"Balla submitted the lawsuit, he was careful not to be the VKM", Artan Artan Hoxha explained on MCN TV, the chronology of the accusation against former Prime Minister Berisha and his son-in-law, Malltezi, for the privatization of the former "Partizani" complex. Hoxha said that their names were included in the file three years after Taulant Balla submitted the file to SPAK.

"File 287 started with a denunciation of Taulant Balla, in 2020, and was received by the chairman of SPAK, Arben Kraja. Balla had taken care not to deal with VKM as a procedure, but for the pressures that the Prime Minister had intervened and put pressure on the dependent bodies. For almost 4 years, the issue has remained there.

Until October 2023, the case had no names, but on October 3-4, the names of Sali Berisha and Jamarbër Malltez were registered. On October 17, the file goes to the Special Prosecutor's Office. The court decided to take their passports and Malltezi was arrested in a public place on October 21. On October 22, security measures were in custody at the prison. On October 30, Berisha went to house arrest because he is not allowed due to his age.

The accusations come out. Fatmir Bektashi is charged with active corruption, Berisha with passive corruption and money laundering and Jim Begeja himself with money laundering.

It is about 26 thousand square meters, 22 thousand belong to the owners and 4 thousand belong to the state. The builder has kept 40 percent. In "Home Plan", says SPAK, Malltezi, with the help of Berisha, affected 4 thousand meters and became a major shareholder.

In the property investigation, the financing of a payment for a concert in Tirana was investigated, and the Assembly in the stadium was also investigated.

Berisha will continue with this security measure and will follow it with this measure" - said Hoxha.
