Apartment, garage, land and hotel/ How Regon Baze, the son of Mero Baze (Old Mere), became rich

Mero and Regon Base

CNA showed how Mero Baze obtained an apartment and garage through blackmail and fines against the builder.

In April 2015, Mero Baze published an article in which he attacked and accused Lulzim Basha, during the time when the latter was mayor, of building a palace in the capital.

CNA has obtained data, which shows that in the apartment built by the company "LID", which Mero Baze attacked in 2015, today Mero Baze and his son Regon Baze carry out business activities . In the "LID" building, which Mero Baze once attacked, allegedly in the name of his journalistic principles, it turns out that his son, Regon Baze, owns an apartment and a garage.

Meanwhile, following this data, CNA has also uncovered the scandal.

The properties purchased by Mero Baze for his son were made at the height of the Covid 19 pandemic in April 2020.

At a time when the world was in collapse and Albania was closed by the pandemic, Mero Baze was buying property.

 Then, in May of that same year, Mero Baze established the editorial office of the newspaper "Tema" on the purchased property, in the building built by the company "LID", which he had once attacked.

Today we will bring more facts about the stinking journalist Mero Baze and his son Regon Baze.

After the discovery of the hotel and land purchased at a ridiculous price in one of the pearls of tourism in Albania, in Ksamil, after the discovery of a 10-story building on the shores of the Ionian Sea (a denunciation made by the General Secretary of the Democratic Party Flamur Noka), today we will bring how through blackmail and extortion, Mero Baze and his son have benefited from an apartment and a garage.

FINES ON BUSINESS

In April 2015, Mero Baze published an article in which he attacked and accused Lulzim Basha, during the time when the latter was mayor, of building a palace in the capital.

The article read: "Basha obtained a building permit for an illegal building on the block before leaving."

Mero has apparently applied his strategy, attack businesses, hit, blackmail, and then seize the property.

CNA has obtained data, which shows that in the apartment built by the company "LID", which Mero Baze attacked in 2015, today Mero Baze and his son Regon Baze carry out business activities.

In the "LID" building, which Mero Baze once attacked, supposedly in the name of his journalistic principles, it turns out that his son, Regon Baze, owns an apartment and a garage.

The apartment property in the name of Regon Baze, with an area of ??about 100 square meters, turns out to have been purchased with an initial value of about 100 thousand euros. While the garage, with an area of ??25 square meters, turns out to have a value of 15 thousand euros.

The scheme is clear, Mero Baze attacks the business, the builder and then buys an apartment in the son's name for 1000 euros per square meter. While in that area the value of a property is 2 to 3 times more.

The apartment owned by Mero Baze's son, along with the garage, is estimated at between 300 and 400 thousand euros.

In April 2020, after attacking the business, he bought the apartment and garage for "a piece of bread", which turned out to be owned by his brother-in-law Regon Baze.

All the information provided raises suspicions that we are dealing with extortion. A business is attacked, denounced, and its construction permit is requested to be blocked. It is precisely in this building that Regon Baze and his father Mero Baze go and take shelter.

CNA further deepens the investigation into Mero Bazen and his family members, showing how they have obtained wealth and employment in public institutions.

Throughout the week, CNA showed with documents how Mero Baze's son, Erion Veliaj's cucumber, was blessed by the latter and the government.

We published a document showing how Lindita Nikolla, at the time she was in office as Minister of Education, had blessed Aldion Bazen with around 50 thousand pounds from the Excellence Fund to complete a master's degree at one of the universities in London.

Of course, the price for these "blessings" would be paid by his father, Mero Baze, who is known as a power-grabber and a tool and servant of Erion Veliaj.

We also discovered that Aldion Baze, in addition to the tens of thousands of pounds he had received from the government, was also employed by the Municipality of Tirana as a director.

Today we will bring more facts, but this time about Mero Baze's other son, Regon Baze.

According to data provided by CNA, it turns out that a plot of land with an area of ??10,600 square meters in Ksamil has been registered in the name of Regon Baze and his companies.

Data shows that this land was purchased for a ridiculous price of 2.8 million new lek, at 271 lek per square meter.

So, for only 28 million old lekë, a plot of land measuring over 10,000 square meters was purchased, registered in the name of Mero Baze's son, Regon Baze, where a hotel would later be built in Ksamil, in one of the most expensive areas.

This is a ridiculous price as it is not even a reference for the area, let alone the market price for the Ksamil area.

At a ridiculous price, a plot of land measuring over 10,000 square meters is purchased, in one of the pearls of Albanian tourism, registered in the name of Regon Baze, the son of Mero Baze, and then a hotel is built.

This raises suspicions that through Mero Baze's strategy of attack and blackmail, or his flattery and services to the government, the stinking journalist has managed to enrich not only himself, but also his family members.

Mero Baze is a journalist who stinks, according to Indro Montanelli's famous saying, because he is a man with staggering wealth established during the SP's rule, which he served for 20 years just as he served Sali Berisha, but which then went bankrupt because he did not give him the morsels of his power.
