The scandal over the incinerator concession, also called the biggest corruption scandal in these 30 years of democracy, for which a former minister has been arrested, continues to deepen. CNA.al has provided other documents, which show how the owners of the incinerator concession have paid themselves for “consulting”.

According to the table presented below, in only 7 bills of 2021, the owners of incinerators, have paid millions of Lek to the company “Zoto Consulting”. The table clearly shows that the company in question is regularly paid about 6 million Lek per month.

So in total he’s got 42 million Lek or 42.000 dollars in just 7 months. So Klodian Zoto himself has paid himself $42.000 in just 7 months. But who is ZOTO Consulting? According to the official statement, ZOTO Consulting was registered in the National Business Center on September 15, 2017, and the main shareholder is Klodian Zoto with 90 percent of the shares, and Denisa Tollkuçi with only 10 percent of the shares.

The latter is a name that also appears on incinerators. So Klodian Zoto advises himself and pays himself with millions of Lek per month. But not only Zoto needs to be advised by Zoto. Even Stela Gugallja, the owner of the Elbasan incinerator, who is currently wanted by the police, has paid for consulting herself.

According to the document below, in 7 invoices of 2021, “Consulting SE Partners”, was paid in the amount of about 11 million Lek per month, or 11.000 dollars, by the owners of the incinerators. So in just 7 months, this company has been paid over 70 million Lek ose ver 70.000 dollars by the owners of incinerators.

“Consulting SE Partners” was registered on NBC on October 6, 2017 and Stela Gugallja has 80 percent of the shares, while Julia Demneri has 20 percent. The latter is also an administrator from September 25, 2021. While before this date, the administrator was Stela Gugallja, the owner of the incinerator in Elbasan.

So, like Klodian Zoto, Stela Gugalla was paid to consult herself. On the other hand, we remind here that in some exclusive articles, CNA.al has shown how the owners of incinerators are in partnership with owners or media executives.

Also, through documents, CNA.al has shown how the “garbage” has silenced many media, but also the so-called journalists, who come out and do public advocacy for this affair. The documents show how millions of euros were paid, television, or even suburban portals. But even the owners themselves have been paid for consulting./CNA.al

The April 25 parliamentary election campaign bled in its last days. On April 21, a few days before the elections in Elbasan, was killed Pjerin Xhuvani. In that event, 2 people were injured, a police officer, a passer-by and another citizen, the son-in-law of the late Xhuvani.

Today, more than 10 months later, this crime, which is suspected to have political motives, has only one person arrested as the perpetrator. He is Arbër Paplekaj. In fact, it is the latter who fired the weapon in the direction of Xhuvani. But the story that led to the bloodshed of the election campaign didn’t start at that moment.

It is suspected that political actors are also involved, such as Gazment Bardhi, who at that time was the political leader of the Democratic Party in Elbasan, and the first in the list of candidates for MPs in the Elbasan region. Bardhi was moving in Elbasan accompanied by groups of armed people, claiming that he was defending the votes, which later produced a murder.

But Bardhi has also been accused of connections with the gangs. He was even warned by the DP allies not to guarantee anything to the gangs. This was confirmed by the chairwoman of the SMI, Monika Kryemadhi, on a television show in November 2021.

At first, Gazment Bardhi considered the event politically motivated, and denied any connection to Arbër Paplekaj. According to Bardhi, the victim was a member of the electoral staff of Taulant Balla, and in his car were found money and identity cards of citizens suspected of having sold their vote.

But on Thursday evening in the show “Opinion” on TV Klan in front of the journalist Klodiana Lala, Bardhi denied that the murder of Pjerin Xhuvani had political motives. He even said that Arbër Papleka is not a murderer, and according to him, the only responsibility for the murder lies with those who incited the gangs to confront or attack the Democratic Party militants.

But what was his role? Wasn’t in the role of the instigator of the gangs? The person who created the armed groups, the so called Vote Protection Structure, outside of any legal definition, and who associated with armed persons?

These are some questions for which Gazment Bardhi must be held accountable as an accomplice in the crime. Also in the show “Opinion”, the former General Director of the State Police, Agron Kuliçaj, reacted to the accusations of the latter regarding the clashes of January 8.

He mentioned the name of Ardit Meçe as a member of Gazment Bardhi’s accompanying group in Elbasan during the election campaign. This accusation has destabilized Bardhi. Justice must go to the end of this issue, and hold accountable and responsible Gazment Bardhi./CNA.al

An exclusive video provided by CNA.al, shows how two people were buying food for paramilitaries or people trapped in the headquarters of the Democratic Party in support of Lulzim Basha. The video was shot on the day of the protest, in one of the shopping malls near the headquarters of the Democratic Party.

We can clearly see two people who have filled two carts with sandwiches at one of the service premises in this shopping center. What is this video and what does it show? First, the video shows two people in a commercial center.

They are seen filling two carts with sandwiches and snacks. It is easy to understand to whom these sandwiches are taken. They are taken to some people who are trapped inside the Democratic Party headquarters. Because the other people who had entered the early hours of the morning did not need to be fed.

After the clashes they came out, and went to their homes and families. Therefore, it is the food that was taken to Lulzim Basha’s detainees. Those who many opposition voices have described as paramilitaries, criminal groups, problematic persons who were locked in the headquarters of the Democratic Party on January 8, in “protection” of Lulzim Basha.

The dismissed chairman of the Democratic Party, who has already been verified and confirmed that he is staying at the headquarters only to use the latter for a bargain with Edi Rama, to get permission for the construction of several multi-storey towers on the land where is located the DP headquarters.

So CNA.al publishes a video-fact, which shows that two sandwich carts are sent to the DP headquarters, for Basha, his paramilitaries, people brought from Kumanovo, Kosovo and other individuals who used violence against democrats, threw gas, used chemicals against protesters, injuring dozens of them. And they did this only to keep the DP at all costs, not in the name of principles, but simply and only to turn it into a tower for Lulzim Basha./CNA.al
