The arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, with 13 charges for 5 offenses, is known as a chronic fraudster.
CNA has often listed Veliaj's frauds and made them public, starting with the fraud and the fabricated story of the kidnapping of Griselda of Kavaja, where Veliaj publicly denounced the case, even sending a letter to ambassadors regarding the event, which turned out to be a fabricated event since there was no kidnapping or pregnancy.
Continuing with the public deception that has been going on for 336 days regarding prosecutor Ols Dado, who according to the mayor has launched investigations for personal revenge after not accepting a request for an extension on the construction permit, a document that Veliaj and his family journalist Mero Baze have not published for 336 days, deceiving the public about the prosecutor and not substantiate the accusations against him.
It continues with the wiretaps from Durrës prison, which CNA has published, showing how he directed the media to develop a campaign of attacks through the media, the deception that the prosecutor, an active member of the DP, put in prison, etc., and others that CNA has listed through several articles.
For 6 months now, CNA has been sending several letters to the Municipality of Tirana and the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data, requesting transparency on how many advertisements, banners, and LED-walls have been placed at various events, in "Skënderbej" Square, in "Mother Teresa" Square, but also in other places where various activities have been held in the capital.
With official requests, referring to the Constitution and the law, we requested the areas used for advertising, the contracts that the Municipality of Tirana has made with the company that will manage the activity.
In addition to contracts or surfaces, we requested information on the data and revenues generated, that is, the income that the Municipality of Tirana benefited from, the income that the citizens of Tirana benefited from the development of these activities, because the municipality was both a sponsor and a beneficiary.
Another fraud is being committed by officials who are hiding data on the requests that CNA has been sending to the Municipality of Tirana for months.
Tirana Municipality officials are committing a criminal act and have deceived an institution such as the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data Protection.
Official sources from the Municipality of Tirana told CNA that the files and information that CNA is requesting are located at the Municipality of Tirana.
They have every piece of data in hard copies, of public spaces and advertising contracts for the years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.
The same sources emphasized that these materials have been received and are being investigated by SPAK. CNA has had continuous requests to the Municipality of Tirana.
The case ended up with the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data Protection, where the Municipality of Tirana claimed that after a cyber attack, some of the systems and services were interrupted and this led to the compromise of a significant number of end-user computer devices, where as a result, the local data stored on the affected devices, which were not available in central systems, in backup copies or on other institutional platforms, were not technically recoverable after replacing the storage media and cannot be restored.
In fact, this is nothing more than a huge public fraud like the frauds of their president, who is behind bars in Durres prison on 13 charges for 5 serious criminal offenses.
We have again requested official information from the Municipality of Tirana and after completing all legal avenues up to the level of the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Personal Data Protection, CNA will go to court and file a criminal complaint with SPAK for abuse of office and suspected corruption, concealment of data, done by several officials including the acting Mayor Anuela Ristan, the Secretary General and the entire chain that conceals data regarding the requests made by CNA.
It is no longer possible for an institution shrouded in scandals, affairs, and corruption, with the mayor arrested on 13 serious criminal charges, with directors in prison, and officials under investigation, to mock the media and hide the truth.
The citizens of Tirana, the taxpayers, need to know who has benefited from the mismanagement of this institution or who has found room to abuse and line their pockets through schemes recommended by the leaders of this municipality./ CNA
