dumani’s is made of titanium. Presidential protection.
Meanwhile, sensitive information – suspected of being related to investigations into Gjiknuri, the Ahmetaj file, people who have filed in the Constitutional Court because their personal data has been exposed – has been released. Question: who distributed it? Who copied it? Who ordered it?
What does SPAK do? It catches two individuals: one who phished (it is said), and another who distributed it. And that closes the circle. That's all? Two guys with a laptop and suddenly we have a "structured criminal group"? What about the financiers? The ones who gave the orders? The beneficiaries of the materials?
This looks more like an internal clash for control of the files. A system that is glaring at itself. The prosecutors are divided into a classic Balkan scheme: mother and stepmother. One protects himself with an email bunker, the others click on a link and leave the institution without underwear.
The biggest irony? Instead of SPAK investigating the real source of the leak, it signs orders for journalists. Because, of course, the problem is not the leak of information, but the fact that the public found out. Today, the journalist must notify the prosecutor before publishing. We have entered the time when censorship is called “coordination”.
We all know that it is not the first time:
• Civil status data – 2008
• License plates, licenses, salaries, patronage agents, TIMS
• Iranian hackers who became more informed than SHISH
• And always: no one is held accountable
For every scandal, always the same scheme: a press release, a conference, a noisy arrest and then – silence. Who was convicted for patronage agents? Who for the attacks on TIMS? Why is it always journalism and those who publish, but never those who release the information, that are the victims?
Our systems are more perforated than the roof of the National Theater before the collapse.
And yet, every time there is a leak, a statement is issued. Two people are arrested in the same style as in the old police chronicles: “the perpetrator was without precedent and cooperated with justice”. The file is closed with the excuse "the system was not affected."
How come you didn't get tired of treating us like fools?
We are dealing with an internal war for information. Anyone with eyes and ears understands that this data does not come out by "fishing". It comes out because there are people inside who have an interest in burning opponents. We are not in 1997. These blackmails with "making the email public" are more a struggle for power within the judiciary than an attack on the institution.
But worse than SPAK are the journalists' associations. Instead of protecting freedom of speech and the work of honest journalists (not blackmailers), they are silent! Journalism cannot be an extension of the prosecution. If it has helped to uncover the truth, bravo to it. Not an investigation, but it deserves recognition. No one should ask permission from SPAK to publish.
Then, why did SPAK take a month to react? Why does the reaction come only after the information has been made public? Why is the file kept under investigation by the prosecutor who has the file and not passed on to another prosecutor's office, as is normal practice in any modern justice system due to conflict of interest!?
Because the problem is not the hacker. The problem is the fear of transparency.
SPAK has long ceased to function as an independent structure, but as a gladiator arena with emails and statements. Now even email has become a tool of war. And while we deal with the "small fish", sharks move freely among the files, emails and tenders... which they distribute themselves, but then look for the enemy!
