The scandal of Minister Etilda Gjonaj/ How were ignored the Prosecution’s investigations for the denounced official

Prosecutor Anton Pali started his career in law as a judicial police officer at the Durrës Appellate Prosecution. For 12 years he was disconnected from the system, and returned in 2016, initially as a judicial police officer, and then appointed as a prosecutor in Vlora.

During his work as a prosecutor, he had in his hands important issues, even recommended by the politics for investigation. But, during an investigation that prosecutor Pali had in his hands, came to light the scandal of the Minister of Justice Etilda Gjonaj.

We recall that on April 15, 2018, the Minister of Justice, Etilda Gjonaj, after announcing the dismissal of the director of the regional directorate of ALUIZNI, Egon Velaj and several other officials, requested an investigation by the Prosecution. Investigations on Velaj and 5 other officials were launched by prosecutor Anton Pali, who in February 2019 stated that it had been proven that the group had committed ?abuse of duty? and required their imprisonment. But, Velaj, although under investigation, was appointed by the Minister Etilda Gjonaj Director of Vlora Detention.

One week after being appointed to this position, the Vlora Court sentenced the former director of ALUIZNI, Egon Velaj, to 6 months in prison which was converted into probation. This is the case that shows how politics crumbles the justice system, and rejects the work of the people of justice.

Among other things, this is a signal that the prosecution doesn?t investigate and convict the court, but in both cases decisions are made by politics. Prosecutor Anton Pali, professionally has not been bent in other cases, while in terms of property, it turns out that he has income from his and his wife?s salary. His wealth, mainly in real estate, derives from the inheritance, while he bought in 2008, a 91.8 m2 apartment in Durrës, worth 6.159.780 Lek.
