Today the High Judicial Council accepted the request of the High Inspector of Justice for the dismissal of magistrate E.H., a judge at Kruja Judicial District Court, as a disciplinary measure.
The Chairperson Naureda Llagami announced the decision, according to which the HJC unanimously decided to dismiss the judge.
The High Inspector of Justice Artur Metani, while presenting the conclusions on the investigation conducted, had argued the disciplinary violations of the magistrate as unjustified non-fulfillment of functions during the trial, which have brought on unfair benefits to the parties, serious and continuous non-compliance with the material and criminal procedural legislation and issuance of unreasonable acts (decisions).
E.H. is the second magistrate whom the HJC has accepted the request of the High Inspector of Justice for dismissal due to serious disciplinary violations related to inmates released on parole and the third magistrate dismissed by the HJC after an HIJ disciplinary investigation.
The High Inspector of Justice has shared the public concern for the decision-making process and the activity of other institutions, regarding releases on parole by setting this phenomenon as a priority of HIJ inspection since taking office.
The High Inspector of Justice Office continues the verification for similar decision-making processes based on the thematic inspection process in the courts and prosecutors’ offices of the country.
