The Constitutional Court has scheduled for examination in a public plenary session the case concerning the internal regulation of the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK/GJKKO), a request submitted by the Association of Journalists of Albania.
The subject of the request is the annulment, as incompatible with the Constitution of Albania and the European Convention on Human Rights, of decision no. 49, dated 17.07.2026, of the Council of the Special Court of First Instance.
The request concerns the provisions of the Internal Regulation “On security, order, solemnity and rules of conduct within the premises of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime”, specifically those with external, procedural, restrictive and sanctioning effects, among which is the ban on bringing phones into the courtroom during hearings. The request also seeks the suspension of the implementation of these provisions until the final decision of the Constitutional Court takes effect.
