Names-Who are the four candidates seeking Duman's seat?

Altin Dumani, head of SPAK

SPAK is expected to have a new leader at the end of the year, as the law stipulates that the mandate of the head of the institution is three years and his election takes place at the KLP.

According to the law, there are alternative candidacies in the KLP. Voting takes place after the candidates present their platforms and the new SPAK leader is elected.

The first head of this institution upon its establishment was Arben Kraja. Then, three years ago, on December 16, 2022, Mr. Altin Dumani was elected head of SPAK.

In three years, Dumani wrote his own era at the head of this institution, not only as a leader, but also as a prosecutor.

With strong acts and unstoppable actions, hitting crime, its dome, but also politics and corruption.

Beyond an assessment that is already publicly known, this is also due to the broad public support that Mr. Dumani has due to his integrity and professionalism, SPAK will need its own standard.

CNA has often written about the "Dumani" standard in investigations, which we do not see in other prosecutors, meaning they are not at his professional level or his integrity, but as Mr. Dumani himself has stated, they flirt with politics or have other goals.

However, these three years of Altin Dumani at the head of SPAK are beyond praiseworthy, as we emphasized above, they are an era, not only for the institution, but also for Albania.

They are a paved path to the EU by fighting crime and corruption, and all it takes is will, dedication, and professional integrity to make everything simpler.

This is not a coincidence and it is not simply the work of an investigator behind a desk. It is a strong, ongoing battle to bring crime and corruption to its knees.

There are hundreds of people arrested and wanted, the main groups dismantled in the country, politicians from the highest state officials, former Presidents, former Prime Ministers, ministers, mayors, whom SPAK has brought with charges and proven their criminal acts.

Altin Dumani will step down as head of SPAK and the institution will have a new leader, but he will still remain a prosecutor in this institution.

According to data provided by CNA from its unofficial sources, up to now there are four names that could compete for the head of this institution.

Adnan Xholi is the most talked about name so far for the head of SPAK.

Xholi is one of the people who stands and we have often seen him on Dumani's left side in parliamentary committees or other public meetings.

He is an experienced prosecutor and in another article, CNA will provide his full professional CV and his asset declaration.

The second name is Vladimir Mara.

Another prosecutor in SPAK, a name that is claimed by the government, this and because of his direct or indirect connections with the socialist government.

The third name in the race is Klodian Braho, the prosecutor of the "5D" file and the Elbasan incinerator.

One of the contenders for the head of SPAK.

The fourth name, not the last and not the least important, is Anita Jella.

A prosecutor with integrity, and if she were elected for the first time, SPAK would have a woman at the head of the institution.

These are the four names that CNA was able to uncover.

In other materials, we will present the profiles of the candidates, as well as their assets up until the moment they passed the vetting.

All four were appointed at different times to SPAK. It is known that the mandate of a SPAK prosecutor is 9 years and he has the right to run for mayor.

If elected president, he has a three-year mandate and then continues as a simple prosecutor in this institution until the end of the mandate to be appointed to another Prosecutor's Office./ CNA
