“Increased investigations and proactive methods”/ EC report on

The report on Albania published today by the European Commission, in the chapter on the rule of law, emphasizes the role and work of the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK).

Among other things, on the work of the judiciary in aspects of corruption and law enforcement, the report emphasizes that SPAK has increased the number of investigations and is using proactive methods.

According to the report, in the 6-month period July 2024 - January 2025 alone, 68 proactive investigations were referred.

"The Directorate for the Investigation of Economic and Financial Crimes in the Albanian State Police has a Unit responsible for the Investigation of Corruption. Furthermore, in each local directorate, there is a specialist appointed in each Unit for the Investigation of Economic and Financial Crimes, whose functional task is to prevent and crack down on criminal activity in the field of corruption.

The structure at the center cooperates closely and continuously with the Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime, as well as with the Prosecutors of General Jurisdiction, in accordance with their subject and territorial competence.

The structure that exercises the attributes of the Judicial Police is independent from the administrative structure of the State Police and is obliged to fulfill the attributes according to the law.

Statistics for the period July 2024 - January 2025, compared to the same period last year, show an increase in proactive investigations by the Corruption Investigation Unit, where in most cases special proactive methods were applied, such as telephone interceptions, surveillance, environmental interceptions approved by court decisions or authorized by the relevant prosecutors.

For the period July 2024 - January 2025, 68 proactive investigations were referred to the Directorate for the Investigation of Economic and Financial Crimes. Compared to July 2023 - January 2024, there are 56 proactive investigations referred”, the report highlights. /CNA
