In a statement, the Democratic Party has made public some documents showing how the family members of Prime Minister Edi Rama benefited from tenders and public money without identifying the owners.

The Anti-Corruption Spokesperson, Genta Vangjeli, in a statement to the media, clarified that there are two ways that Rea Xhillari, the Prime Minister's stepdaughter, participates and implements public tenders, without appearing to be a direct owner, but connected to entities and as a collaborator, benefiting from monetary values. from them.

Below you can find the full speech of Vangjeli, which shows all the projects in which Xhillari was involved, as well as the relevant documents.

Word of mouth:

Edi Rama promised yesterday, in the long monologue with journalists, that his family members do not benefit from public contracts.

This is completely untrue, as the documents extracted from public databases, which we are making available to the media, will prove.
At the beginning, we want to clarify that there are two ways in which Rea Xhillari, the Prime Minister's stepdaughter, participates and implements public tenders, without pretending to be a direct owner, but connected to subjects and as a collaborator, benefiting from monetary values ??from them.

First, through the commercial entity 51N4E, a Belgian company with branches in Albania as well, as you can see in the attached extract, received by the KKB, where it turns out that Rea Xhillari was part of the cooperating staff. This Belgian company, contacted since 2004 by Edi Rama, when he was mayor, he designed several towers in Tirana and Rama gave him the permits.

Secondly, through the company "I RI shpk" with initial owners GA with 50% of the shares, and the Belgian company 51N4E with 50% of the shares. So, in both cases, Ms. Xhillari is connected to the tenders through 51N4E, sometimes as a part of the company "I Ri shpk" and sometimes only through 51N4E, without being part of "I Ri shpk".
We want to emphasize to the public an important element, which shows a lot about the implication of the prime minister's family members in schemes to benefit from public funds.
After the successive denunciations that were made by the chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, and other representatives of the opposition, on April 28, 2023 (registered at the KKB on May 24, 2023), changes have taken place with the ownership of "I RI SHPK". Thus, the company associated with Rea Xhillari has left, and the other partner of the company, GA, has become the owner of 100% of the shares.
We clarify that Rea Xhillari and GA are both persons involved in the Belgian company 51N4E.
Through "I RI shpk" 33 public payments for public contracts in the total value of 1.9 BILLION LEK have been obtained.

And with the other company 51N4E, registered in KKB as a branch company of the foreign one, public contracts have been awarded for the period 2014 - 2023 from the Municipality of Tirana, ADF, and the National Agency of Territorial Planning, 1 billion lek.
So, a total of 2.9 billion ALL of public funds have been benefited by the two companies partially connected to Rea Xhillari (I RI shpk and 514NE).

Note that the "explosion" of Mrs. Xhillari and the public funds that go in large sums to the companies connected with her happens, quite "by chance" after the arrival of Edi Rama in power.
The tenders for the subsidiary continue even though from time to time there are some 'tactical' withdrawals like what we noted above. In the APP bulletin, dated October 30, 2023, i.e. three weeks ago, the announcement of the winner for the procurement procedure, not open, was published but BY NEGOTIATION WITHOUT PUBLICATION, between ADF and 51N4E for the object: "Master plan of the sports complex of the stadium "Niko Dovana" and the development of the surrounding multifunctional area", with a value offered of 360.8 million ALL. The Municipality of Tirana, as the main institution that awards tenders to Rea, in addition to the above, in July 2020 launched the second phase of the international competition for the construction project of the new building of the Municipality of Tirana (to be built on the New Boulevard. In
place the first of the 10 design studios that were selected is the project of the Belgian studio of Xaveer De Geyter XDGA and the Albanian one "I RI" and the latter subject related to the family of KM as we explained above.

Other projects for which the 2 entities related to Xhillar have been contracted are:

Skanderbeg Square 2017

TID 2016 tower

National Museum

Flag Square

Lungomare

Eco Park Durrës

They are also winners of competitions for the construction of private towers, where the de facto chairman of the jury is the stepfather of the country, Edi Rama.

Indeed, this honorable design studio is incomparable to any of its sisters, or perhaps the influence of KM and the cooperation with Xhillar make it so successful and give it such access to Albania.
Will it or not, Mr. Rama, these are the facts.

His family members are favored hands and feet in public funds and any denial is a rejection of stubborn facts.
Edi Rama is in an open conflict of interest and the law has a clear stance on such cases.

Edi Rama should have left the mandate, Edi Rama should leave the mandate. / CNA
