CNA reveals other details that show how Mayor Erion Veliaj finances the NGOs of his wife Ajola Xoxa and her family members.

Today we are bringing you two NGOs, "MUZA" and "EVENTUS". Both of these NGOs were founded according to data from the SPAK investigative file by Ajola Xoxa's family members, her uncle Erald Simixhiu.

Let's take them one by one.

Details about the "MUZA" center.

The founder of the "MUZA" center is Erald Simixhiu, Ajola Xoxa's uncle, although there have been several changes in the management of this company.

The initial capital of the “MUZA” center was 10,000 lekë. The center is located on “Njazi Demi” street, “1 Maji” buildings, the same address as the “Eventus” center. This center deals with the promotion of art and culture.

The main contact address is on "Ibrahim Rugova" Street, Sky Tower, 10th floor.

According to the data, the "Muza" center has made a payment from the Municipality of Tirana in the amount of 1,620,248 lek, for a musical event "Baroques Meets Jazz", dated May 10, 2024, which was signed by Erion Veliaj.

Several invoices worth 20,000 were recorded in the time interval between March 12, 2024 and October 30, 2024.

In total, "Muza" has received 9 invoices of 20,000 lek, bringing the total to 180,000 lek.

“Partners Law” has issued an invoice, issued on May 17, 2024, for the amount of 120,420 lekë

- "PHOENIX +" LLC (K31505091L)

On May 10, 2024, “PHOENIX +” LLC issued an invoice to “Muza” for 60,000 lek.

- "KALEMI TRAVEL & TOURS" (L62303012A)

There is a single invoice on April 26, 2024, worth 37,811 lekë

- "Image & Communications Development" sh.pk (L01511027P)

"Muza" received an invoice for 6,000 lek on April 29, 2024.

- "AVA Studio" sh.pk (M122120120)

On May 10, 2024, the entity issued two invoices: 100,000 and 300,000.

On May 30, 2024, it sent two (negative) credit invoices that completely cancel the previous invoices: (300,000) and (100,000).

This brings the net total to 0, indicating that no active liability remains.

Based on the above, it is concluded that the "Muza" center, founded by citizen Erald Simixhiu, who is a relative of citizen Ajola Xoxa, but which is effectively controlled by the latter, has organized only one event throughout its entire activity.

The funds for this event were provided by the Municipality of Tirana and then distributed to citizen Linda Kazani (relative of citizen Ajola Xoxa) and to the commercial company "Arts Lab", legally owned by citizen Erald Simixhiu, but actually owned by citizen Ajola Xoxa.

Also, the invoices show that the "Muza" center has paid the company Partner Law, owned by citizen Ajola Xoxa, and payments have been made to citizen Adela Kondakçiu, who serves as an economist for companies and organizations related to citizen Ajola Xoxa.

It is also worth noting the fact that a tax invoice was initially issued for the entity "Ava Studio" (owned by citizen Valbona Xoxa), which was later canceled.

DATA for “Eventus”

From the administered acts, it appears that the family members of citizen Ajola Xoxa have created another non-profit center, where the founders are again citizens Emil Simixhiu, Erald Simixhiu, and Linda Kazani (respectively the son of the uncle, uncle, and wife of the uncle of citizen Ajola Xoxa), who have decided to establish a non-profit center named "Eventus".

The largest financier for the "Eventus" center is the Municipality of Tirana and Erion Veliaj, as well as the entity "Palushi" sh.pk, which Veliaj has awarded with several construction permits.

MUNICIPALITY OF TIRANA (Invoice from the seller) (ID: K11729002L): 10,580,000 lek

PALUSHI (Invoice from the seller) (ID: K12202004R): 3,237,300 lekë

AMERICAN INVESTMENT BANK JSC (Invoice from seller) (ID: J91725007P): 2,220,000 lek

MINISTRY OF CULTURE (Invoice from the seller) (ID: J91326001G): 900,000 lek

“E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS” (Invoice from the seller) (ID: L61720027D): 145,500 lek

Total: 17,082,800 lek

From the analysis of purchase declarations on the Central Portal for Control and Management (fiscalization), it results that the "Eventus" center has declared purchases totaling 10,212,909 lek.

As the data shows, it is concluded that the majority of the funds that this center has benefited from (mainly from the Municipality of Tirana) have been used to liquidate the services provided by the company "Ava Studio" sh.pk (owned by citizen Valbona Xoxa, but controlled by citizen Ajola Xoxa) and the company "Arts Lab" sh.pk (owned by citizen Erald Simixhiu, husband of the founder of this center, but de facto controlled by citizen Ajola Xoxa).

So, just like in the previous case, it turns out that Erion Veliaj signed and gave funds to NGOs founded by the family members of his wife Ajola Xoxa and his wife herself.

The Veliaj-Xoxa couple always make sure that the money that circulates goes back into their family circle and into their pockets.

These facts clearly show the corruption scheme used by the mayor, Erion Veliaj, who has provided funds to every NGO where his family members and his wife Ajola Xoxa appear./ CNA
