Dritan Prençi as SPAK hostage-taker

2025-08-17 09:22:00, Editorial CNA

One of the most important files and one of the touchstones of SPAK is the incinerator file, which began in Elbasan with an incinerator with an investment of 24 million euros from the Albanian government, which is not working, is out of order. Another in Fier with about 35 million euros, which is not working, and the Tirana landfill, where an incinerator was to be built, has not been completed . The Albanian state paid about 60 million euros, more than that was paid by private business, about 70 million euros, through the land deal signed by the directors of Erion Veliaj, so about 130 million euros, the Tirana incinerator .

This affair with the three incinerators, which are not working, have not been completed and will not exist, is the biggest issue that someone thinks will be closed, that it has been investigated a lot, that it has been closed with Lefter Koka, with Alqi Blako. With a minister who had no funds and budget and a general secretary.

In fact, the opposition often accuses SPAK and says that SPAK did not take Erion Veliaj as a defendant in the incinerator case, that SPAK did not investigate Erion Veliaj in the incinerator case . In fact, SPAK is not a notion in the air, it is not an ether. SPAK is an institution composed of 20 prosecutors who are independent and the person responsible for not completing the investigations by SPAK into the Tirana incinerator or not taking Erion Veliaj as a defendant is Dritan Prençi, one of the many SPAK prosecutors.

It is not the responsibility of the entire institution, there could be 15 incompetent prosecutors and 5 competent ones, the ratio could be different. But in this specific case there is a name and that is Dritan Prençi, the person who took SPAK hostage through the incinerator affair.

It is enough to see what the LSI said yesterday, it does not take SPAK as a defendant and Altin Dumani is to blame. It is enough to see what Mero Baze says day after day, SPAK is violent, SPAK has behaved badly with Erion Veliaj, SPAK has behaved badly with Ilir Meta, SPAK has done this, it has done that. In fact, SPAK did not arrest Ilir Meta at all, the police arrested him and left the bill to SPAK.

Erion Veliaj was not investigated by SPAK, but by two prosecutors, Altin Dumani and Ols Dado, so the prosecutors' responsibility is according to the law, it is well-defined .

In this specific case, we have a prosecutor like Dritan Prençi, who has taken SPAK hostage and left it every bill for the incinerator issue . The public articulation that is being made, the way it is being used, by analysts paid by Veliaj, by his brother, by the opposition, to target the institution, all together. But there is no collective responsibility. In the case of SPAK, the responsibility is individual.

Let us remember the case of prosecutor Edvin Kondili in connection with the "Ilir Beqaj" case. The head of the institution, as his duty dictates, maintained his position and that's it . We cannot expect Altin Dumani to do everything. The head of SPAK, Altin Dumani, will no longer be there tomorrow, what will happen to the others? The time of Arben Krajë will return, the stories with an institution that does not investigate, that does not complete investigations, that makes them disappear, and Dritan Prençat will be added to us.

What needs to be appealed today and a stance taken is that the institutions that control SPAK, before accusing the prosecutors who do the work, should go and verify what Dritan Prençi has done in almost 5 years of investigations into the Tirana incinerator. What Dritan Prençi has done for dozens and dozens of documents that are a direct accusation against Erion Veliaj. What Dritan Prençi has done when his colleagues Dumani and Dado found the "MEG Albania" files on Ajola Xoxa's computer.

Why hasn't Dritan Prençi called him at least for this file that we recently learned about, when Veliaj's accusation was brought to court. Why doesn't Dritan Prençi call Klotilda Bushka, Ajola Xoxa, Erion Veliaj for "MEG Albania", for the Tirana incinerator?! Because Dritan Prençi seems to have taken SPAK hostage and wants to hide behind the name of the institution, leaving every bill of failure, lack of investigation, or attack that is made publicly and mediatically to the institution.

In fact, any stance towards SPAK should not be taken in groups, but with the names of individual prosecutors, who do not have ears to hear and eyes to see , or do not know how to read, or do not know how to listen?! In all of the latter, there is only one answer for them: They are parties to the affairs and scandals and seek to cover them up, finding ways for the responsible institutions to go and confront them with the facts and bring to justice every prosecutor of the Dritan Prençi format, or any other, who instead implements the law and does his duty, summons the persons in charge, collects documentation and evidence, if there is an accusation, files an accusation, if there is none, that means he is innocent.

But not like the case of Dritan Prençi, who has the documents in front of his eyes, which all Albanians know, the documents are signed by Erion Veliaj, by Erion Veliaj's directors, they were found on Ajola Xoxa's computer and Dritan Prençi does nothing , he simply and only takes hostages and hides behind SPAK./ CNA
