A revised Code of Criminal Procedure in Albania is drawing criticism from judges, prosecutors, and civil society organizations. The bill, intended to address pretrial detention issues, is perceived by many as a deliberate attempt to weaken the country’s anti-corruption efforts. Concerns center around the potential “neutering” of a specific anti-graft body that has reportedly strained relations with Prime Minister Edi Rama. Opponents fear the changes will hinder investigations into high-level corruption within Albania. The proposed legislation has ignited debate about the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability. Critics argue the bill prioritizes political interests over genuine judicial reform in Albania. This development raises questions about the future of anti-corruption initiatives in the country.
