Constitutional Court: Disqualification of judge Gerd Hoxha from running for

The Constitutional Court has considered the disqualification of Judge Gerd Hoxha from the race for the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime to be legal.

The Constitutional Court considers the result of the Special Commission composed of two SPAK prosecutors, a GJKKO judge and two investigators, who on July 24, 2024, disqualified candidate Hoxha, who today holds the position of Deputy President of the Court of Tirana, to be legal.

We recall that the reason for his disqualification from the race was a photo taken with Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj at the British Embassy. Judge Gerd Hoxha considered the decision-making of the commission, which is the final filter before the candidates are reviewed by the High Prosecutorial Council and the High Judicial Council, to be unconstitutional.

Prosecutor Ndini Tavani, who was disqualified from taking a seat on SPAK, and Judge Gerd Hoxha raised the issue in the Administrative Court, which requested a Constitutional interpretation of the law on the organization and functioning of judicial bodies.
