A new standard of justice is being invented in Albania. This would be a headline for the international media or for diplomats and lawyers of Albania and beyond.
But when you look at who invented this standard, you realize that it is simply the action of a paid mercenary (who stinks) like Mero Baze. Yes, yes, it is the same one who complained about the fact that he did not meet Erion Veliaj when he was checking his anus at the doctor in Durrës. Maybe we are making it a little banal from the beginning, but facts are facts.
The journalist of the Veliaj family, Mero Baze, is even more extremist than the prime minister in his prescriptions towards justice. Edi Rama said investigate, but do not detain them, while Veliaj's Mero says do not investigate them at all. Why is this or that person being investigated, asks Mero as naive, when in fact the person being investigated has paid 300 thousand euros. There is no guilt, there is trouble.
The Prime Minister told us: "Don't arrest corrupt officials, investigate them while they are free." A kind of procedural humanism, which was explained to us as a sign of legal citizenship.
Then the standard was refined even further: “In fact, it’s better not to investigate them at all.”
This is where the "moral" voice (like that of a prostitute expelled from a brothel for immorality) of some media outlets comes into play. Among them is Mero Baze, who explains to us that the investigations into the firm of the brother of the mayor of Tirana could scare away foreign investors. A truly touching concern for the business climate.
So, the new logic is this: if a foreign company pays the mayor's brother's firm to do the "promotion", then investigating this firm becomes almost an act hostile to investment.
If prosecutors Altin Dumani and Ols Dado decide to follow Mero Baze's enlightened advice, then perhaps they should make a small reform in the way the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) works.
First, they should give up on the old and somewhat primitive idea of ??investigating corruption. Because, apparently, investigations have a very dangerous effect: they can upset important people and even – true horror – scare away investors.
Secondly, before any procedural action, they should probably check a new legal criterion: is the case related to a family business in power, an advertising contract, or an interest that may not please the next editorial?
If so, then the wisest procedure would be very simple: put the file in the drawer and throw the key away. For the good of the business climate, of course.
In fact, to avoid misunderstandings in the future, perhaps SPAK could establish a new rule: before opening an investigation, an "editorial opinion" should be obtained in advance from Mero Baze. This saves time for justice, maintains the calm of the government, and allows investors to sleep peacefully.
Because in this new philosophy, the problem is not corruption. The problem is that someone might dare to investigate it.
At this pace recommended by the Prime Minister and advanced by Baze, we will soon reach the perfect formula: the prosecution should not arrest, not investigate, and ideally not even think about cases that may be related to corruption or investigations of officials.
Here we are stuck (not at all), on the prime minister's last thesis. The cure is more harmful than corruption itself.
A country corrupt to the core, since the time of the Ottomans, the only cure is lack of investigation, according to the poor Mero.
The small problem in this story is that Mero Baze himself turns out to be paid by the mayor's brother's firm for advertising in his media. The one who benefits financially from this relationship is also the one who comes out publicly and asks and explains why there should be no investigation.
The new standard of justice seems to be this: don't arrest, don't investigate, and if anyone dares to ask why, bring out an article about "terrorizing investors."
Because, in this new version of reality, the problem is not corruption. The problem is that someone might dare to investigate it.
Furthermore, it would be even better if SPAK prosecutors, with the new standards, should get permission from Mero to investigate who and who not.
I hope they understand this at SPAK, but now Mero must show how and where they will get the permit, at the offices he gained after blackmail and attacks on the businessman and Basha, at the villas in Kodra e Diellit, at the apartments or at the 10 million euro hotel in Ksamil?
Or should they ask for permits from the palaces in Peshtan, where tenders are awarded and deals are made for investments in the south of the country? Where should these SPAK prosecutors ask for permits?
One of the prosecutors could call him personally, send him a message. Or SPAK could issue a press statement and ask for permission, or go to his house like Veliaj did./ CNA
