HPC ACCEPTS HIGH INSPECTOR OF JUSTICE REQUEST FOR DISMISSAL OF MAGISTRATE B.Z.

The High Prosecutorial Council accepted today the High Inspector of Justice’s request for the dismissal of the prosecutor B.Z. of the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Court of First Instance of Diber,

The investigation against the magistrate started after the Prosecutor General filed a complaint with HIJ.

The disciplinary investigation which included the magistrate’s performance during 2013-2021, proved that the actions and omissions of the prosecutor constitute unjustified and repeated non-fulfillment of functions during the investigation, leading to unjustified delays of procedural acts, which are mandatory for implementation by the magistrates.

The magistrate has committed the same violation, during the period 2013-2021, making this violation a continuous one.

The actions of the magistrate B.Z. have had consequences in the administration of justice and did damage to the image of the prosecution body by undermining public confidence in justice.

They constitute a very serious disciplinary violation, which discredits the position and figure of the prosecutor during the exercise of duty and the High Inspector of Justice proposed to the High Prosecutorial Council the disciplinary measure “Dismissal”, provided by Article 105, paragraph 1, letter “dh ”and article 111, paragraph 2 of law no. 96/2016 “On the status of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”, as amended, as well as Article 148 / d, paragraph 2, letter “a” of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, a measure that was accepted by the High Prosecutorial Council.
