The Parliamentary Committee "On Civic Initiatives, Cooperation and Institutional Oversight", headed by Fatmir Xhafaj, has made a request for a monitoring visit to the Special Prosecutor's Office, regarding the implementation of measures in the fight against money laundering.
But SPAK says 'no' to the meeting with the Xhafaj commission, which was suggested to be held on February 6, 2026. SPAK's response states that the commission's requests contradict the independence of this institution.
"Any practice of conducting such monitoring visits would conflict with the constitutional independence of the Special Prosecution Office. This independence is not only a formal legal requirement, but also a fundamental condition for ensuring independent, impartial and efficient investigations, in the protection of the public interest and the rule of law. In the continuation of the dialogue and inter-institutional cooperation with the Commission, the Special Prosecution Office remains committed to contributing to the transmission of any necessary information in order to fulfill its constitutional and legal obligations.
In conclusion, the Special Prosecution Office expresses its disagreement with the implementation of the monitoring visit scheduled by you on 06.02.2026, a visit which it considers to be in violation of the law and a violation of the independence of the Special Prosecution Office," SPAK's response states.
