The Special Appeals Commission has confirmed the exclusion from the justice system for the Tirana Court of Appeal judge Fatos Qato leaving the decision taken by the Independent Qualification Commission in force.
The Tirana Appeal Judge could not justify the property, a 144 m2 Tirana apartment purchased in 1997 for $ 28,000 and a land in Pogradec.
Thus, Qato is ultimately out of justice after failing to pass the vetting filters.
