The Judicial Council of Kosovo (KGJK) has suspended Judge Avdirrahman Gashi following his arrest. The suspension stems from allegations related to the criminal act of “Abuse of office or official authority,” according to reports from “Betimi për Drejtësi.”
The decision was formally made during the 371st session of the council, which took place on Friday behind closed doors. According to the official announcement from the council, the proceedings involved a thorough review and analysis of the disciplinary case against the judge.
Following this review, the council established an investigative panel. The panel subsequently recommended, and the council decided upon, the immediate suspension of the judge pending a final determination by the full council. The action taken by the kgjk marks a significant disciplinary measure within the judicial system.
The specific charges leveled against the judge relate to the misuse of official authority. The Basic Court in Pristina, Special Department, issued the announcement regarding the matter on August 15. This suspension indicates that the judicial council is taking formal investigative steps regarding the judge’s conduct.
The council’s decision to suspend the judge pending further review underscores the seriousness with which the allegations—specifically abuse of office—are being treated by the governing body. The process remains under the purview of the council as it proceeds toward its final decision.
