The General Prosecutor's Office has been set in motion by receiving the vetting file of the special judge Irena Gjoka, after the articles published in the media, where she is accused of hiding from the vetting bodies a sentence from the Greek courts of 20 years ago.

According to the documentation also provided by Voxnews.al, Irena Gjoka was deported by the Greek border authorities for falsifying documents and she was banned from entering the Schengen area for 10 years. The decision of the border authorities of Ioannina has been reinforced by the court of the same prefecture in Greece, which overturned in 2004 the appeal of Irena Gjoka for the annulment of the deportation.

Irena Gjoka is accused of hiding this fact from the form she submitted to the Independent Qualification Commission and the Special Appeals College, where she passed the vetting in 2020 and 2022, respectively.

If this penalty had been declared, then the vetting body's decision-making would most likely have been quite different, at least according to the standard set by the first level of re-evaluation, as well as by the second level of this process.

The reason is simple. There are a number of former judges and former prosecutors who have been dismissed from office since the start of the vetting for concealing punishments, disciplinary measures, or even for not justifying 20 square meters of property.

The first to become an example for not announcing a sentence was the senior judge, Admir Thanza. Thanza was convicted in Italy for robbery with violence. The event happened in 1999, when Thanza was even a judge in the Court of Shkodra.

The judge himself did not deny the fact of the existence of this sentence, which he said was an offense that he had not served, but a family member of his, but that he had undertaken to protect his family. Thanza stated that he took over a sentence of his sister-in-law who had committed a theft just so that his 9-year-old nephew could be cured in Italy, while he burst into tears in front of the jury.

The other case is that of the judge of the First Instance Administrative Court of Tirana, Semiramis Hoxholli. Vetting found no problems in the criteria of wealth and professionalism, but she was dismissed because she had not declared her brother's conviction in Greece for the crime of "narcotics trafficking", which was considered inappropriate contact.

Another example is that of the former prosecutor of Kurbini, Ajola Prençi. The Independent Qualification Commission dismissed her from office after she had not declared on the form that her husband had been convicted of corruption. Prençi declared that he had not hidden the incident of his husband and emphasized that the solution of his case belongs to the justice bodies. However, this penalized him in the revaluation.

Another case is that of the former member of the KPA, Luan Daci. Daci was appointed to the College by hiding a dismissal decision taken against him in 1997. Not only was he dismissed from the KPA, but he was also charged and sentenced to prison for falsifying the form.
