Press Release

The Prosecutor's Office of the Judicial District of Tirana has decided not to initiate criminal proceedings against the Authority for Information on Former State Insurance Documents (AIDSSH ) for some criminal offenses.

The Prosecutor's Office of the Tirana Judicial District, on the basis of the report of citizen Ilir Metaj and the material received from the Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime, registered the criminal report no. 11409 dated 06.09.2022.

During this period, the relevant verifications provided for by the criminal procedural law were carried out and related in the present case to the receipt of relevant statements in the capacity of persons who show the circumstances of the investigation, of AIDSSH members against whom this criminal report is directed.

The complainant presented his claim on the specific case, just as the accused presented the procedure followed in such a case, as well as the procedure that the complainant had to follow in such a case, although the complainant considered that the actions of AIDSSH members were committed in violation of the law.

In our assessment, based on what is contained in the criminal report no.11409 of 2022 and furthermore the legal basis on which the Authority for Information on Former State Insurance Documents (AIDSSH) has operated, makes us unable to find ourselves in the circumstances for the registration of the criminal proceedings, related to the existence of the image or images of the criminal offense or offenses.

So, there are circumstances that do not allow the initiation of criminal proceedings, circumstances that are provided for by Article 290/1 letter "ç" of the Criminal Procedure Code.

As above, pursuant to Article 291/1/2 of the Criminal Code, on 21.09.2022 it was decided not to start the criminal proceedings.
