Adnan Xholi was the first among the 4 candidates in the race for head of SPAK to appear before the members of the KLP, initially providing an overview of his work experience.
The uncompromising fight against corruption and organized crime has been described as one of the main priorities by Xholi, while he added that the protection of prosecutors and the institution is also very important.
"It was a privilege to apply for this position. I meet all the established criteria. We have achieved unquestionable success, but the time has come for quality investigations that will lead to the identification, seizure and confiscation of criminal assets," said Xholi, who described SPAK as his 'second family', explaining that he spends more time with his fellow prosecutors than with his biological family.
The candidate for head of SPAK requested maximum attention from all institutions in the fight against organized crime, while emphasizing the need for rapid investigations and the presentation of irrefutable evidence in Court.
"SPAK is in an important period of consolidation where the implementation of the institution's strategies is directly related to the uncompromising fight against corruption of senior officials and organized crime.
I appreciate all the candidates and regardless of today's result, I will support them in their work.
"We work with each other and they are my family in the justice system. I spend more time with them than with my biological family," he said.
With 27 years of experience in the prosecution body, Xholi said that he started from a basic role to the highest management functions in the Albanian Prosecution system.
"I have led several investigations across a wide range, both into corruption and organized crime," said Xholi.
He said he is the leader of 5 joint investigative teams with European Union countries and the United Kingdom.
"I have investigated issues related to international drug trafficking, I have faced high-risk subjects, and the investigations have led to the seizure and subsequent confiscation of assets of criminal groups," said Xholi.
He said that the success of every prosecutor is measured in court and not by the number of people he arrests or the proceedings he initiates.
There are four candidates in the race: Klodian Braho, Doloreza Musabelliu, Adnan Xholi and Elvin Gokaj. As planned, at 09:00, hearings with each of them began. According to the KLP, the interviews will be conducted in alphabetical order, and each candidate will be interviewed for 45 minutes.
The US representative, Van Horn, and the EU ambassador, Silvio Gonzato, are absent from the hearing.
After the sessions, a vote is expected to take place, where the candidate who receives the most votes will be declared the winner. The race for the leadership of SPAK has aroused high interest, due to the importance of this institution in investigating high-level corruption and the sensitive files it holds.
"On the eve of tomorrow's election of the new head of SPAK, where Ambassador Gonzato will be present together with the ambassadors of EU member states, he expressed confidence that the members of the KLP will show the highest level of accountability and will ensure that the Special Prosecution Office is led by a person of unquestionable integrity, independent, professional and committed to the best EU standards," the EU embassy announced.
