"Ajola-H", tax evasion scheme or money laundering?

Mayor Erion Veliaj and Ajola Xoxa

Two days ago, when no one cared about Erion Veliaj's wife, the latter chose to share a news about the opening of an exhibition of an artist.

Apparently, in order to show that everything is in order and that the couple continues their activities as usual, Ajola with her publication encouraged us to investigate a little on the activity as an art curator of Mrs. Veliajt.

In the information extracted from the official website of the lady herself, she declares her employment in 3 art galleries, the "NAAN" art gallery, the "Harabel" art gallery and the "Gurgur" art gallery.

All three galleries have their headquarters at the same address as the law firm of Ajola Xoxa.

Why did Ajola need to create 3 galleries, when he could curate and promote art with just one?

You are also impressed that on the gallery pages, Ajola Xoxa appears as the founder of the galleries.

After the "5D" scheme, the "AjolaH" scheme also comes to light?

FACSIMILE/ Ajola Xoxa promoted the artist through the incinerator company, where is "Harabel" connected to "Integrated"?

So, on the one hand, Ajola is employed and on the other hand, she is the founder of the galleries where she is employed!

Until now, Ajola will justify it with self-employment at his own galleries.

But at least from the "Harabel" gallery, Mrs. Ajola receives a sum of 1,000 euros per month in the form of rent.

In other words, Ajola's "Sparrow" pays rent to Ajola!

How much and where does the income of the galleries of Ajola that pay rent to Ajola come from?

What other income does Ajola get from the galleries, where she is the founder, and is the form of leasing a way to avoid paying other taxes, which would have to be paid if the amounts were declared as wages?

The three galleries of Ajola are developing the activity in the conditions when the National Gallery remains closed and for this reason this public structure cannot carry out activities such as exhibiting or curating the artistic activity of visual art artists.

By chance?!

Practically in the city of Tirana, Ajola has indisputable power over all the procedures and funds made available by the central government (respectively the Ministry of Culture).

Art galleries have a role in selecting the artists to be promoted. We remind you that for the physical realization of the works, there are funds made available by the local and central government.

What was the influence of Ajola's "Sparrow" in the drafting and approval of the list of artists to be promoted?

How much are the funds allocated?

CNA.al sources confirm that there is talk of significant profits under the scheme:

Voted artist - "Harabel" of Ajola - selection committee - Ministry of Culture.

Who stole the artwork curated by Ajola Xoxa?

A short time ago, a "well-managed" appeal was made by the Ministry of Culture with the objective of disbursing funds that were ultimately "managed" by "Harabel" of Ajola.

And to think that the whole investigation took off because Ajola came out and spoke on "Facebook"!

That expression comes to mind: "When you're in m.. up to your throat, you better not open your mouth!"/ CNA
