Who is the high official of justice that Klodian Çani of Customs pays holidays to

The connections of the corrupt in the customs ranks in Albania with segments of politics, either in the government or in the opposition, have been known for years. Even, there have been cases when the rumored corruption of millions of euros have been catapulted into the parliament and the Government, ironically also leading anti-corruption reforms.

However, one of those rumored to be corrupt, even convicted by courts inside and outside the country, has gone to another level. Klodian Çani, the director of the Directorate of Information in customs, has found threads in the justice system to overturn decisions against him.

Sources of Voxnews.al show that Çani has pocketed the head of one of the main disciplinary institutions of judges and prosecutors, established after the judicial reform. In fact, the ties are so strong that the Director of Information at Customs even pays for family vacations for the senior official of the new justice system.

Voxnews.al is aware of the name of the manager in question, but more than the name, the news is the denunciation of the sources, who claim that it was precisely the connection at high levels with justice that saved Klodian Çani from hiding as if by magic of a sentence he has from the court of Athens, as well as in the quick investment of the Constitutional Court to solve the problem of Klodian Çani in a judicial process against customs.

The process has its origins in 2015, when Klodian Çani, as shift chief at Kakavija customs, was caught smuggling goods and was dismissed from his duties by the disciplinary commission. Çani took the customs decision to the administrative court. The first instance and the Appeal through two strange decisions gave the right to the senior customs official, but it was the Administrative College of the Supreme Court that overturned everything and considered his expulsion legal.

In relation to this decision of the Supreme Court, Klodian Çani appealed to the Constitutional Court in May of last year with the claim that he was not guaranteed a proper legal process in the Supreme Court and moreover, this court went beyond its powers by overthrowing the decisions of the two lower courts.

The Constitutional Court ruled in favor of these claims in February of this year and returned the case against him to the Supreme Court for trial. To clarify, the decision of the Constitutional Court is not an acquittal for the charges of smuggling for Klodian Çani, because the nature of the judgments of this court is related only to the procedures, not to the essence of the Case. The Supreme Court will decide on the latter.
