Lawyer Alban Duraj was invited this morning to the show "Time to Wake Up", where he spoke about the current situation in the justice system and the consequences of the Reform since its implementation.
"The state of justice in the country has deteriorated. I was among those who supported the Justice Reform, because we believed that Albanian citizens would face a fairer system. But the reality today is different," said Duraj.
According to him, changes in the system and the massive departure of judges and prosecutors have brought about a significant blockage in the handling of judicial cases.
"About 60 percent of the magistrates who have been in the system have left, causing a collapse due to the high number of files," the lawyer stressed.
Duraj added that delays in the system have become alarming:
“On average, it takes 10 years for a case to go to the Supreme Court.”
Alban Duraj: The state of justice in the country has deteriorated. I was one of those who supported the reform in Justice because we thought that Albanians were not facing a fair investigation and justice. But in reality, these days, with the changes that have occurred and with the departure of judges and prosecutors from the system, almost 60 percent of the magistrates who have been in the system have left, bringing about collapse due to the high number of files. On average, it now takes 10 years for a case to go to the Supreme Court.
