The official accuses Ahmetaj in SPAK/ Document that raises doubts

2023-07-11 12:54:00, Aktualitet CNA

SPAK, in the materials it has published regarding the investigations for the incinerators, there are facts and documents, which are claimed to send the former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj to prison.

The whole history of incinerators starts with Elbasan, goes to Fier and then to Tirana. Klodian Zoto, Stela Gugallja, Mirel Mërtiri have been mentioned dozens of times. Arben Ahmetaj has been accused as a person related to them.

On the other hand, in the parliamentary investigative commission two years ago, Ahmetaj publicly declared that he knew Mirel Mërtir like many other businessmen, but he had not benefited from anything.

According to him, the corrupt relationship is between two parties, when someone gives you something and you give them something, while Ahmetaj has claimed that he never signed and had nothing to do with the procedures of the incinerators and the benefits that Zoto and Mërtiri had from the contracts with the Albanian state.

However, information has been leaked from SPAK and a document has been published about an official, who is complaining in the media that she was pressured by Arben Ahmetaj.

In fact, no one should think that we are protecting Arben Ahmetaj. For any responsibility he has, he must answer before the law, and here we must show that half-truths are untruths.

So, are we dealing with a directed justice, or a justice with concrete facts and evidence?

According to SPAK documents, it is said that citizen Sidita Kopliku was called by Arben Ahmetaj at the time when he was minister regarding the Durrës landfill. Here you are impressed by the lady's statement, because there is no landfill in Durrës. There is no procedure for landfill in Durrës, no incinerator has been built in Durrës, no landfill has been built in Durrës, never.

The waste of Durrës is taken to Tirana after the trash scandal, and then we remember that it was "Top Channel" television that made the biggest noise.

On the other hand, in case the Durrës landfill is confused with the waste in Porto Romano, there is another procedure, done in 2019, where there was a tender, which was then canceled, there were several companies in the competition, it won "Victoria Invest" was not announced as the winner, but the company "Damare SRL" that is connected to the incinerator of Tirana was also included there, it was rumored and accused of connection with Lulzim Basha, but the procedure was canceled for the treatment of waste in Porto Romano .

What happened?

The procedure was canceled and in December, at the end of 2019, after the earthquake, with the funds allocated by the Albanian government, the treatment of the waste area in Porto Romano and its return to a tourist destination was awarded by direct procurement, which has been published often by Prime Minister Edi Rama as an innovation in the way an area polluted by waste and garbage was treated, which were all removed and brought to the Tirana incinerator.

The lady's statement has many question marks. How is it possible for someone to exert pressure when there is no landfill at all, while on the other hand the waste of Porto Romano has been removed by direct procurement and there is something wrong with these statements.

Also, there is talk of an official who asked him to speed up the procedure for the Tirana incinerator, and the request was made by a director. But every director, every director, takes this step, rushes the procedures according to the orders they received.

Now the question arises very simply, are these statements true and reliable, or are they only checkers and half-truths, on which justice is sought?

Neither information nor justice is done on half-truths without facts and evidence. Arben Ahmetaj, for the facts and evidence that SPAK has, the connections he proves with Mirel Mërtir, Klodian Zoto, the accusations, and others like these, he must be held responsible before the law like any other citizen, but it is absolutely impossible for individuals to imprisoned by false statements when the facts do not exist.

Klodian Zoto

The fact is that there is no landfill in Durrës and there has never been a landfill procedure. All journalists who have dealt with the incinerators issue know this, just like the Sharra landfill issue. The removal of waste from Porto Romanoja is another very important detail that was done with direct procurement in 2019. There were also accusations between the opposition and the government at that time, Lulzim Basha was accused.

So, these two things show that SPAK has deviations in the object or someone has lied to this institution, at least for these details, the others are facts and evidence that can and should be judged by the court itself, by lawyers and by the parties to the process. But in this case, in this statement, we are dealing with a total deviation, both in the statements and in the procedure that SPAK uses as evidence./ CNA.al
