Fear of the law and fear of SPAK!

Jacob Dickson, is a 31-year-old from Texas, who has been living in Albania for six years. Recently, at the request of SPAK, the American citizen, who says that he carries out activity in cryptocurrency without illegal games according to him, ended up under house arrest.

As a suspect on account of a proceeding that brought him to the stage during the arrests of a network that provided trips for Albanians to the USA and England, the American suspect submitted a request that in content makes you think.

He requested that the security measure of house arrest, where he previously lived on rent, be abolished by the anti-corruption court by approving another measure of house arrest at a new address.

Because the owner of the apartment where you lived, worried about SPAK checks - you expressed alarm, "you brought SPAK to my door, I don't want SPAK here"! And so the suspect under house arrest was left without a home, right in the middle of Tirana.

Of course, the anti-corruption court approved the apartment he urgently found through online platforms.

And the American Jacob included under investigation for the production and sale of narcotics is only a fragmented version to understand that currently the fear of an institution is more massive than the fear that everyone should have only of the law.

Although so far it is a breath to be applauded, that many officials at the enforcement level are refusing to sign the tenders casually, what makes you think that the effect of fear from SPAK, maybe it is bringing the effect of fear and respect for the law.

However, some excesses are evident.

Try to say, try once to declare that this aspect of SPAK fails, that the investigations drag on, that the de-conspiracy of cases is not only a problem and defect of the police but also of this Structure.
We are approaching a point where the display of a critical, otherwise, non-heroic attitude towards SPAK is considered taboo.

To the extent that you are interpreted as the enemy, through a group of very distinct propagandists with template and funny phrases "it is the head of SPAK himself in action, the head of SPAK himself investigated the matter, the fault is here and there...".

This is the least they broadcast, although this is the ugliest form of PR for an institution.

It is forgotten that the SPAK special structure currently has the most paid people, the most protected people, the people with power everywhere with access from the president, the prime minister to the citizen who trembles at home because SPAK is not at his door.

It does not suit an institution the role of "victimization" when support has not been lacking and is not lacking. Not even the partisan appeals "to be allowed to do our work" when the law gives them this mandate.

What are some of the problems of SPAK?

First, the prosecution from which we have expectations, the prosecution most supported by the international community and widely by the public, has serious problems with transparency and communication. And here I am not only talking about investigative secrecy, but also the leaking of intentional versions to cause subjugation by SPAK itself. This is done by winking with insinuations and hypotheses, muddling in case you don't do fresh or have your own critical opinion, or for any other reason that is not an investigation, but an old methodology of the investigation before '90.

In essence, it should be understood that by planting this spirit, which brings fear to speak about the infallible SPAK, which sometimes addresses mistakes elsewhere, not only the citizen's freedom to hope and believe in the law has been damaged. But also the institution, which risks being destroyed by itself if it turns from an institution in search of evidence, into an instrument for tracking and distributing the chatter that needs to be proved, that this is how people should not fall asleep. This strategy, making noise and making a show with the issues, throwing balloons on the market with names that come to mind and treating citizens with zero rights, is the most wrong.

2. Reporting.

Apart from the superpower, SPAK has an obligation to report and not only before the parliament and KLP. But through the press office, the website, let us understand that this prosecutor's office is not an office, but an institution for the benefit of the purposes for which it was established.

What happened to the internal audit of the administration? Why has the issue of candidate prosecutors voted by KLP as future prosecutors stalled? What is happening with the tenders that are published and then cancelled? What happens to the experts called by SPAK? What are the issues that are dismissed?

That they don't start? Why is there a high number of files for which incompetence is declared? Why are referrals expected only from investigative institutions and media, and prosecutors sit idly by and do not open cases, mainly and others.

For example, for two days, I read the abuse file at the Oncologist and I think - was this a case for which SPAK should declare incompetence (drug smuggling file 2023) and not investigate in the cell. There was no better case to judicially understand what happens in hospitals, the tenders there, the inviolable Ministry of Health.

Time counts and the institution opened in 2019, seems to have inherited an old disease, that of shredding files and turning them into series for the show

3. The relationship with oneself and the court.

SPAK is divided and I find it appropriate here to recall the situation during the activity with the Italian Antimafia, with a then SPAK that did not deserve to have the National Bureau of Investigation on its side. No, there are no superpowered people.

No matter how much dedication and commitment you have. In investigations, work is done in groups and the spirit of the team is not consolidated enough to accept a different point of view. And like everywhere in SPAK, the servile around him has the power.

At the same time, SPAK should give up finding internal enemies or those who are supporters, but not chorus. Include here the childish grudge that is sometimes held with the anti-corruption court.

If there are, such as those that appear in the "Metamorphosis" file, there is no need for a scheme but for a legal response.
Despite the fact that what sets the standard at the end of the investigation is the court. And the court has shown several times that prolonged investigations lead to the acquittal of the accused. This is a minus. That checks and seizures without permission are abusive.

Another minus. That the evidence is the pillar that holds a file, to separate the case from a beautiful fable for action movies, to a well-investigated file, which is finalized with a dignified confrontation.
