Scheme/Triangle revealed: Tirana Municipality - “Kuadr.com” -

CNA has launched another investigation that could lead to the discovery of a scandal in the Municipality of Tirana.

For about 6 months, CNA has been sending a series of letters to the capital's municipality requesting information on public spaces provided for use for events in Tirana's main squares for the years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, advertising contracts and revenues collected by the Municipality of Tirana.

For months, the Municipality of Tirana has been refusing to provide the data requested by CNA, misleading institutions that due to a cyberattack, most of the data is not recoverable.

So, the municipality has lost official documents, this is another crime.

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, as the contracts and payments made exist.

The municipality has every document in hard copy, of public spaces and advertising contracts for the years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.

The same sources emphasized that these materials were copied and are being investigated by SPAK.

CNA discovered the company "Kuadr.com"

CNA has gone further in its investigation to shed light on the abuses that have been committed with contracts awarded by the Municipality of Tirana to companies that organize various events in the main squares of the capital, which are suspected of using a larger area than specified in the contract by the Municipality of Tirana.

CNA discovered one of the companies that has taken over public spaces from the Municipality of Tirana. It is the company "Kuadr.com", a company that deals with major events in Albania.

According to data from the Central Bank, this company has an administrator and shareholder, Aleksandër Çifligu.

This company was established in 2017 and in 6 years has implemented 300 projects, a period during which Erion Veliaj was the mayor of Tirana.

CNA reveals where abuse occurs, giving an example.

Let's say that in "Skënderbej" Square, the Municipality of Tirana has given the company "Kuadr.com" a 5 square meter advertising area, this company has a contract with the Municipality of Tirana for such an area, but, in fact, the opposite happens in reality.

According to investigations conducted by CNA, the areas leased by the Municipality of Tirana in contracts are smaller than their actual areas. With the concealment of data and information by the Municipality of Tirana after CNA's requests, it is suspected that we are dealing with major abuses.

Furthermore, there are other details that show that there is a connection between a triangle connecting the Municipality of Tirana with the company that uses the surfaces and the advertising company.

The scheme is revealed, the Municipality of Tirana, "Kuadr.com" and Arbër Veliaj

The tentacles go beyond "Kuadr.com" and reach Mayor Erion Veliaj's brother, Arbër Veliaj, with his company "Gogel" that operates in the advertising field, which is under investigation by SPAK.

A company that grew rapidly, generating millions after Veliaj's arrival at the head of Tirana Municipality.

Within these areas that are used for the development of events, advertisements for Arbër Veliaj's company also appear.

So, "Kuadr.com" gets them from the Municipality of Tirana and the advertising surfaces show Arbër Veliaj's clients. It's just that the municipality collects much lower income than the surfaces where these advertisements are placed. 5 m2 are rented, while in fact the advertising surfaces are hundreds of square meters.

CNA has provided data that the company "Kuadr.com" has been directly contracting with advertising companies such as ONE, Vodafone or other companies.

Subsequently, these advertisements are passed through Arbër Veliaj and not directly through the company "Kuadr.com", so the brother of the mayor of Tirana, Arbër Veliaj, intervenes between the municipality and the company that rents the spaces.

While CNA has not been given data on the requests for 6 months, in the Municipality of Tirana, the oppression does not stop and officials seem to be hiding an affair.

What results from CNA's investigation is that most of the main squares in the capital have been taken under administration by the "Kuadr.com" company for various events.

"Kuadr.com" is closely linked to Arbër Veliaj, the brother of the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj.

"One hand washes the other, both wash the face". We have a scheme, where the Municipality of Tirana gives the contract to "Kuadr.com" by determining the minimum areas that it must use, "Kuadr.com" uses areas many times larger than written in the contract or pays as an obligation, as a result of which it pays less taxes to the municipality. Then these areas, several times larger than the contract with the Municipality of Tirana, are made available to Arbër Veliaj to advertise the clients he manages.

The scheme is clear, Erion Veliaj gives contracts for advertising, "Kuadr.com" takes larger areas than the contract specifies, Arbër Veliaj advertises for clients. From Erion to Arbër with "Kuadr.com" in the middle, creating a triangle where the main beneficiary is the mayor's brother and the management company.

The municipality's budget is losing tens of millions of lek from the income it should have obtained from the use of advertising spaces. No one from the tax office or the municipal police who are tasked with monitoring the implementation of contracts on the ground has seen anything. Dozens of officials involved in abuse of office and abuse of the taxes of the citizens of Tirana./ CNA
