Sath: For 5 years forensic experts have been illegally compensated for 1m euros.

Deputy Justice Minister Blerim Sa God at the media conference has indicated that they have faced a legal violation amounting to 1m euros.

Saun before reporters said it was about a law that had been abolished, however, forensic experts were legally compensated by the Prosecutorial Council for 5 years, thus receiving about 1m euros.

Until Kurti Government's arrival, illegal benefits seem to have been widespread at high levels. Since the beginning of our government mandate, we have pledged that we will work without let the citizens return to institutions. In 2016, on April 6th, the law on legal medicine had been enacted, then all sublaws that were empowered with preliminary law” were abolished, he said, announcing that information about this violation had been made available to former Justice Minister Gift Hoxha.

The “was then written to the former justice minister -- the gift Hoxha arranged for overtime -- under the IML -- was proposed to review the instruction regulating the way of compensation because it was based on laws that were abolished. This law is still in force and is being implemented simultaneously. Despite the law being enacted, the new law and the prosecutorial council had warned former minister of gifts to Hoxha, it had taken no action”, he added.

Because of this inaction, forensic experts have been illegally compensated by the Prosecutorial Council, worth nearly 1m euros for the past five years through administrative instruction. Even after the legal transformation, the prosecutorial council has continued to divide the means illegally, with the directive based on the law being abolished. The value that is legally compensated amounts to about 800 thousand euros”, he says.

This decision enables the stable functioning of legal medicine experts. With this decision coming into force soon, the possibility of IML resources being exploited dies and the amount of money spent on expert accounts, at the expense of the” institute, he said, suggesting they have denounced the case to investigative bodies.
