David Packouz's statements/ Shkëlzen Berisha refutes: Slander from

Berisha excels

In a long interview on the "Connect" Podcast on July 7 of this year, David Packouz talked about the contract with the government for the trade of ammunition, where he also mentioned the son of the leader of the DP, Sali Berisha, Shkëlzen Berisha.

Packouz has spoken about the 300 million dollar contract with senior officials and Shkëlzen Berisha. After the interview, Shkëlzen Berisha reacted, clarifying how the truth is according to him.

Shkëlzen Berisha emphasizes that it is a slander that comes from the media statements of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

He underlines that in no case was there any meeting, contact or acquaintance between him and Diveroli, as the slanderers claim.

"Out of respect for public opinion, I have to put down for several times, a slander that is brought up again and again, the master thief of the renaissance is caught red-handed in the next theft! I repeat that, in no case was there any meeting, contact or acquaintance between me and Diveroli, as claimed by the paid slanderers and Ram's media outlets, who try to serve the opinion as a new dish, a dish of broken for 16 years!

This time they tried to bring as evidence for my alleged involvement in a fraud story the podcast of David Packouz convicted of fraud by US justice!

The person in question in his podcast does not claim for a moment that he met me or that he witnessed any meeting between me and Efraim Diveroli, but he quotes as the only source what Diveroli told him 16 years ago!

Meanwhile, Diveroli himself (that is, Packouz's source), admitted before the American court and under oath not only that he never met me, but that he lied on purpose to get support and attention for his business from the diplomats of his country in Tirana!

By analogy, it is the same as if Rame's statements bring you Veliaj's statements that Griselda's unborn child was really taken from her because that's what she told Rame, although the latter has admitted before the court that she invented and deceived!

Attached is Diveroli's statement (original and translated into Albanian) in court where he publicly admits that he lied and that he has never met me!", writes Shkëlzen Berisha.

David Packouz interview

The part that he talks about his relationship with Diveroli in Albania is explained in full below:

He goes to Albania. And he talks to the head of the export company Ylli Pinari and shows him the documents. Ylli takes a look at the documents and says "don't show me fake documents."

Wow!!! They are Albanians. Kings in the forgery of documents.

He understood immediately. He (Ylli Pinari, then director of MEICO) knows the industry. He knows he has the lowest price. He knows that Czechs and Ukrainians will not give cheaper prices than him. Because they will have to pay you to dismantle them if they don't sell them. So he knew he had the lowest price. He understood immediately, so he told him "don't show me your fake documents".

Ephraim continued pestering him: "I definitely need this." You have to give me a better offer. We work together directly, we don't need Henry. I will do other business with you in the future. We are in the process of winning other contracts. I swear!"

In the end, Ylli says: I will arrange a meeting with the person who will make this decision. And secures a meeting with the person called Delijorgji. Delijorgji, we found out later, was the head of the Albanian mafia. And in some way he is involved with this and is connected with the prime minister's son, who was present at the meeting.

This is how it is done everywhere, in Russia and in many countries of origin.

The government and the Mafia work hand in hand with each other.

Totally.

Delijorgji tells Diverol that he knows you want a better price for the ammunition and he knows you are paying someone else, Kosta Trebicka, another Albanian, to repack the ammunition. So why don't you give me the repackaging contract. I repack them, make money from the repacking contract and can give you a cheaper price on the ammo.

And Ephraim says yes. I think it's a very good idea. He's gone, let's get started! And start to repack the ammunition.

Kosta, who owned the packaging company, calls me and says: "I heard that you will change the packaging supplier. I understand, it's just business, I'm out of tricks. But I have $20,000 worth of cash left over that I was planning to use on this contract. You're going to need these anyway, so why don't you buy them from me so I don't waste $20,000 on these boxes?

I said to Ephraim, why don't we buy these boxes from him?

Do you know how it is?

Delijorgji will have nothing to do with that. They bought the boxes. They don't need it. Then why don't we give him $20,000, because we left him in the mud.

Diviroli says: why what will he do?

Ephraim, he knows everything. I know about repacking though because we are doing it. Give $20,000. We have a 300 million dollar contract. Let's not forget it. And above all, he is Albanian. You are in Albania. At this point Ephraim had fled Albania and the people we were making this deal with were organized crime and they weren't going to let this man do anything. So he said to me: what will he do? There is nothing to do. Don't bother with this business anymore.

I told him that was a very bad idea, but it's your money. Kosta got really upset and called the New York Times and told them what we were doing. And got the FBI and told them what we were doing. And his biggest mistake was that he contacted the Albanian media and told them that the Albanian politicians were receiving payments in hand for this deal. A week later, he ended up dead in a suspicious car accident. He was found in an empty field on a dirt road where he had been run over by his car. Face to the ground. This happens sometimes. No one asked questions. No one actually believed it was an accident, but they made it look like an accident. So they called it an accident./ CNA
