CNA continues to uncover wiretapping/ From televisions in the service of Veliaj to the order to pressure KLP

CNA will bring another wiretap from the Durrës prison cell where the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, is imprisoned.

This voluminous dossier reveals how the media, journalists, were put at the service of Veliaj to attack prosecutors and judges after the arrest of Mayor Veliaj.

But in addition to the media, television, and journalists, even well-known screen characters have been put at Veliaj's service .

Today we will bring another communication, where it seems that citizen Ardit, suspected to be Ardit Gjebrea, intervenes in the conversation between Ajola and Veliaj.

In the conversation that took place at 9:29 PM , while Ajola was talking to Veliaj, Arditi intervened.

From the context of the conversation, Arditi asks Erion to send messages without insults, without offenses, because when there is swearing or blackmail, it is called a threat.

He tells him that this can be used against him, as they will say: he is inside and threatening, imagine if he gets out .

Arditi says that friends from the DP, who had previously written against him (Erion), also told him this.

" At 21:29, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, but at a certain moment the conversation takes place between Arditi and Erion. From the context of the conversation, Arditi asks Erion to give messages without insults, without offenses, because at the moment there is swearing or blackmail, it is called a threat.

He tells him that this could be used against him, as they will say that he is inside and threatening, imagine if he gets out.

Arditi says that friends from the DP, who had previously written against him (Erion), also told him this. Arditi, in the continuation of the conversation, says that he told his 'friend' to show him 'lali' so that he would think he was on 'Big Brother '," the intercepts obtained by CNA state.

Arditi even asks him to be careful and that he will send a message to the EDITOR .

" Erion Veliaj responds that he should also tell the editor, telling him that it is being perceived as if you want to harm Erion. Arditi says that he should be careful, as he is thinking of sending a message to the editor, but according to Arbri i Madh, he should be careful as he says that he is the only one they can rely on.

During the communication, Arditi says he is sending him a message, while Erioni suggests that he meet him. He tells him that if he is busy with a meeting, he should tell him that he is writing two thoughts because it seems to me that he is going a bit too far with his language, since Erioni tells him that they are edited by the editor , "the intercepts obtained by CNA state.

We recall that after Veliaj's arrest, Gjebrea was one of the characters who reacted in support of Veliaj.

CNA even published documents showing how Gjebrea was blessed with funds by Veliaj./ CNA

The mayor arrested for corruption and laundering of proceeds of crime, Erion Veliaj, has engaged a number of television stations to attack prosecutors and judges of the Criminal Court of Kosovo.

He has waged a media campaign from prison demanding that his news be broadcast, as well as attacks on prosecutors and judges.

Wiretaps conducted in Durrës prison confirm this. In these materials obtained by CNA, it is shown how Veliaj requested that his interviews with questions and answers drafted by him be broadcast on television screens such as "Top Channel", "Report TV" or "Euronews".

“TOP CHANNEL”

Veliaj composes his own questions and answers for Grida Duma's show. He even asks that they not mock him for being in prison and to take that into account before making fun of him in the studio.

"At 18:36, Erion Veliaj talks to his brother, Arbri, where they discuss the question-and-answer section. According to the communication, something happened and they didn't make it in time to do it. Likewise, Arbri tells him that they will appear at Grida's tonight for dinner where they will be with a question-and-answer session. Arbri asks Erion to do more questions-and-answers so that they won't be late tomorrow. According to the conversation, before the publication of the 'question-and-answer' Arbri receives another confirmation from someone who is not mentioned in the conversation. At 18:52, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, whom he asks to talk to Albin and the latter to talk to Visi and Lori, after he has given some answers to Grida about the show that will be aired today, and asks them not to make fun of him since he is in prison and to take that into account before making fun of him in the studio. Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him what happened with 'Top Channel' that the article about him was not published. Arbri tells him that it was negligence. Erion Veliaj tells him: "The message is being left once and for all and it is not being violated," according to the intercepts obtained by CNA.

“REPORT TV”

The same scheme was used for the interview on "Report TV", which he even called a super interview and requested that this interview be distributed to both the "Dita" and "Tema" newspapers.

At 16:21, Erion Veliaj talks to his brother Arbri, whom he asks to ask Karlo if he has received his answers for the show that will take place tonight at dinner. At 16:22, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, and the latter tells him that she spoke and said that they are getting the AI ​​(artificial intelligence) ready. They have received the answers and 77 are getting it ready. Likewise, Ajola tells him that she asked him if he wanted to give an interview, but he said no. Erion asks him the same thing, to stay as far away as possible (meaning the interview). At 18:05, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola and asks him to talk to Albin from "Dita", because Geri Kokalari has done a super interview on "Report TV", and asks him to give priority to his interview. Erion tells him that his interview will be published by two or three newspapers, perhaps even "Tema". He asks him to talk to Mero and Albin about this. At 18:07, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri, where the latter tells him that "our friends" have told him to do the interview (conference) with all journalists, and for questions that they do not want to answer, it means that they cannot talk at this moment. Then, Erion Veliaj tells Arbri about Geri Kokalari's interview on "Report TV" and asks him to connect it with "Tema" and "Dita" (newspapers), so that they pay attention to it, since "Shqiptarja" will definitely do it. At 19:55, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him to make sure that Geri Kokalari's interview is distributed today to the newspapers "Dita", "Tema" and "Shqiptarja", and of course to the newspapers tomorrow as well. Likewise, he tells him that it is good that the Americans (American lawyers) are also informed about what is happening systematically. This, says Erion, should be a daily task. At 20:17, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him if the Americans (lawyers) will arrive on the 11th (the date of the Appeals hearing). Arbri tells him that he is trying to contact them and that they will most likely be in Albania. Erion Veliaj also asks them to do an interview with "Top". Meanwhile, Arbri also informs him about the lawyers' conference, which has been scheduled for the next day at 14:00, "off camera" "on record", so that the journalists can produce the news themselves. Arbri tells him that the meeting will be called "an informational meeting with the Veliaj family lawyers". In the conversation, Erion Veliaj asks him to "keep the pressure on that Tuesday is unchangeable, so we have four days, 'three days to freedom'". He asks Arbri to "tell them to get out of here with a dog and a cat who is following things". At 20:30, Erion Veliaj talks to his wife, Ajola, whom he asks to "Tell them to spread the word as much as possible and keep the pressure on that these four days are crucial" "That is, either leave these four days, or stay here for another four months. Then the Supreme Court. After the Elections." "That is why it is 'vital'."These four days are crucial."

"EURONEWS"

The same scheme was consequently used at "Euronews".

"At 18:53, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, to whom he tells her that at 19:00 he will appear in an interview on "Euronews", and that is why he often calls her at these times, since in the Penitentiary Institution they close the phones, turn them off and do not let them communicate. Erion tells her that this has also happened when he gave the interview to "Report TV" or "Top""/ CNA

Mayor Erion Veliaj orders that pressure be exerted on justice institutions from his prison cell in Durrës.

In this case, against the High Prosecutorial Council. This is confirmed by the wiretaps obtained by CNA, which clearly show that Veliaj calls the KLP's reaction abnormal.

As shown in the materials provided by CNA, Veliaj considers the KLP's reaction unacceptable, as they were elected with a majority in parliament.

For this, according to wiretaps, he engages his brother Arbër Veliaj to talk to his "deputy friends" to deal with this matter.

"The intensification of the media campaign as the date of the security measure trial at the Court of Appeal approaches in order to put pressure on justice officials. Likewise, another moment to highlight is the conversation about the KLP in relation to the statement in defense of the actions of the Special Prosecutor's Office.

For the citizen under investigation, Erion Veliaj, this is unacceptable and abnormal, as long as they were voted into Parliament by the government majority.

For this reason, he asks citizen Arbër Veliaj to talk to 'friends MPs who deal with this matter,'" the intercepts obtained by CNA state.

It is also noted that Veliaj has published a request addressed to the High Prosecutorial Council to ascertain the end of the mandate of prosecutor Ols Dado and that his approach to institutions creates premises for him to intervene in them and use them to further his goals.

In the intercepts obtained by CNA, Veliaj asks his brother, Arbër Veliaj, to engage the KLP deputies to deal with this matter because he does not know for what reason the KLP is making statements in defense of the prosecutors.

"At 19:54, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri regarding the statements made public by the KLP. Erion tells Arbri that he is very surprised by the KLP's statement, since they have not even reacted to Saliu's case. He tells him that most of them were not put in place by Saliu, 'by the way'. He asks Arbri to talk to 'friends MPs', those MPs who deal with this work, since the KLP was voted into Parliament by the majority of the government, their statement is abnormal.

"He tells him again that the KLP's statement is abnormal, I don't know for what reason they made it, at a time when they didn't speak out about Saliu. At the end of the communication, he tells him to come early to the meeting, to give him the ballot, implying the next status," the materials obtained by CNA state.

We recall that earlier the High Prosecutorial Council broke its silence after CNA's interest in a reaction to the continuous attacks by Prime Minister Edi Rama and Mayor Erion Veliaj against Prosecutor Ols Dado and Judge Erion Bani.

The KLP condemned the attacks and pressure against SPAK prosecutors and in particular against prosecutor Ols Dado.

The KLP calls for any claim, accusation or complaint against a prosecutor to be handled in accordance with the law and within the institutional framework.

?The High Prosecutorial Council (KLP) expresses concern about the ongoing campaign of attacks, derogatory labels and attempts to pressure SPAK prosecutors in general and the prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, Olsi Dado, in particular. Statements articulated not only by certain media segments, but also by persons involved in investigations or accused by them, including high-ranking officials, damage the integrity and trust in Albanian justice. Verbal attacks violate the fair investigative and judicial process, as a fundamental guarantee of the rule of law.

The KLP calls for any allegation, accusation or complaint against a prosecutor to be handled in accordance with the law and within the institutional framework. The KLP reiterates the importance of respecting ethical standards of reporting by the media, ensuring impartiality in informing the public opinion, in order to avoid any form of disinformation that may affect the integrity of judicial processes. In respect of an independent judicial system, we call for patience and prudence. Any attempt to influence through public pressure or political debate undermines the principles of democracy.

"The High Prosecutorial Council stands in support of Prosecutor Olsi Dado and all prosecutors of the Republic of Albania, so that they exercise their function in accordance with the law, as the only guarantee that justice functions on the basis of facts, evidence and due legal process," the KLP's response states./ CNA

In the audio recordings that CNA has obtained, which were submitted by SPAK to the Appeals Court of the Constitutional Court of Albania, it is clearly visible in a conversation between Ajola Xoxa and Erion Veliaj, the evasion that Veliaj's wife makes towards the American Consulate in Tirana.

According to the materials, it seems clear that Ajola was contacted by the American Consulate. The reason is unknown. The Consulate calls you either to grant you a visa or to revoke it.

It is known that Ajola has a visa, the reason why she was summoned is unknown.

That if he were to apply for a visa at the US Consulate, there was no reason not to go, but it seems clear in the conversation that the US Consulate is being avoided, and then Erion Veliaj tells him that things will be resolved with Aleks's arrival.

Aleksi does not have his last name in the text, but as far as is suspected from the meaning of the conversation, he could be Alex Soros, a friend of Erion Veliaj, the mayor of Tirana, whom he often declares to be his brother and close friend.

So, from the entire conversation, it is clear that Ajola is avoiding him, but also afterwards, after the phone call with Veliaj and the mayor's stance to avoid the American Consulate. The reason why such a diplomatic institution is avoided is a bit strange.

We emphasized above that the Consulate calls you either to grant the visa or to revoke the visa.

If there was a visa application, it is understood that she would have gone in a hurry, the reason why she did not go is unknown.

So, there is a lot of suspicion that perhaps something else was going on at the US Consulate and Ajola wanted to avoid having any contact with the US Consulate in Tirana.

Below we present the intercepts.

CNA will continue today with the publication of other wiretaps about Mayor Erion Veliaj, arrested on serious charges such as corruption and laundering of proceeds of crime.

CNA is bringing a communication between Veliaj and his wife Ajola Xoxa.

On February 18, 2025, Ajola Xoxa informed Erion Veliaj that the American Consulate had requested that he appear at the American Embassy in Tirana on February 19, 2025.

"18.02.2025"

At 16:00, citizen Ajola Xoxa is contacted by the American Consulate, where she is asked to appear on 19.02.2025 at the American Embassy in Tirana. Ajola Xoxa informs her that due to health reasons she is unable to do so and leaves her to discuss another date," the intercepts obtained by CNA state.

In another interception provided by CNA, on February 19, 2025, Veliaj talks about Ajola Xoxa's call to the American Embassy where he tells her that she does not have to go to give an account to the parties of another country.

Among other things, Veliaj mentions the name of Aleks (suspected to be Alex Soros) and tells him that when he comes, things will be fixed and he doesn't need to give an account.

"19.02.2025"

At 18:15, Erion Veliaj talks about Ajola's call to the American Embassy, ??where he tells her that she doesn't have to go and that it's a different administration. He tells her that when Aleksi comes, things will be fixed and you don't need to answer to parties that are not your country," the intercepts obtained by CNA say./ CNA
