The Prosecution General has filed at the Task Force of Tirana, the
report made a few days ago by the High Inspectorate of Declaration and
Audit of Assets, in which Gjin Gjoni, a Judge and member of the High
Council of Justice, is reported for hiding assets; for false declaration
of assets in cooperation; for falsifying documents in cooperation; for
cleaning the tracks of a criminal act in cooperation and of corruption.
Sources said for Top Channel that after the preliminary verifications at the Prosecution General, as it has been foreseen by the legislation, the Task Force prosecutors will make their verifications for deciding about the investigations against the Court of Appeal Judge.
A source from the Tirana Prosecution said for Top Channel that regarding the report made by Judge Gjin Gjoni, made against the President of the Court of Appeal, Alaudin Malaj, the Prosecutors have decided to not start the investigation.
This decision was taken with the argument that the Prosecution cannot invest in investigation for slander, as Judge Gjin Gjoni claims. But for this claim, the Judge has to address to the Court, as the law requires.
On the other hand, for the report of the High Inspectorate of Declaration and Audit of Assets, which says that 1.8 million EUR have been hidden for 18 different episodes, the Ministry of Justice has been announced by Chief Inspector Shkelqim Ganaj. But this institution did not say if it will start the inspections or not, or if this Ministry doesn’t have a stance yet from the High Council of Justice.
The General Tax Directory, Money Laundering Directory, the President and the Parliament Speaker have all been informed about the conclusions of the High Inspectorate of Declaration and Audit of Assets, on the suspects that the judge might have hidden his assets.
