VEA sold in the United States

Here is the secret document of Alimuçaj's fraud This is how 205 thousand creditors will get their money Alimuçaj sets a 4% levy on turnover, say the declarants TIRANA - The authorization for the sale of VEA is being handled by a foreign company. This was made public by the boss of the fraudulent company "VEA" in a proposal sent to the heads of state. In the three-page document dated April 8 of this year, Alimuçaj says that, through the person representing an American company, he has signed a contract for the sale of VEA's properties, now assets confiscated in favor of the creditors. According to all of Alimuçaj's claims, buyers and 205 million dollars have been secured, through which the creditors will be paid and the state's taxes settled. In fact, it is the same scenario he has been preaching all along. In this proposal, Alimuçaj again reminds the heads of state of the possibility of selling VEA through foreign companies, removing all criminal responsibility from himself. Trying to swallow all his claims himself, which are nevertheless clearly apparent from the document, Alimuçaj admits that the whole game was done in order to avoid prison and responsibility. Once again laying out the plan for the sale of VEA, he takes care to clarify that the sale will be carried out according to American law and not according to Albanian law. In the end, he asks for the help of the Albanian state to release the seized assets and make the transaction possible.

Çeka: They removed me to please the opposition

Interview / The former Interior Minister with the place of Hadaraga TIRANA - Pointing out the names of the bosses of the borrowing companies has in fact caused considerable dissatisfaction. Commenting on his removal from the post of Minister of the Interior, Hekuran Çeka said that the sole reason for his transfer from this duty had been the denunciation of traffickers and bosses of fraudulent companies. "They removed me from the post so that the opposition would be pleased. I have expressed this opinion before as well. I remember that my denunciation of those who were preparing the coup became the reason I was moved," he told "Gazeta Shqiptare". Çeka further says that he denounced by name the people he says were involved in trafficking. "Even though only verbally, I have made this known to those who replaced me and to those responsible for public order. The names of the traffickers are now known. Only courage is needed to arrest them," Çeka continues. On page 4

Havari: I uncovered corruption in agriculture

"My dismissal is Kondi’s personal revenge" Serious accusations from the Director of Agriculture against the Minister of Justice TIRANA - The first June elections for a part of the work of the agricultural sector have brought to light a series of scandals. This is what the former Director of Agriculture, Havari, states, accusing senior officials of the ministry of corruption and abuse. According to him, the complaints he made about several tender procedures and about improper movements in the administration were the main reason for his dismissal. "My dismissal has nothing to do with incompetence. It is Kondi’s personal revenge," Havari declares to "Gazeta Shqiptare". He adds that deals were made with the funds in agriculture, while the real responsible parties were left untouched. Havari warns that he will publish other documents and demands a full investigation into the ministry’s activities. On page 4 Kondi / Havari
