One month after the new Constitutional amends entered in effect, the
Prosecution General asked the passing of one transitory constitutional
disposition, since, they claim, a stalemate has been created with the
investigation of important corruptive files, such as the case of Judge
Andrea and of other high-level politicians.
The Prosecution leaves to be understood that the reasons that blocked their operations are extra-legal, since the New Constitution has removed the Prosecution General’s right to investigate MPs, Ministers and Judges, and these competences were given to the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecution Structure, which has not been established yet.
The Prosecution expresses their concern that this is hampering their work with cases under investigation, such as the case of Socialist MP Armando Prenga and the Supreme Court Judge, Majlinda Andrea.
The Prosecution General also sees another decision-making competence as problematic, which has been removed and passed to the High Council of the Prosecution. The PG say this emergent intervention to the basic law should have allowed some former legal dispositions to be still active, until the full package of laws has passed in Parliament.
However, the announcement insinuates that this situation may have been created intentionally: “The Prosecution General has no intention to find the reasons that encouraged the makers of the Constitutional amends to create this different treatment of our institution, but we are keen to suggest a solution”, the declaration says.
The clashes between the Prosecution and the Government, and the fact that Prosecutor General Llalla doesn’t enjoy the support of the majority, except for Ilir Meta of the SMI, is clear by the fact that the Prosecution sees this situation as created by extra-legal reasons.
PG Llalla is the second one, after President Nishani, who reports this unclear legal situation. The President warned that there would be constitutional stalemates before the law was voted in Parliament.
The new Parliamentary session is expected to vote some important laws, including the one for the High Prosecution Council.
