In Albania's vetting process, 500 out of 800 individuals did not pass.

Omissions

• The claim does not cite any source for the figures '800' and '500'. The European Commission's 2025 Rule of Law Report confirms the vetting process was finalised in first instance, but the exact totals across all vetted individuals (judges and prosecutors combined) could not be extracted from the accessible sources.
• The Verfassungsblog article mentions 'some sixty percent' of Albanian judges failing the asset verification component specifically — this covers only judges (not prosecutors) and only one of the three vetting pillars (asset verification), not the full vetting process (which also includes background checks and proficiency assessments).
• Earlier data from 2019 showed 80 dismissals out of 185 evaluated (~43%), indicating the failure rate increased significantly as the process progressed. By its conclusion, the rate was substantially higher.
