Up until the first half of September, the IQC had processed almost all of the 57 judges and prosecutors that were set as a priority in this process, with 24 having been dismissed thus far.
An important role in the gathering of information, outside official channels, belongs to Albanian citizens, who can report their own knowledge on specific subjects.
Although in favor of political vetting, the parliamentary majority has requested an extension to the process that would include screening family members of politicians and evaluating their fortune.
