230 days of lies and public deception by Erion Veliaj and Mero Baze

Today marks 230 days since the public lies and deception of the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and his media soldier, Mero Baze, regarding the claims and accusations against prosecutor Ols Dado.

Although 230 days have passed, neither Veliaj nor his family's journalist, Mero Baze, have published any facts or documents that substantiate the claims about prosecutor Ols Dado, who according to them requested additional information on the construction permit and, having received the alleged refusal from Veliaj, has launched investigations against the mayor.

For 230 days, CNA has continuously requested that Mero Baze and Erion Veliaj publish the document signed by Ols Dado for an addition to the construction permit and the mayor's signed refusal for this permit.

(But the document does not exist, just like the Tirana incinerator)

As we have previously stated, these claims and accusations are nothing more than an attack on justice. Veliaj, who is facing 13 charges for 5 serious criminal offenses, claims a conflict of interest and has not released any documents for more than 7 months.

Meanwhile, he is being sued and investigated by prosecutor Ols Dado, who is attacking him with an administrative lawsuit because he has not completed his magistracy, when half of prosecutors, perhaps even more than that, are not magistrates.

Zdromsi is publicly lying about Ols Dado, who has passed the vetting process and has become part of the Special Prosecution Office. On the other hand, Veliaj himself, in the first investigations he conducted, was charged with no less than 13 serious criminal charges.

Below we present the claims of Erion Veliaj and Mero Baze:

Veliaj's claims

In point 135, Veliaj says that prosecutor Ols Dado obtained a building permit from the Municipality of Tirana and then requested an addition to the permit and this was refused.

While in point 136 of the document without a seal and signature, Erion treats this as a matter of "revenge" on the part of prosecutor Ols Dado, because, according to him, he was not granted a construction permit for the addition after he made a request.

Why doesn't Veliaj issue the document with Ols Dado's signature and the refusal with his own signature?

Mero Baze's claim

Mero Baze says that, according to him, the investigation against Veliaj is being insistently requested by a prosecutor, who months ago had a personal conflict with him, regarding his requests for a construction permit outside the legal criteria that the municipality had.

Why doesn't Mero Baze confirm Veliaj's "Theme"? Why doesn't he publish the document signed by Ols Dado and the refusal signed by Erion Veliaj?

These are the lies told by Veliaj and his family journalist Mero Baze in 230 days. While the truth is one and only, that Erion Veliaj has committed serious criminal offenses: corruption, abuse of office, laundering criminal proceeds, bringing prohibited items into the cell and concealing assets.

Veliaj, even though he is facing accusations and facts, is afraid to face justice and has been continuing for several months with the tactic of postponing court hearings. /CNA
