A few days ago, CNA published an informative material regarding some movements in the media market in Albania.

The name mentioned was Shkëlqim Devolli, or "Devolli Group", which has been in Tirana for several weeks and has been negotiating and taking action in an attempt to acquire DigitAlb or other companies that are directly related to the field of television rights or digital network broadcasting.

According to sources available to CNA, "Devolli" had begun negotiations to purchase shares of DigitAlb, while on the other hand, Lori Hoxha herself, the administrator of "Top Channel", had been able to secure other shares of her former partners in the DigitAlb company.

In fact, DigitAlb has been a bone of contention for years, a company steeped in debt that was initially taken into administration by Vjollca Hoxha herself, later one by one the majority shareholders appointed their own administrator to this company, plunging it deeper and deeper into debt.

After the news published by CNA, Lori Hoxha reacted, who surprisingly brought the announcement from the media of people from the structured criminal group of incinerators, where it was said that DigitAlb had already been purchased by the Hoxha family, 80% of their shares, although according to the data, the money has not yet been paid.

The contract was conditional and Lori Hoxha claimed that the company would be as successful as before, as it had been profitable last year, as always, citing an accusation that it was competitors who were spreading news about DigitAlb.

Although our news had nothing negative in it. It was simply a very professional report on the actions being taken in this company according to data that we had obtained from several official sources both within the company and outside it.

But to see the glory of DigitAlb and the successes of Lori Hoxha's victories, for 6-month profits, we published a news yesterday, which had to do with the fact that last year alone, according to the balance sheets declared by the company itself, the tax liabilities amounted to around 1 million euros.

It is not known how much these liabilities have increased or decreased since last year, but official data from tax administrations said that DigitAlb is a company with debts to this institution.

Today we are discovering another fact.

According to data, again official, confirmed by sources within the DigitAlb company, today the company's debt is around 34 million euros.

So, DigitAlb has obligations to third parties, to its suppliers, 34 million euros to pay.

This is the "success" of the DigitAlb company. This is where DigitAlb, once the pride of Albanians, has been reduced to.

Being proud that you are drowning in debt with 34 million euros to suppliers and about 1 million euros in unpaid taxes, this is "success".

Not to mention the fact that you are proud of the 24-hour thefts that DigitAlb makes on its movie channels or in the broadcasts it makes during the 24 hours for which there have been complaints from the world's largest companies, but understandably, the closeness of DigitAlb's owners to power means that institutions do not react.

Although CNA has begun to collect official data and information coming from important embassies in Tirana, which are quite concerned about the actions of the DigitAlb company, let's stick to the debts.

DigitAlb says it made a profit in the first 6 months of 2025, but no one is saying the profit and we will wait for them to declare the balance sheets to the Central Bank, where they have not yet submitted them.

Maybe they have paid the fines for the delays, but the fact today is that there are 34 million euros in debt to suppliers, to third parties, about 1 million euros in tax liabilities, data inherited only from 2024, we have about 35 million euros in debt.

This is the "success" of DigitAlb in these years.

Let's see the rest later, as Lori Hoxha claims that with her magic wand she will return DigitAlb to glory, but more than returning viewers, she must first repay her debts./ CNA

The DigitAlb company, which was recently advertised by Lori Hoxha in the media controlled by the incinerators, from the corruption affair of the century, was said to already belong to the Hoxha family 80% and had started to make a profit, so we would see a new era in this company.

In fact, according to official data provided by CNA, DigitAlb has to pay around 1 million euros in taxes alone.

These are according to official data that CNA has obtained from Taxes.

But, verifying the company's balance sheets submitted to the Central Bank in 2024, there are about 830 million lek to be paid as liabilities.

The balance sheet for 2025 has not yet been submitted. Furthermore, the company has also accepted the fine.

But according to data provided to CNA by Taxes, DigitAlb's debt to the state could be more than around 1 million euros.

So, this is the successful company that Lori Hoxha advertised to us through the incinerator media, one of which is "Top Channel".

On the other hand, a glorious time is expected to come for a company that has a mountain of tax liabilities.

But according to data provided by CNA and which will belong to another material that we will publish soon, DigitAlb's debts to third parties, to suppliers, amount to tens of millions of euros.

Also this year there are even fewer rights than last year, as the Bundesliga, which Tring bought, has also left.

It is unknown why the Tax Office continues to tolerate DigitAlb, which has 1 million euros in unpaid debts, while other companies do not even leave 1 million lek and immediately the date comes, the collection of debts begins./ CNA

The digital broadcasting company in Albania, DigitAlb, is for sale.

So far, most of the legal and commercial actions have been completed.

It is learned that the company was sold to a businessman from Kosovo, Shkelqim Devolli. The actions of the Central Bank have not yet been clarified, as the contracts are conditional regarding payment.

According to information, the administrator of the company Eglinor Rama has left.

In the coming days, it is expected that Kushtrim Ndojani will take over as the new administrator of DigitAlb, who will also serve as a representative of businessman Devolli.

CNA previously announced these changes in the ownership of the digital company.

Once a source of pride for Albanians and the time it was unveiled, DigitAlb later turned into a financial pit with tens of millions of euros in debt.

DigitAlb was once the largest digital broadcasting company in Albania.

Pride for Albanians, pride for the time when it was unveiled, a platform that did not stop at broadcasting, but produced, taught, and lectured in all fields.

DigitAlb turned into one of the most profitable businesses in Albania, today into a financial hole with tens of millions of euros in debt.

There has often been talk of selling this company, there have been transactions, moves, shareholder confrontations. Albania's media titans were inside DigitAlb and often clashed.

A few months ago, CNA reported that the sale of DigitAlb was pending. (READ HERE)

At that time, it was rumored that it was businessman Klodian Allabeju, who had negotiations, but then the sale did not go through.

OTHER MOVEMENT

CNA has learned that other movements have already begun.

Movements with contracts, deadlines for payments and key actions are being made by Lori Hoxha, but also other figures from the business world.

Some of the shareholders, such as Edmond Leka, Armand Duka, etc., have sold their shares with a one-year payment term in favor of Lorela Hoxha and the heirs of Dritan Hoxha.

While the money has a time limit and somewhere within the information confirmed by Mrs. Hoxha herself, the payments come from one of the largest groups in Albania, which Kastrati, one of the main financiers of "Top Channel", with several hundred million lek per year for this television.

"SHADOW" OF DEVOLL'S SHINE

Devolli Shine

Shkëlqim Devolli is a businessman from Kosovo, who some time ago also appeared as the owner of "Abc News", a private television which, in fact, at that time was owned by Klodian Allajbeu, began to rise and enter the information market strongly, but one fine day he changed shareholders and became the voice of the Socialist Party, in the official newspaper "Zëri i Popullit".

In it, it was again said that businessman Shefqet Kastrati was behind the financing and businessman Shkëlqim Devolli was simply a facade, his people were simply superficial, his transactions were double, the payments were made by others.

"Abc" has been rumored for a long time to be having financial problems, and the "scissors" have begun. So, the same movement, the same people, are appearing. (READ HERE)

The people of Shkëlqim Devoll participate in the boards, somewhat hidden, careful not to come out openly in the face of a transaction that cannot escape the media eye, as it concerns the largest digital platform in the country, DigitAlb.

Ende nuk janë dhënë shifra të sakta. Flitet për dhjetëra miliona euro transaksione në finale për dyshimet që ngrihen.

CILAT JANË DYSHIMET?

Dyshimet janë te fakti se a është vërtetë Shkëlqim Devolli apo kush po e blen?

Pse lind kjo pyetje?

Sepse u ble nga Shkëlqim Devolli dhe u pagua nga të tjerët ?Abc? dhe u kthye në gazetën ?Zëri i Popullit?. Kështu, janë të gjitha gjasat që të ndodhë e njëjta formulë, që pushtetit t?i shërbejë ?Top Channel?, televizioni kombëtar, dhe t?u rikthejë aksionet plotësisht Lori Hoxhës dhe trashëgimtarëve të Dritan Hoxhës, të cilët një pjesë të tyre i kishin humbur, pasi nuk kishin paguar sipas kontratave detyrimet që kishin me ortakët e tjerë.

Tashmë gjithçka është e qartë. DigitAlb po shkon drejt shitjes, por a po kryhet ky transaksion për të marrë disa pronarë të rinj, pasi Shkëlqim Devolli ka edhe një kompani të tillë mediatike në Kosovë apo po bëhet për të tjera arsye, mbetet ta shikojmë.

Fakt dhe provë kemi ?Abc News?, një media që u ble nga Shkëlqim Devolli dhe u kthye në megafonin e qeverisë.  (LEXO KETU)

Ndërkohë që po ky person, me mediat e tij ?Klan Kosova? etj., në Kosovë, është armiku i kryeministrit Albin Kurti.

Pra, ka diçka që nuk shkon.

Një biznesmen nga Kosova vjen financon në Shqipëri, blen një televizion dhe ia vë në dispozicion kryeministrit. Këtu thellohet edhe historia për DigitAlbin apo dhe vetë ?Abc?-në.  

Mos vallë Shkëlqim Devolli e mori ?Abc?-në për të tjera interesa?!

Pra, për ta nxjerrë nga tregu i mediave kritike që shqetësonte kryeministrin. A po luhet tani që sërish me këtë individ, pra Shkëlqim Devollin, për ta përdorur për benefitet e pushtetit në Shqipëri, transaksionet e mundshme, përfitimet që mund të ketë, si fshihet pas të tretëve në Kosovë apo në Shqipëri, për të bërë blerje, transaksione të caktuara për llogari të pushtetit dhe për interesat e tij?

Gjithçka nuk është pa fakte dhe pa burime.

Kemi ?Abc?-në, kemi lëvizjet aktuale, kemi kthimin e televizionit në një marionetë të qeverisë. Kemi interesat e Shkëlqim Devollit, kemi futjen e biznesmenëve të tjerë të mëdhenj, kemi shitjen e aksioneve të DigitAlb, të cilat nuk janë aq të thjeshta, por shkojnë edhe tek individë, së fundi kontrolluar dhe nga SPAK-u që janë parë në praninë e shpeshtë të Lori Hoxhës dhe negociojnë midis pushtetit dhe biznesit./ CNA
