The Criminal Court of Appeal has announced the verdict for Alqi Bllako for the Tirana incinerator. The Criminal Court has sentenced him to 4 years in prison. With a summary trial, his sentence is reduced to 2 years and 8 months in prison.

We recall that SPAK requested a sentence of 5 years in prison and 5 years out of public office for Alqi Bllako.

SPAK had prepared 52 pages of final conclusions on the case of Alqi Bllako, suspected of the criminal offense of "passive corruption".

Vladimir Bezhani was fictitiously employed and received 7 million and 5 thousand lekë. Alqi Bllako is suspected of receiving 119 thousand euros for beverage carbonation equipment for his father's company, from the company that won the concession for the construction of the Tirana incinerator.

Bllako helped to prepare the feasibility study. He maintained contact with citizen Klodian Zoto. Vladimir Bazhani was hired as an external advisor to Lefter Koka by Alqi Bllako. Bezhani assisted the de facto owners of the company for the construction of the incinerator from the initial phase until the unsolicited proposal was made.

This proposal was prepared by Bezhani. There was also a series of other documentation at the service of the company that won the concession for the construction of the Tirana incinerator. They also prepared the documentation for granting the 8% bonus to this company in order for the latter to win the concession.

The unsolicited proposal did not include any costs for the proposing company. Bllako sent a response to the Council of Ministers, stressing that this proposal would not cause any damage to the state budget.

According to SPAK, it is proven that Alqi Bllako has received irregular benefits in two cases./ CNA
