Luan Daci: SPAK charges for falsifying documents (2020)
Status: Charged; trial status not confirmed
Summary
Exit.al reported on 22 July 2020 that SPAK formally charged vetting judge Luan Daci with falsifying documents. The reported basis is that he concealed a High Judicial Council dismissal decision during his interview with a parliamentary committee and claimed he had resigned. The complaint was reportedly filed by former High Prosecutorial Council member Besnik Cani.
The article says the case was referred to the High Court after a SPAK appeal. The article gives no statement from Daci; a linked headline refers to an appeals-court ruling that he did not falsify documents, which is not confirmed in the original source.

Reported charge over concealed High Judicial Council dismissal.
Hypotheses
Possible explanations that connect this record with other findings. They are not findings; each lists the evidence for and against.
- Source label: Unverified
Asset-based vetting dismissals had little criminal follow-up
Vetting dismissals on unjustified assets (Dreni 2020, Kosova 2020) were reported, and SPAK opened probes into dismissed magistrates in June 2020. The follow-up that is documented is limited: one charge (Daci, 2020) and no outcomes found for the rest. An undated Exit.al headline (not confirmed in the original source) says no one dismissed for asset reasons was under investigation by the prosecution office.
Evidence for
- Shqiptarja (3 Aug 2024): dismissals include 145 judges and 110 prosecutors; unjustified assets cited for elite cases.
- Exit.al (23 June 2020): SPAK reportedly received 12 former-judge dossiers; outcome not found.
- Undated Exit.al headline seen in secondary reports: no one dismissed for failing vetting was being investigated (based on the headline only; not confirmed in the original source).
Evidence against
- SPAK did charge Luan Daci in 2020 for concealing a dismissal, showing some follow-up.
- Dismissal is an administrative vetting outcome, not a criminal finding; absence of charges is not proof of inaction.
- The 2024 balance may be incomplete; the source for it is not an official KPK publication.
