The prosecution confirmed the conviction of Irena Gjoka/Berisha: Forger by court

The President of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, at today's press conference commented on the completion of the verification by the General Prosecutor's Office of the judge of the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime, Irena Gjoka, regarding her statements in the Self-Declaration Form dated April 22, 2016.

Berisha said that yesterday, what the DP said in March 2024 was confirmed. He said that judge Irena Gjoka has a criminal conviction in Greece as a "forger, as well as two deportations from the neighboring country and the Schengen area."

The leader of the Democrat Party said that Judge Gjoka should be dismissed immediately after, according to him, she refused to declare her conviction in Greece, the process in the administrative court, the criminal conviction and two deportations.

Berisha said that this judge is protected by Prime Minister Edi Rama for his own interests.

Berisha's full speech:

Yesterday, the media distributed the delayed confirmation of the General Prosecutor's Office, after 21 months, of what we have been saying since March 2024. Irena Gjoka has a criminal conviction in Greece as a forger, as well as two deportations from the neighboring country and the Schengen area.

She is a certified forger by court decision, an offense for which she was sentenced to prison as a forger, later converted into a fine. This criminal decision has become final. Likewise, she has been expelled from the Greek state twice. Namely on 24.12.2002 and two months later, on 13.02.2003.

She was fully aware of these evictions and authorized a lawyer with a power of attorney to challenge them in the Greek judicial bodies. Her lawyers challenged the measures, including in the administrative court.

This court dismissed the appeal with decision 320 of 2006, due to the irregularity of the power of attorney issued by Irena with 5 surnames. So, here too, expulsions, these expulsions took final form. The habit of forgery comes out with the soul. Irena Gjoka continued her forgeries in Albanian justice, as a judge in the Court of Serious Crimes and later as a judge and president of the GJKKO.

She has not reported her convictions to the Supreme Court of Justice, as required by Law 96/2016 on the status of judges and prosecutors of the Republic of Albania, Article 28 D and 66/3. Article 28 D of the law provided that a magistrate cannot have status in a country that has not been convicted of a final criminal decision. So, a criminal decision is the word and does not define it as some lawyers want to give it deadlines. We recall that this law is a law approved by 3/5.

The president of each court also has the obligation to notify the Supreme Court of Justice when he becomes aware of such data about the judges in his court.

But the forger did not hesitate to accept the position of president of the GJKKO in 2022 and not to declare her conviction and deportations from the neighboring country.

According to Law 138/2015, the decriminalization law, a law approved by 3/5, concealment, refusal to declare judgments, sentences, whether or not final, by foreign authorities for any type of criminal offense or deportation measure, causes the immediate termination of the judge's function, and constitutes a criminal offense that includes a prison sentence.

Irena Gjoka, as a judge of the Serious Crimes Court, as a judge at the GJKKO, as president of the GJKKO and as a subject of vetting, has in all these capacities had the obligation to fill out declaration forms according to the law and to disclose the existence of a criminal trial, a criminal conviction, two deportations and an administrative trial.

The forger has not done this in any case. This, therefore, has, as it is with 5 adjectives, as many forgeries, frauds. According to law 95/2016, the law on special structures of the Court, the Prosecutor's Office and the BKH, the law approved by 3/5, all those who wanted to work in these structures had to declare whether they had convictions inside or outside the country, final or not, for any kind of legal violation.

And Irena Gjoka has again not declared her conviction in Greece, the administrative court process, the criminal conviction, and two deportations.

Refusal to declare constitutes grounds for her immediate dismissal.

So, according to the three laws approved by 3/5, Irena Gjoka, the icon of Sorosian justice reform, should not have been a magistrate at least since the entry into force of the decriminalization law, but she hid her criminal conviction and expulsions and did not report them in accordance with the law.

Irena Gjoka, with 5 surnames, should not have been a judge based on the Constitution of Albania, as Article 6, Section 1, provides that a person whose public integrity has been violated cannot continue to hold office in constitutional bodies.

I quote: 'The election, appointment or exercise of a public function in one of the bodies provided for in this Constitution, or established by law, is prohibited, notwithstanding the provisions made in other provisions of this Constitution, if circumstances are verified that violate the integrity of the public functionary, according to the conditions and rules determined by law approved by 3/5 of all members of the Assembly.'

Irena Gjoka, as you saw, has kicked three laws with 3/5 of the Albanian Parliament. This constitutional legal ban is not a whim of the law.

It is a guarantee mechanism for the integrity of magistrates and public officials, judicial processes, human rights and the rule of law.

The facts about Irena Gjoka were fully known to the justice authorities. Albania is a small country and her deportation from Greece was widely known, although documentary evidence was not freely circulated.

Apparently, this evidence was in the possession of Edi Rama's gang, who decided to protect and promote a forger with a record at the head of the reformed judiciary.

In violation of the Constitution and laws with the aim of using it as a tool for political processes against the opposition. The facts were first made public by a Greek newspaper and then by official documents with apostille seals brought and submitted to the competent Albanian bodies in February 2024.

But the Ministry of Justice, from Ulsi... I don't remember, to do him honor, we should call him Ulsi Vuitton, the thief, let's call him... began sending questions to Greek bodies that had nothing to do with these documents, but only as a ploy to delay the response.

The General Prosecutor's Office dragged it out for 21 months or 20 months, supposedly investigating the case.

This is only because Irena Gjoka was charged with all political processes. Already, confirmed as such, in 7 international resolutions... confirmed as such in the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Subcommittee on Europe of the United States Congress.

All the political trials against opposition leaders and their arrests in the election year, as well as the files of Rama's strategic allies, criminals that the latter had an interest in releasing.

Irena Gjoka imposed the measure of compulsory reporting and a ban on leaving the country against Sali Berisha and Jamarbër Malltezi, for the falsification that the land was expropriated by Italy, when the law published in the official gazette stated the opposite, that the property belonged to the owners and had never been expropriated by the Italian authorities.

And that the property was in the distribution plan, at a time when the presidential decree and the very result of the investigation signed by the OPGJ said that it was not in the distribution plan. Berisha had changed, he said, the VKM on securities and then had it strengthened... a claim that not even the prosecution had said at the time, but was invented by the chief falsifier of justice, when in fact that VKM is still in force today, with the same content, as far as the owners are concerned.

Meanwhile, Rama defends the forgery in all his organs.

On November 2023, the Supreme Court of Justice (KLGJ) gives lawyers the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice (KLD) regarding the dismissal of Irena Gjoka in 1996 by the Supreme Court headed by Sali Berisha.

But two weeks later, the same Supreme Court lies to Democratic Party MPs by writing that there is no decision... there are no decisions of the Supreme Court of Kosovo from 1996.

In March 2024, the newspaper 'Tanea' published an article stating that Irena Gjoka had been deported from Greece, and on March 4, 2024, the Supreme Court of Justice issued a statement in defense of Irena instead of investigating her according to the law.

On 4.05.2024, the newspaper 'Protothema' publishes the court decision for the deportation of Irena Gjoka.

On May 7, 2004 (2024), the General Prosecutor's Office declares that it is launching an investigation.

So May 2024 has passed, the 25th, and they are heading towards May 26th, what do you think, two years or so... He declares that he is launching an in-depth investigation.

On May 13, 2024, my lawyers, Sali Berisha, presented the newspaper article to Irena Gjoka at the hearing and asked her to resign if the facts are true, arguing that these facts constitute a disqualifying criterion for exercising the duties of a magistrate and would invalidate the process due to the violation of the criteria set by law.

Forger and fraudster Irena Gjoka asked her lawyers for evidence and refused to resign. The request for the forger's exclusion was rejected on May 17, 2024.

On May 2, 2025, the Court of Ioannina issues the decision with an apostille stamp not only for the two deportations of Irena Gjoka, but also the final criminal decision against the fraudulent, delinquent forger.

On May 5, 2025, at the doors of the party's SKAP, Sali Berisha published the document with an apostille stamp, presented the document with an apostille stamp in front of the doors of the party's SKAP.

On May 5, 2025, Irena Gjoka, in the ongoing crime, denies having been convicted or deported from Greece in an interview she gives to 'Birn', the newspaper 'Birn'.

On May 6, 2025, the 2003 power of attorney that Irena Gjoka had issued to notaries in Fier to hire lawyers to challenge the deportation decisions from Greece was released.

It took 30 months to investigate the apostille of the criminal decision. In the meantime, the games with deportations will continue because they have not expressed their opinion on them.

The infamous Constitutional Court has served Edi Rama and his use of justice as a weapon against the opposition, and when the above facts were brought forward in a request to determine the violation of the legitimacy of the procedure of the Court established by law, it stated that until the Supreme Court and the vetting have dismissed it, it is presumed to be honest and clean.

Can you imagine such integrity of Irena of the Constitutional Court?

Listen, this is very interesting. As far as the judge in question is concerned, while he was in office, he acted within the conditions of legitimacy in the exercise of his functions in this specific case and consequently the claim is clearly without legal basis.

Decision 22, section 25, points 15.1.1 and 30, of the Constitutional Court's Irenave. Is there a more shameful decision than this?

Three laws with 3/5 and one constitutional article.

From the above, the forger Irena Gjoka has hidden not one act, but a criminal trial, a criminal conviction, two expulsions and an administrative trial. Five acts.

She has concealed these facts and falsified reporting forms in at least 5 cases. She has concealed them from the justice bodies, the Supreme Court of Kosovo, where she should have reported them as a judge and as the president of the GJKKO court according to the obligation arising from Law 96/2016 on the status of judges... Articles 28 and 66.

The KLGJ hid them from the justice bodies, where they should have reported them at the moment of their appointment as judges in the GJKKO according to law 95/2016...

He falsified reporting forms, the moment of initial reporting under the 2017 decriminalization law.

He falsified the decriminalization forms that he was required to complete by law when he passed the judges' exams at the Criminal Court in 2019.

She falsified the decriminalization forms that, according to the law, she had to fill out at the moment of her appointment as the president of the GJKKO court.

He falsified the declaration forms that should have contained this data during the vetting process.

She falsified the official acts of a criminal trial by hiding her conviction when Sali Berisha's lawyers requested her resignation on May 13, 2024 due to the criminal verdict published in the Greek media.

She committed a continuing criminal offense when she made a false public statement about 'Birn' a few months ago. The law in these cases is very clear.

The forger bears criminal responsibility for all these forgeries made with the intention of serving Edi Rama politically and escaping justice. / CNA
