"Come on, fill a can," the couple who was advertising blended olive

Edison and Vojsava Beshiri are from Dimal, Berat. According to information, the couple have been living in Shkodra for two years, where they sell olive oil. They advertise the oil as extra virgin, but the accusers say that the oil is a mixture. In fact, when the show "Stop" on Tv Klan broadcast a case of fraud with olive oil in Kuçovë, Edison hid the mixing equipment by moving this process to his parents' house in Dimal.

In Shkodra they sell in an unregistered environment near the Russian market. They don't even have a certificate for extra virgin olive oil. "Stop" tried to buy the oil and the Beshiri couple offered assurances about the quality of the product.

Stop : How are you?

Vojsava Beshiri : Hello! How are you?

Stop : How much do you have?

Vojsava Beshiri : Are you the one we spoke to on the phone?

Stop : E! How much do you weigh?

Vojsava Beshiri : Eight thousand lek.

Edison Beshiri : How many liters? You have 12, 30, 10, 8, 5 cans.

Stop : I bought a 30 liter bin, how much do you leave me?

Edison Beshiri : Out of 246, I'll leave it at 230.

Stop : How much does it cost per liter?

Edison Beshiri : 750! You have a big bottle?

Stop : Is this the virgin? Do you have 2l? Can I have two pieces?

Edison Beshiri : Take two pieces of these, then take them whenever you want!

Stop : Put it in a bag for me! Let my chef try it once and if I want you, I'll come get more. I'll call you.

The oil was then sent for analysis and it turned out that it was neither extra virgin nor virgin oil, but may contain other vegetable oils or olive pomace. This is explained by Hajri Ismailaj, an olive expert.

Hajri Ismailaj, olive expert : I don't smell this one.

Stop : What smell?

Hajri Ismailaj, olive expert: The typical smell of the fruit, of the olive. Extra virgin oil must maintain the color and typical aroma of olive oil. The analysis of color, taste and aroma are commercial analyses, you don't need to go to the laboratory.

The expert explains that the oil is classified according to the values ??they present and has a special categorization. The expert also evaluated the results of the analysis and confirmed that there are impurities.

"Stop" returned once again to buy oil again.

Stop : I want 30 liters of extra virgin, like I got last time! How much does it cost? But one thing, you won't change the quality for me. I'll take it, because you told me, I have extra virgin.

Edison Beshiri : Look, the can costs 246 thousand lek, I'll leave you 230. Can I bring it there now?

Stop : Now, I'll get you the driver. Where's your can?

Edison Beshiri : Let the bride come and fill it!

Stop : Where do I fill it? Here?

Edison Beshir : Here, I have a small warehouse. Sava, come fill a 30 gallon can!

Stop : Do you have work?

Edison Beshiri : I have! We work. Look, you were working cleanly, you have work.

Stop : Is your warehouse big or small?

Edison Beshiri : Small. I take 1 ton, finish it, go again.

(The agent calls the seller and his wife comes out).

Stop : How could you leave me alone? You're not serious at all, I don't understand!
