SPAK

SPAK's annual report for 2025 was obtained by VoxNews and the figures show a significant increase in crackdowns on high-level corruption and organized crime.

During this year, the Special Structure has achieved record results, ranging from the seizure of assets worth millions of euros to the investigation of the most important political figures in the country.

One of the most striking figures is the total value of seized and confiscated assets, which amounts to 45.4 million euros.

The vast majority of this amount, around 43.5 million euros, are seized assets awaiting final decisions.

Full report:

1. Challenges in investigating organized crime and corruption of senior officials 

Investigating organized crime and high-level corruption poses significant challenges for SPAK. Political and media rhetoric can also affect public perception and the authority of the institution, and can also serve as a driving factor for increasing the level of threats from organized crime. SPAK would consider particularly concerning those initiatives or measures of a legal and institutional nature that would aim to limit its procedural means and independence. Such interventions would constitute a serious threat to the constitutional function of SPAK and to the rule of law itself.

2. Status of special prosecutors after the end of their mandate 

The lack of clear legal definition threatens the continuity of investigations and professional standards, affecting public trust and the fulfillment of the requirements of national and international institutions.

3. Legal advisors at SPAK 

The lack of experienced legal advisors creates difficulties in the quality of investigations and prosecution of cases at all levels of the trial, including in the Constitutional Court.

4. Cooperation with public institutions 

Although there is an increase in referrals and information exchange, the level of cooperation needs to be further intensified, especially with the State Police, to ensure more coordinated and efficient investigations. 5. Case Management System - Further consolidation of existing modules and integration of new functionalities remains a priority to improve interoperability with investigative and procedural data processes, ensuring better monitoring of case progress.

6. Unit of analysis 

Establishing a specialized structure to support complex investigations, risk assessments, and national and international reporting remains a challenge, requiring ongoing collaboration with international experts.

7. Liaison Specialist

The status of the liaison specialist as a civil servant does not fully align with the functions he or she must perform under Law No. 95/2016, making it necessary to clearly define the position and competencies to guarantee the effectiveness of the role.

8. Review of requests from foreign authorities 

The lack of jurisdiction for the recognition and execution of foreign criminal decisions, including extradition proceedings, remains problematic and affects the continuity of investigations and international cooperation.

9. Competence of Special Courts 

The lack of competence to review requests at the stage of execution of criminal decisions for special subjects forces these issues to be handled by courts of general jurisdiction, increasing the duration and complexity of the procedure.

10. Extradition/deportation of Albanian citizens

 Although there are improvements in cooperation with some countries, including the United Arab Emirates, the extradition process continues to be challenging and requires the signing of bilateral agreements to guarantee the execution of criminal decisions abroad.
