KPA argued that the former official had interfered in some investigations, a claim rejected by him.<\/p>\n<p>However, international observers have widely contested the former prosecutor\u2019s claims, particularly Theo Jacobs, who said that Hajdarmataj dodged a case after learning that one of the defendants was his acquaintance.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, KPK made a positive evaluation of his work and reinstated Hajdarmataj in office. But during a second scanning, several problems arose, prompting the Public Commissioner to appeal the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Hajdarmataj graduated with a law degree in 1997 and has been a prosecutor since 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, he worked at the First Instance Court of Tirana, a place he held until 2007. Then he was transferred to Kurbin, and in 2013 to Durres.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, he led the Prosecution of Serious Crimes, and in 2018 he got transferred to Pogradec.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/07\/27\/special-prosecution-closes-corruption-probe-of-former-kruja-judge\/\">Special Prosecution closes corruption probe on former Kruja judge<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/07\/16\/former-general-prosecutors-appeal-trial-postponed-again\/\">Former General Prosecutor\u2019s appeal trial postponed again<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/30\/spak-orders-arrest-of-prosecutor-of-kukes-following-accusations-of-favoritism\/\">SPAK orders arrest of Prosecutor of Kukes, following accusations of favoritism<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Special Appellate College (KPA) discharged prosecutor Besim Hajdarmataj, a move that overturns a previous ruling of the Independent Qualification Commission (KPK) which reinstated him in duty.
