CNA has uncovered another scandalous case that is reflected in the file declassified by the GJKKO and Judge Erion Bani, which shows that Ajola Xoxa received a full 18 thousand dollars from the American Embassy for projects that would be implemented in the period January-July 2022. ( READ HERE )

But what happened?

In the communications of two associates of Ajola Xoxa, financier Adela Kondakçiu and former BYLA director Ina Goxhaj, it appears that fictitious invoices were issued for these projects and, as noted in the GJKKO decision, at least until May, none of the activities for which the US embassy financed were carried out.

On page 350, Adela Kondakçiu for the first time expresses concern about the implementation of the project funded by the American Embassy.

COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ADELA KONDAKÇIU AND INA GOXHAJT

The following communication on the same page indicates that at least until 30.05.2022, no activity has been carried out, considering that the time frame of the activity belongs to the period January-July 2022.

Adela Kondakçiu says: But I have a concern about the realization of the project because the embassy will want some photos, right?

This communication clearly shows that at least to this date, nothing has been done from the project funded by the Embassy in question.

This becomes even clearer in the communications that follow.

Adela Kondakçiu on page 351 says: "If they did anything they wanted, we wouldn't be in trouble."

So, it turns out that they have nothing, at least until the end of May 2022.

Ina Goxhaj says: "That's why I love Ejon. To provide me with the photos. Page 352.

Adela Kondakçiu continues: "They'll leave us alone and we'll be miserable. They'll leave us exposed later, we don't trust them."

So, the executive director of the organization wants to meet with another person in order to provide the necessary photos that prove the development of the project funded by the American Embassy in Tirana.

Adela continues: I will try to meet Ilda a little, I will write to her one of these days when she will be in the office. Page 354.

Ina Goxhaj replies: Because I'm worried that in the end Ejona will say, fill out the check and they'll take the money and we'll be left with nothing.

These communications clearly show where the funds of the American Embassy in Tirana end up, as the decision emphasizes that none of the activities for which the US paid were carried out and that fictitious invoices were issued and distributed.

Even after all these facts, the American embassy has not reacted to such a scandal, even though it has paid a full 18 thousand dollars to Ajola Xoxa's NGO./ CNA
