The Special Appeals Chamber, KPA, announced the decision to dismiss Tirana prosecutor Eranda Laze from her duties . Eranda Laze is the sister of Ermonela Felaj, a current SP MP , but who will no longer be in the Assembly in September.

According to the College, the claim of the Public Commissioners institution and the head of SPAK that prosecutor Laze and her husband are unable to prove legal financial sources for the payment of the first installment of an apartment worth 40 thousand euros and for the last installment is correct.

According to "Birn", the College also found the complaint right and the cause of action for the impossibility of creating a cash balance , due to the failure to verify the legality of the husband's income by the attorney. According to the KPA, the payment of tax obligations for this income was not proven.

For a plot of land donated to the spouse, the KPA panel assessed that the subject did not convincingly explain the spouse's relationship with the donor.

The College assesses that even for an informal construction in the process of legalization, self-declared by the father of the subject's husband, no explanations were given for the reasons for investing together with another citizen in a garage in a tourist location, even though he lives in Italy.

Although it was found that they indicate carelessness, and therefore insufficient for the measure, the report also identified trips with persons suspected of being involved in criminal activity.

For these reasons, it was decided to change the decision-making of the Independent Qualification Commission and dismiss this reassessment entity from its duties .

Laze was confirmed in office by the Independent Qualification Commission, KPK, on November 8 last year.

The majority of the KPK panel found the explanations and evidence submitted by the subject convincing , reducing the impossibility to around 1.5 million lek, which was ultimately considered non-penalizing.

While the minority considered that Laze failed to prove the legality of the sources for two residential apartments in Tirana, purchased for 81,284 Euros, and a vehicle.

The majority decision of the Commission was also found unfounded by the International Monitoring Operation, which, after identifying problems with assets and ethics, requested the Public Commissioners, through a recommendation, to file an appeal with the College./ CNA
