Jamarbër Malltezi and Zeni

Thus, initially, the head of SPAK, Altin Dumani emphasized that he is actively investigating the affair of the privatization of the former club "Partizani", a message that has disturbed the peace of the "Berisha" family, whose members are at risk of prison. This file is in the hands of the Special Prosecutor's Office. It was the deputy of the Socialist Party, Taulant Balla, who in 2020 sued the former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, the former Minister of Defense, Arben Imami, other members of the government led by Berisha, Jamarbër Malltezi, the son-in-law of Sali Berisha, direct beneficiary of this property as well as the head of the Albanian army headquarters together with the administrators and shareholders of the two construction companies in that complex. The Special Prosecutor's Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime is investigating the privatization of the former "Partizani" complex for money laundering.

Ilir Beqaj

Also, the head of SPAK sent a strong message to the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj. He revealed yesterday that the prosecutors are reflecting the suggestions of the Special Anticorruption Court that, for the sterilization file, requested criminal prosecution against two former ministers Shkëlqim Cani and Ilir Beqaj. "The possibility that there are other persons under investigation at any time is not excluded. I have no comment on the judge's decision. It continues to be under investigation by the two prosecutors of the case (Edvin Kondili and Eneid Nakuçi). I have exercised my powers as head of the prosecution as far as the law is concerned. As for the property investigation, it is a practice in SPAK that is carried out both for the criminal offense of corruption and for organized crime, it is a parallel investigation", stated Dumani.

Frida Krifca

Therefore, SPAK confirmed yesterday that it has started investigations into the scandal with EU funds. A few months ago, Brussels cut off the IPARD funds, i.e. the money that goes to agriculture, after suspicions of abuses and corruption, which allegedly involved the former minister of Bujeia, Frida Krifca. A lawsuit has even been filed in SPAK regarding this issue by OLAF. The head of SPAK, Altin Dumani, in a meeting with journalists, has confirmed that they have started investigations into this file. After the case was dismissed for incompetence, there is a new investigation, he said. "Investigations for this file have started and are in the preliminary process. We are verifying whether there is a criminal offense or not", said Dumani.

Arben Ahmetaj

The head of SPAK Altin Dumani has warned today that there will be surprising new developments regarding Arben Ahmetaj, who is still on the run. "We have no concrete data on where Arben Ahmetaj is located. It has been verified and we know clearly when it left Albania. There are new and surprising developments", Dumani stressed to reporters without giving details. The last development made public by the Ahmetaj case was when the Special Court rejected the request of the former number 2 to the government, who requested the removal of the seizure from a bank account, worth 108 thousand euros, which was blocked in a second-level bank in the framework of the property investigation against him. What is Altin Dumani talking about? Has Arben Ahmetaj's hiding place been found? Has he been located and can he be arrested? Ahmetaj, Gjiknuri and some businessmen are being investigated for the incinerator affair, these investigations are expected to bring surprises, leading "VIP" characters behind bars, or as they are otherwise known as untouchables. But this is not the only trouble that threatens former Deputy Prime Minister Ahmetaj. "Prapaskena" learns that it is also about the finalization of another corruption and money laundering file for Arben Ahmetajt. It is about corrupt privatizations, where high officials and businessmen are involved.

Godfather and Balluku

Similarly, Dumani was asked about an investigation into corruption reported by journalist Klodiana Lala, where BKH investigators stopped at the National Environment Agency and the Ministry of Energy, while they are said to have seized the mobile phones of several directors of ministers Belinda Balluku and Mirela Kumbaro. "A corruption investigation, according to sources in the Ministry of Infrastructure, the cellphones of two officials were seized. "Dumani hinted that it is about corruption, but said that the matter is under investigation," journalist Lala stated in a media yesterday. Further, the journalist Klodiana Lala showed that regarding the additional measures, Dumani admitted that he received an armored vehicle but categorically denied the threats and promised to continue his duty to investigate every suspect regardless of the post.

"Beleri" case

On the other hand, in this meeting yesterday, Duman spoke for the first time about the "Beleri" issue, where there were numerous clashes between Athens and Tirana. When asked if they feel pressure due to the pressure Athens has put on Tirana regarding Beler's sentence, he emphasized that the case is being followed calmly and SPAK is not intimidated. "I am not the prosecutor of the case. SPAK does not feel intimidated at all. The matter is being calmly pursued. The case has gone through three judicial levels. He is the same as any other defendant, as long as he has provided all the procedural guarantees", underlined the head of SPAK, Altin Dumani.
