The state entangled with pyramid schemes

MPs from the DP and leaders of other political parties lose their deposits A high-ranking politician in negotiations to unblock Sudja? MPs from the DP and leaders of other political parties lose their deposits. The state entangled with pyramid schemes. A high-ranking politician in negotiations to unblock Sudja? • Contradictory information; newspapers spread rumors • When will Sudja begin distributing the money: tomorrow, or on Wednesday, December 18? • Will clients get back the money they deposited, the money and the interest, or will they come away empty-handed? • A 55-year-old woman has gone mad and is being treated at the psychiatric hospital in Tirana, while a doctor from Vlora has suffered a pre-infarction. ● Two managers collected money at 6% a month to put it into “Grunas” at 10%, exploiting the name of “Gjallica” to do so. ● 10 journalists, police chiefs and even MPs from the DP have fallen into the fraudsters’ trap, while in other parties, too, some leaders have lost their deposits with Sudja. ● To make himself seem trustworthy, one of the usurers had a photomontage made showing Bill Clinton standing beside him. This photo, presented to clients as a guarantee, is now at the police station. Page 4

USAID: More than 80,000 dollars in investments in Lezhë

For three years, Lezhë has lived with the anxiety of floods. In recent days, too, thousands of hectares of crops, as well as homes, have faced the fear and terror of rising waters. To prevent this phenomenon, so common in this district, USAID has a special program worth more than 80,000 dollars, aimed at afforesting an area of 18,400 ha. The project will cover areas such as Manati, Gjadër and Balldren, which lie below water level. This fund will also be used to repair and maintain the existing drainage pumping stations, which have been damaged. T. Leskaj
