The Ministry of Justice presented the draft of an entire Criminal Code, which proposes, among other things, the possibility of conditional release of those sentenced to life imprisonment. The new legal document was drafted by a working group headed by the head of the School of Magistrates, Arben Rakipi, the same one who shared the novelties of the draft.
"We have had some obstacles in the law related to the application of parole in relation to life imprisonment. People change, people improve, if the conditions in which they are placed and the work with them is effective ," said Rakipi.
The draft also provides for a change in the age limit for minors.
"We have increased the age limit and have foreseen that if certain other conditions set out in the law are met, a 21-year-old can also be treated as a minor."
The Minister of Justice made a public invitation to the parliamentary opposition to contribute to the new Code.
"To the opposition of my country, to contribute with expertise and active participation in the public consultation tables. The new Criminal Code is a state and joint act of Albanians. Albania is going to the EU, not just a government or a certain political force," said Manja.
While the head of the Supreme Court said that he and the professional community were not yet familiar with the final version of the project, he shared the conviction of what the new Code should represent.
Among the innovations in the new Code project was the criminalization of several new offenses, such as cyberterrorism, sophisticated tax evasion, trafficking in 3D printed weapons, food fraud, obstruction of justice, conflict of interest of the lawyer and failure to appear at the hearing, as well as murder with the victim's consent, or causing suicide through bullying.
