Veliaj repeats the scheme/ Attacks on justice continue

Since his arrest, 15 months ago, on February 10, 2025, the mayor of Tirana, arrested on 13 charges for 5 serious criminal offenses, has ordered and directed a media attack campaign against the judiciary and prosecutors.

During this time, CNA has identified articles in international media such as "The Economist", "Jerusalem Post", "EU Reporter", European Business Magazine", "Europrospects", written by third parties that raise suspicions of paid or anonymous articles that have in common the Veliaj case and the attack on justice.

Publications of such articles, which cast a pall over detention in Albania and are specifically directed at Veliaj, are repeated in Albania, but also beyond its borders, whenever Veliaj has an important court hearing.

Recently, "Brussels Morning" published an article by Martin Banks that contains a defensive narrative against Veliaj, this time focusing on the trial in the Administrative Court.

The fact that it is written by the same journalist, Martin Banks, who previously published another article in defense of Veliaj, to whom CNA also addressed an official e-mail, but did not receive a response, shows that we are dealing with the same scenario, where before court hearings, the machinery of attacks on the judiciary, the prosecutor and the judge is put into operation.

CNA has addressed "BrusselsMoring" with an official e-mail regarding the article published on their "website".

The other fact that shows that we are dealing with another media attack on justice is that this article was published in Erion Veliaj's servant media and paid for with the money of the incinerators or the money of the brother of the arrested mayor of Tirana.

The scheme is clear and what is hidden behind this article is clear. We are dealing with another attack on the prosecutor and the judiciary.

The lobbying and attack campaign against the judiciary, SPAK and the prosecutor in the Ols Dado case continues beyond borders.

The schemes and scenarios in this case are the same as the reports of lobbying law firms paid $220,000 filled with lies and deception that then end up in Congress and the Senate.

These are contrivances that, as CNA has previously reported, Erion Veliaj makes to escape prison.

The fact is that for 10 months, Erion Veliaj, like a coward, has not gone to court to face the evidence that prosecutors have laid out on tens of thousands of pages, but continues with the attacks directed from Durrës prison, which have also emerged in the wiretaps published by CNA.

Erion Veliaj has been put behind bars after being arrested by prosecutors on charges of corruption, abuse of office, laundering of proceeds of crime, concealment of assets, and bringing prohibited items into the cell./ CNA
