"Tirana's incinerator has caused 40 million euros in damage"/

Journalist Elvi Fundo, invited to the show "A Krasta Show", stated that the delay in the investigation into the Tirana incinerator has caused economic damage amounting to 40 million euros and that the seizure is leading Tirana to collapse.

The journalist said that Prençi has the video evidence before his eyes and Veliaj's signature requesting the Tirana incinerator, but he has not gone to the head who directed it.

Fundo said that Prençi has not followed through on the investigations and is not holding Erion Veliaj accountable or raising charges for abuse of office.

"I have never wanted to attack prosecutors or criticize them with SPAK for as long as they have been doing their job, but since I have dealt exclusively with the incinerators file, with voluminous materials with thousands and thousands of pages of material that have been submitted to SPAK, they were asked to seize them and we have made them available to them without any resistance, they even took some materials without publishing them, but we later published them. The point is that prosecutor Dritan Prençi makes a difference, look at the investigations and the speed with which Erion Veliaj was investigated by Ols Dado and Altin Dumani, look at the way prosecutor Vladimir Mara investigated several criminal files and look at Dritan Prençi today with a 2021 report, we are in 2025 and the point is that the prosecutor was able to take it easy to secure more evidence, but the damage that has been done to Tirana is very great.

In 2023, Dritan Prençi signed the arrest of Mirel Mërtiri and the structured criminal group of incinerators we had been writing about since 2020, the report was in 2021.

The damage ranges from 30-40 million euros. Is this prosecutor responsible, today we are in 2025, he has seized the Tirana Incinerator, he has not completed the investigations, he has before his eyes the documents and videos with sound and image and the signature of Erion Veliaj who is demanding the Tirana Incinerator himself and he does not have the manhood or courage to take him under charge for abuse of office.

While Erion Veliaj is in prison for other charges, on the other hand he bears responsibility because by keeping the incinerator sequestered, Tirana is on the verge of a catastrophe, in addition to the economic damage caused, in addition to not going to the end of the investigations, that is, not going to the head who directed Tirana , said the journalist./ CNA
