Dokle remains the number 1 accused
After Dokle and Xibra, Ceku, Çela, Kaca, and others are also being verified. The director of “ZP” “ZP” notices a defensive and even auroral posture of the well-fed hero on the road of up to 1,300 dollars and in the bank above 200 thousand dollars
When he became involved in the scandal of 400 thousand dollars involving the couple Kristaq and Sofia Cico, the chairman of the socially oriented Tirana court, Altin Memisha, said last night on the program “Opinion Plus” that the file is now reaching the prosecutor's office and parliament and that checks are being carried out on persons who may be implicated. He mentioned other names besides Dokle, such as Ceku, Çela, Kaca, etc. In any case, the number one person charged with receiving a bribe is the Socialist Namik Dokle. Yesterday a document issued by an American notary came to light, confirming that Dokle received 76,500 dollars from Kristaq Cico. The explanations given so far by Dokle and the newspaper “ZP” have convinced no one. According to “ZP”, Dokle allegedly did not pay the debt with money, but with a house in Tirana, a property of 250 square meters. According to market values, this house is worth around 20 thousand dollars. If we add another 20 thousand dollars as profit that Kristaq Cico may have made from the sale, “ZP” still has to explain the remaining 36,500 dollars. “ZP” also tries to convince public opinion that the American document is not real. Just one week ago, the same newspaper loudly declared that the American document proved it had been mistranslated. However, yesterday that theory failed. That newspaper now says the document is fake. Since the scandal is taking alarming proportions, it is in the public interest to provide explanations not only about Dokle but also about many other figures in the Socialist leadership. It was said yesterday on “Opinion Plus” that bribes are being verified through real estate, bribes placed in foreign banks, as well as other assets. Someone must tell us who paid for Dokle's plane ticket and hotel in the USA. Who later paid the phone bills, around 1,300 dollars? Who allowed him to make customs-free interventions at the airport? Who paid for hotel and restaurant expenses, and were there other people accompanying him? From all indications it is clear that the Socialist leader Namik Dokle must answer before justice. The verification of his corrupt activity must be complete. Who are the others with whom he shared the money of those to whom he did favors? The notarial document, the news story from the newspaper “ZP”, the signatures and the new testimonies also include other well-known names from the judicial, journalistic and political worlds. Today we are publishing the front page of the scandal. We are also publishing one of the latest documents that shed light on this serious case.
N. Dokle lost before justice
N. DOKLE: “The people of Korça blocked two excursions to Italy for the Parisian village five jesh [150 m] and 2 days, [150 m] and [100 m] which total between 11,500 and 35 million lek” The Socialist leader Namik Dokle has come back to life after [many?] days. The man of 76,500 dollars had been hiding in the office of the newspaper “ZP”. Now he has begun a shameless counterattack to cover up his filth. The problem is that neither N. Dokle nor “ZP” can convince anyone that the document coming from New York is fake. It contains the entry number at the notarial office in the USA, the American seal, the correct names and the notary's signature. The document has all the marks of authenticity. It is also absurd to think that the newspaper “ZP” fabricated its story about the 76,500-dollar column. Moreover, Sofia Çiço herself told Albanian television that she had sent the money to Namik Dokle in the bank. Under these conditions N. Dokle has no other path than to give accurate explanations of how and why he received this money. For reasons now known, N. Dokle tries to lie to Albanians that he allegedly received the sum of 76,500 dollars in exchange for the sale of the house. This is another ordinary lie by Dokle. The supposed 250-square-meter house in the most luxurious area of Tirana cannot be worth more than 20 thousand dollars. So more than half of the amount still remains unjustified. From the known [statements?], that ZP valued it at 50 thousand dollars, it emerges that 26,500 dollars remain uncovered. From this it becomes clear that the argument of the sale of the house, manipulated with its value, is false and ridiculous. Moreover, the main questions remain unanswered: where did Dokle get a 250-square-meter house in the center of Tirana; did he declare that property; why did he register it in the names of others; did he pay taxes on the sale? If no such house exists, then we are dealing with a double fraud, a disguised corruption. Continued on page 2
The chairman of changes and the union pay without censorship
-From the press conference of the chairman of the Independent Trade Union of Albania
Yesterday at the press conference, Mr. Nurek Guni, chairman of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Albania, presented the views of KSSH regarding the changes to the law “On social insurance” submitted to the Assembly of Albania. He said that KSSH opposes undertaking these changes to the law without first having a clear study of the social impact. According to him, the draft law contains only changes with financial effects. The Criminal Code is denouncing uncertainty in pension businesses, explained Mr. Guni. “Different criteria cannot be set for old-age insurance. Agricultural workers have lower wages and cannot pay more than 40 percent of insurance,” he said. The chairman of KSSH requested that the draft submitted to the Assembly be discussed more broadly in public opinion and also be consulted with interested groups. Mr. Guni repeated that the trade unions are against decisions taken in haste. Continued on page 2
