The complete file of the Florence Prosecutor's Office for Toni Marinaj/ From the answers to the photographs of the socialist mayor

Kreu i Bashkisë së Malësisë së Madhe, Tonin Marinaj, akuzohet nga Prokuroria e Firences si drejtues i një organizate kriminale të trafikut ndërkombëtar të drogës. CNA ka siguruar dosjen hetimore të Prokurorisë së Firences të vitit 2016, ku prokurori Giulio Monferini e akuzon Marinajn se ka themeluar, nxitur dhe drejtuar një organizatë me përmasa ndërkombëtare, me bazë kryesisht në Toskana, Venecia, Udine dhe në Shqipëri për trafik të marijuanës. Ndërkohë, CNA ka zbardhur me detaje se si funksiononte banda kriminale dhe personat e përfshirë në trafikun e lëndëve narkotike. Hetimet në shtetin italian, Tonin Marinaj nuk i ka deklaruar në formularin e vetëdeklarimit. Marinaj ka mashtruar në dy formularët e vetëdeklarimit, për zgjedhjet vendore të 2019 dhe 2023, ku ka thënë se nuk ka qenë asnjëherë në hetim nga ndonjë autoritet i huaj. Në lidhje me këtë çështje CNA i është drejtuar zyrtarisht KQZ-së se si po vijohet me këto verifikime dhe se a ka pasur dijeni për hetimet ndaj kryebashkiakut. Më 2 shtator, Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve në përgjigjen zyrtare për CNA sqaron se ky institucion më 11 korrik ka vendosur kryerjen e verifikimit të thelluar për Tonin Marinajn dhe dërgimin e të dhënave përkatëse Prokurorisë së Përgjithshme për vlerësim të mëtejshëm. KQZ nënvizon më tej se Prokuroria e Përgjithshme në lidhje me këtë subjekt nuk ka dërguar ende vendimin për miratimin e rezultateve të verifikimit.

8 years ago, in 2016, the head of the Municipality of Malësia e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj, was investigated by the Prosecutor's Office of Florence in Italy for having founded, encouraged and directed an organization of international proportions, based mainly in Tuscany, Venice, Udine and in Albania for marijuana trafficking. (read here)

CNA has secured the investigative file of the Florence Prosecutor's Office, where Tonin Marinaj is described as the "head" of the criminal gang. (read here)

In relation to this issue, CNA officially addressed the CEC on August 20 to obtain information on whether or not this institution has started the verification procedures for the socialist mayor Tonin Marinaj. 

On September 2, the Central Election Commission, in its official response to CNA, clarified that on July 11, this institution decided to conduct an in-depth verification of Toni Marinaj and send the relevant data to the General Prosecutor's Office for further evaluation.

The CEC further underlines that the General Prosecutor's Office in relation to this subject has not yet sent the decision on the approval of the verification results. 

"Regarding the information requested for Mr. Tonin Marinaj, we inform you that the information we have was sent through the postal service on 02.09.2024.

The answer received from the CEC

GENESIS

Everything started after a denunciation made by the Democratic Party at the beginning of July, which asked the General Prosecutor's Office to verify the mayor of Malësë e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj, according to the decriminalization law. ( read here)

After the DP's request, the Central Election Commission also started the movements, which on July 11 decided to start the in-depth verification for the socialist mayor. 

Regarding this request, there was no lack of reaction from Marinaj himself, who emphasized that everything is a shameful scenario and the accusations are fabricated and political.  (read here)

We emphasize that even after these investigations, Tonin Marinaj cheated twice more in the self-declaration forms for the 2019 and 2021 local elections. 

In both self-declaration forms, Tonin Marinaj has said that he has never been under investigation or trial by a foreign authority for any criminal offense. (read here)

CNA has tried several times to communicate with the socialist mayor, Tonin Marinaj, regarding this issue, but he has not answered our calls./ CNA

CNA has secured the investigation file of the Florence Prosecutor's Office for the head of the Municipality of Malësi e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj. In mid-August, CNA published the first news about the socialist mayor, where part of the investigative file was revealed. 

It all started after a denunciation made by the Democratic Party. 

GENESIS

On July 2, the Democratic Party asked the General Prosecutor's Office to verify, according to the decriminalization law, the mayor of Malësë e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj. (read here)

According to the DP, the Prosecutor's Office of Florence accuses Marinaj of being the head of a criminal organization of international drug trafficking, and the head of the Municipality of Malësi e Madhe hid these investigations in the self-declaration form. ( read here)

Regarding this request, there was also a reaction from the Marines themselves, who emphasized that everything is a shameful scenario and the accusations are fabricated and political.  (read here)

Thus, he denies the DP's accusations. 

The CNA has officially addressed the CEC on how these verifications are proceeding and whether it was aware of the investigations against the mayor. We have not yet received an official response.

But Marinaj did not stop there. He has deceived the CEC twice in the self-declaration forms, for the local elections of 2019 and those of 2023. The socialist mayor has stated that he has never been under investigation or trial by a foreign authority for any criminal offense even though the Prosecutor's Office file of Florence shows the opposite. 

Until the publication of the investigation file, CNA has tried several times to communicate with the socialist mayor, Tonin Marinaj, regarding this issue, but he has not answered our calls.

CNA do të viojë të publikojë detaje nga dosja hetimore për kryebashkiakun socialist. Gjithçka nisi pas një denoncimi të bërë nga Partia Demokratike, e cila i kërkoi Prokurorisë së Përgjithshme që të verifikojë sipas ligjit të dekriminalizimit kryetarin e Bashkisë së Malësisë së Madhe, Tonin Marinaj. (lexo këtu)

Pas kërkesës së PD-së nisi lëvizjet edhe Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve, i cili më 11 korrik vendosi të nisë verifikimin e thelluar për kryebashkiakun socialist. Në lidhje me këtë çështje CNA i është drejtuar zyrtarisht KQZ-së se si po vijohet me këto verifikime dhe se a ka pasur dijeni për hetimet ndaj kryebashkiakut.

Të njëjtën gjë ka bërë edhe në formularin e vetëdeklarimit për zgjedhjet vendore të 2019.(lexo këtu)

Tonin Marinaj, head of the municipality of Malësi e Madhe

The head of the Municipality of Malësi e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj, has twice deceived the Central Election Commission regarding the self-declaration form. 

This is clearly seen in the answers he gave in the two self-declaration forms for the local elections of 2019 and 2023, which denied that he was under investigation or trial by a foreign authority for any criminal offense. 

But how does the truth stand?

Tonin Marinaj, the mayor of Malësi e Madhe

A few weeks ago, the Democratic Party asked the General Prosecutor's Office to verify, according to the decriminalization law, the mayor of Malësë e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj.

According to the DP, the Prosecutor's Office of Florence accuses Marinaj of being the head of a criminal organization of international drug trafficking, and the head of the Municipality of Malësia e Madhe hid these investigations in the self-declaration form. 

In relation to this request, there was no lack of reaction from Marinaj himself, who emphasized that everything is a shameful scenario and the accusations are fabricated and political. 

He emphasized that he is open to any institution such as the CEC, the prosecutor's office, the HSC and SPAK to start investigations or verifications about his figure. Thus, he denies the DP's accusations. 

"I was surprised by the weak script, written or inspired by some scoundrel, a script that also reveals the purpose for which it was created. Next year, there are elections and the Great Highlands and the Highlanders will vote for their government, of course to reconfirm this majority and Prime Minister Edi Rama. I would not have bothered to answer you nongratas who are trying to create a scenario of slander in Malësi Madhe. But I feel an obligation to all the residents of Malësi Madhe not mine, obligation to the Socialist Party, the president and Prime Minister Edi Rama, to my colleagues, to relatives, friends and acquaintances and of course to my family to declare: With the greatest disgust and contempt I reject not only this scenario of shameful, unbelievable and ridiculous, but every attack and accusation made against me, the Municipality of Malësi e Madhe and my citizens. I am open to any institution such as the CEC, the prosecutor's office, the KLSH, SPAK or any other local organization and stranger to review any information at my direction. I offer my maximum cooperation to facilitate his work with a single goal: All the truths will be revealed and the promiscuous mouth of slander will be closed to every person, whether or not a member or leader of one of the DPs" , he emphasized in his reaction. 

After the DP's request, the Central Election Commission also started its movements, which on July 11 decided to start the in-depth verification for the socialist mayor. 

After the political accusations made by the DP, CNA has secured the investigative file of the Fierence Prosecutor's Office as well as a court decision for Toni Marinaj, even though the latter has publicly denied the investigations by the Italian authorities.

Until the moment of publication of this article, CNA has tried several times to communicate with the socialist mayor Tonin Marinaj regarding this issue, but he has not answered our calls.

The purpose of the phone calls was to get a statement from Mr. Marinaj about the accusations raised by the Italian authorities and how the case continued after 2016. We have requested communication with him more than 4-5 times, but he does not respond.

The fact is that PD has accused him, the mayor says they are political charges, CNA publishes the documents for the investigations of the Italian prosecutor's office, which also includes the mayor of Malësisa e Madhe, who instead of clarifying his position on this matter, has chosen to politicize that. CNA will continue to publish all documents of the authorities it has in relation to this matter./CNA
