After Ajola and Erald Simixhiu, Valbona Xoxa becomes the third person from Erion Veliaj's wife's family to open a company in the field of art and culture almost at the same time.

Valbona Xoxa, Erion Veliaj's mother-in-law, in just 2 months of activity manages to earn over 20,000 euros from the business for 2021, while for 2022 there is a net profit of 110,000 euros.

The profit of Valbona Xoxa, which is thrown for investment

So, Valbona Xoxa, Erion Veliaj's mother-in-law, in addition to the monthly salary she receives as an administrator of the company "AVA STUDIO", as a successful businesswoman, it turns out that she receives at least 10,000 euros profit per month with services in art and culture. ( Read here )

Companies, at the same addresses

The investigation into the family members of Veliaj's wife does not end here.

Another important detail is that their companies have the same address. In the information extracted from the official website of Ajola Xoxa, she declares her employment in 3 art galleries, the "NAAN" art gallery, the "Harabel" art gallery and the "Gurgur" art gallery.  ( Read here )

All three galleries have their headquarters at the same address as the law firm of Ajola Xoxa. 

Her businesses are located on "Ibrahim Rugova" street in the area of ??the former Block, where she does not even pay rent.  ( Read here )

On the other hand, the address of the company founded by Ajola Xoxa's mother, Valbona, is in Unit number 5, "Brigada e VIII" street, on the tenth floor of a building.

But the email address stated in the CKB is [email protected], of Ajola Xoxa's company.

Thus, the companies of Ajola i Veliajt are related to those of her family members not only with the type of activity they carry out, but also with their addresses./ CNA

After Ajola's uncle, Erion Veliaj's retired mother-in-law, Ajola Xoxa's mother, Valbona, appears on stage.

The family of Erion Veliaj, after the arrival of the latter at the head of the Municipality of Tirana and receiving the second mandate from Rilindja, add businesses mainly in the field of art and culture. ( READ HERE)

CNA has conducted an investigation regarding another person from Erion Veliaj's family.

After the uncle of Ajola Xoxa, the wife of Erion Veliaj, where CNA discovered that he and his wife owned and managed a limited liability company and an NGO, which was paid by the Municipality of Tirana, we are bringing another case. ( READ HERE )

CNA was able to discover that not only Ajola Xoxa and her uncle deal with art and culture, who were also connected to the company. "Encyclopedic Publications", the mother of Ajola and the mother-in-law of Erion Veliaj appear in the same field.

According to the official data provided by the KKB, it turns out that the retired mother-in-law of the mayor Erion Veliaj, Mrs. Valbona Xoxa, founded the company "AVA STUDIO" in October 2021.

So far there is nothing abnormal, anyone, at any age, can open businesses and exercise cultural and commercial activities.

According to official data, the address of the company founded by Mr. Veliaj's mother-in-law is in Unit number 5, "Brigada e VIII" street, on the tenth floor of a building.

The email address stated in the CKB is "[email protected]" of Ajola XOXË's company.

Data in KKB

According to the data, the company aims to:

The purpose of the society is to carry out various activities in the field of publishing, art and culture, in the social and educational field and in the field of tourism.

Data in KKB

Valbona Xoxa becomes the third person from Erion Veliaj's wife's family to open a company in the field of art and culture almost at the same time. After Ajola, it's her uncle and mother who start doing different activities, earning tens of thousands of euros a month.

Valbona Xoxa, profits with a bet of 100 thousand euros

Valbona Xoxa, Erion Veliaj's mother-in-law, in just 2 months of activity manages to earn over 20,000 euros from the business for 2021.

Data in KKB

Very "talented" for business and maybe delayed in opening it. A retiree who immediately excelled as a businesswoman, overshadowing the former high school teacher.

But the 20 thousand euros were for the two months of 2021, because the subject "AVA STUDIO" for 2022 manages to have a net profit of 110,000 euros.

Valbona Xoxa also makes the same decision to invest the profit just like her brother.

The decision, Valbona Xoxa invests the profit

The brilliance continues even further, customers and funds pouring in for Mrs. Valbona Xoxa, who was surpassing even her daughter Ajola, who does not seem to be as successful in the field of art and culture as her mother and uncle, who have annual profits of 100 thousand euros with newly founded companies. Super talented, but late in hatching activities.

It is not yet known who are the clients of Erion Veliajt's mother-in-law and what third party relationship they have with the son-in-law or the daughter.

Ajola Xoxa, Erion Veliaj's wife

The investigation is deepening for the family members of the mayor Erion Veliaj and his wife Ajola Xoxa, who are implicated in several schemes of earning funds or developing activities by receiving payments for various cultural projects in Albania.

CNA discovered with indisputable facts and evidence how the Municipality of Tirana had given 5 payments to the company of Ajola Xoxa's uncle, Erald Simixhiu. ( READ HERE )

According to the official data provided by CNA and published, 5 payments were made by the Municipality of Tirana, amounting to about 93 million lek directly given to the "Eventus" center by the Municipality of Tirana at different times.

Tirana Municipality's payment to Erald Simixhiu

But apart from Tirana Municipality, Ajola Xoxa's uncle's company has also received some payments from the Ministry of Culture.

Payments by the Ministry of Culture to Erald Simixhiu

All that was said above is proven with facts and evidence.

CNA underlined that it would not stop here and today it will bring other facts and another scheme of how Ajola Xoxa introduced her family members to other companies where she is also a shareholder.

What's happening?

Ajola Xoxa's uncle, Erald Simixhiu, in addition to having an LLC and an NGO, where his wife was a director and it was reported by CNA that he had received payments from the Municipality of Tirana, in the amount of about 93 million ALL, from 2019 he is also a Member in the Board of Administration of the Encyclopedic Publications company.

Data from KKB for the Encyclopedic Publishing Company

According to the data provided by CNA, over 89.5% of the shares of this company are held by Ajola Xoxa, who is both an administrator and a shareholder, and her mother, Valbona Simixhiu Xoxa, who actually seems to have the majority of the shares. Encyclopedic Publishing Company with 69.71% of the shares.

In fact, the movement of shares in this company has strong doubts in all the legal procedures followed for capital increase and giving shares to many shareholders and inflating the shares given to Ajola Xoxa and Valbona Simixhiu Xoxa.

But that matters little.

CNA brings the second connection of Ajola Xoxa's uncle, Erald Simixhiu, with Ajola Xoxa.

It is not only the company that receives payments worth around 93 thousand euros from the Municipality of Tirana, but it is also Ajola who has introduced her uncle, Erald Simixhiu, to the Board of Directors of the company, together with her mother, who has more than 89.5% of the shares.

The scheme is very clear about how Ajola Xoxa's family members have been implicated in money-making schemes.

Mayor Erion Veliaj pays tens of thousands of euros to Ajola Xoxa's uncle, according to the data obtained from the treasury and Ajola Xoxa's uncle through the LLC declares a profit of around 93 thousand euros per year and in today's investigation it turns out that Ajola Xoxa's uncle is a member of Board of Directors in a company where the administrator is Ajola Xoxa, where over 89.5% of the shares are held by Ajola together with her mother, Valbona Simixhiu Xoxa./ CNA

Cultural projects, art curation, are some of the ways that the people of Erion Veliaj have benefited from the funds provided by the Municipality of Tirana, but also by the government.

CNA has reported dozens of materials about Ajola Xoxa, the wife of Erion Veliajt, who turned from her profession as a lawyer into an art curator. ( READ HERE)

There are several centers for such events. In today's investigation, CNA will bring facts and evidence about how Erion Veliaj paid the family members of his wife, Ajola Xoxa.

AJOLA XOXHA'S UNCLE WITH "EVENTUS" CENTER AND "ART LAB"

In 2021, the "Eventus" center opens in Albania, which includes activities in the field of culture, as well as the "Art Lab" company. 

According to the data that CNA was able to collect, it turns out that the "Eventus" center of Ajola Xoxa's uncle has the same address as her niece's companies, ie at "Ibrahim Rugova" street, Sky Tower, Tirana. 

Address of the "Eventus" center

Ajola Xoxa's company address

So, the "Eventus" cultural center, opened in 2021, exercises its activity at exactly the same address, street and building as Ajola Xoxa.

We go further.

SCHEME, ERION VELIAJ PAYS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF EUROS TO AJOLA XOXA'S UNCLE

According to the data released by CNA, Erald Simixhiu is the husband of Linda Kazan, who is the official director of the "Eventus" center.

Meanwhile, Erald Simixhiu opens the "Art Lab" company, which he has in his name at the KKB according to this document.

So far, there are two artists who hold cultural events, also in Tirana they gave interviews, gave musical concerts and exercised their activity.

News about the activities

News about the activities

But we go further.  The "Eventus" center, according to data provided by CNA, has received payments of tens of thousands of euros from the Municipality of Tirana.

So, Erion Veliaj directly paid Ajola Xoxa's uncle to develop his activity, but here we are facing a PURE CONFLICT OF INTEREST .

5 PAYMENT FROM THE MUNICIPALITY OF TIRANA FOR THE UNCLE OF AJOLA XOXHA

According to the official data provided by CNA, there are 5 payments, which amount to over 90 million lek from the Municipality of Tirana, directly given to the "Eventus" center by the Municipality of Tirana at different times.

Immediately after the opening of this company, it appears that so far in these 5 payments, two invoices belong to the year 2022, two invoices belong to the year 2023 and 1 invoice belongs to the year 2024. (PHOTO, PAYMENT BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF TIRANA)

Payments from Tirana Municipality to Erald Simixhiu, Ajola Xoxa's uncle

What stands out is the fact that the payment of the year 2024, in a single one, is as much as two bills of the year 2022-2023.

Also, the "Eventus" center has had small benefits from the Ministry of Culture. 

Payments from the Ministry of Culture to Ajola Xoxa's uncle, Erald Simixhiu

So, in total there are 7 payments for the "Eventus" center of Ajola Xoxa's uncle, the wife of Erion Veliaj, 5 payments from the Municipality of Tirana and 2 payments from the Ministry of Culture.

These are also confirmed by the documents above.

So what happens?! In addition to the "Eventus" center, which receives payments directly from the Municipality of Tirana, Erion Veliaj pays Ajola Xoxa's wife and uncle.

THE INVESTIGATION DEEPENDS

CNA goes further.  In addition to the "Eventus" center, we went to a detail related to the company "Art Lab" in the name of Erald Simixhiu.

As soon as he comes to Albania in 2021, in a few months he declares a profit of about 90 million ALL and on June 30, 2023 he declares the annual report of the company's accounts to the National Business Center.

And what happens with "Art Lab"?

As soon as he came to Albania, just one year later, the company of Ajola Xoxa's uncle, Erald Simixhiu, turned out with a profit of about 93 million lek, about 93 thousand euros.

And, all according to the document that CNA is bringing, all the profit will be passed as an investment.

The scheme is quite clear. Ajola Xoxa's uncle comes to Albania through two entities, an LLC and an NGO.

The "Eventus" center, which receives payments directly from the Municipality of Tirana, is run by Linda Kazani, wife of Erald Simixhiu, uncle of Ajola Xoxa.

And Erald Simixhiu opens a limited liability company, which is called "Art Lab" and only in 2022 records a profit of 93 million lek (93 thousand euros), which he passes all of it as an investment.

The scheme clearly shows how Erion Veliaj paid Ajola Xoxa's uncle, according to the data received from the treasury and how Ajola Xoxa's uncle declares the profit of around 93 thousand euros per year through the LLC.

OTHER FACTS FOLLOWING, INCLUSION OF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OF AJOLA XOXHA IN THE PAYMENT SCHEME

CNA has deepened the investigation into Erion Veliajt's family members and apparently, not only Ajola Xoxa, but also others in her circle have been involved in schemes to gain funds or develop activities by receiving payments from various cultural activities projects in Albania.

The Municipality of Tirana as the main financier, but also the Ministry of Culture, with payments that are less. After Ajola had opened several centers for the curation of art, her uncle has opened a center and a limited liability company related to music.

CNA will also bring other facts about other family members, but also the deeper connections of Erald Simixhiu with Ajola Xoxa, but also her mother, Valbona Simixhiu, where the latter is included in some payment schemes or different activities in the field of culture.

WE EMPHASIZE THAT:

The scandals of the Municipality of Tirana, the mayor Erion Veliaj have not stopped.

CNA has made a series of denunciations about the incinerators, about the "5D" file, but also about the funds used for advertising by Erion Veliaj's brother , Arbër Veliaj, who is the media capture. ( Read here )

CNA has also denounced the schemes of Ajola Xoxa from being a lawyer turned art curator. But not only her, she also becomes Ayola's mother on the way (this belongs to another investigation in the process). ( Read here )

CNA was able to bring to the end a complete investigation file regarding the family members of Ajola Xoxa, who were paid by the Municipality of Tirana for various cultural events.

In the case of Ajola, its centers were paid by the Ministry of Culture and this was shown by concrete payments from the treasury. ( Read here )

On the other hand, in the investigation carried out by CNA, it turns out that family members, relatives of Ajola Xoxa who live outside Albania, have opened centers in Albania in the form of NGOs, through which they have applied and won funds from the Municipality of Tirana , directed by Erion Veliaj.

Municipality of Tirana, source LSA

CNA has been able to bring to the end the entire chain of companies, the names involved that go up to the same building where Ajola Xoxa has its offices, to that building where the activity of her family members and relatives is carried out, to whom she then gives funds Municipality of Tirana, that is Erion Veliaj, Ajola's husband.

The address of the offices of Ajola Xoxa, declared by the latter on her social networks

This investigation shows another clear and complete scheme of the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, in addition to his circle of directors with thieves, or the allegations that he was the main man and "actual owner" of the Tirana incinerator, the allegations against his wife Ajola Xoxa with some of her actions with various NGOs as an art curator, or Erion's mother-in-law, Ajola's mother, or even denunciations about the funds that his brother, Arbër Veliaj, receives from private businesses, who distributes the large amount of advertising in the media.

Moreover, we were able to discover how Erion Veliaj pays the family members of Ajola Xoxa, how the latter earn hundreds of thousands of euros every year from curating art or cultural events.

CNA has prepared a complete file , which will undoubtedly be of even greater help to SPAK prosecutors who are conducting a property investigation for Erion Veliaj and his family members.  ( Read here )

This is a very flagrant case and CNA will bring the full details below, showing concrete figures with indisputable data and facts./ CNA

Ajola Xoxa

Në vijim të mbledhjes së detajeve mbi përfshirjen e Ajola Xoxës në veprimtaritë e lidhura me artin në qytetin e Tiranës, bëmë një vëzhgim në faqen zyrtare të zonjës Veliaj.

Vihet re që deri në maj të vitit 2017, Ajola Xoxa mbetej shumë e angazhuar në panele ku e përzgjidhnin të fliste për fusha të drejtësisë. Nëse koleksionon gjithë temat për të cilat është përzgjedhur si eksperte Ajola, ato shkojnë nga e drejta kushtetuese, te reforma në drejtësi (nuk mund të mungonte kjo), e deri tek e drejta tregtare.

Postimi Ajola Xoxës në 2016 për fushën juridike

Me kaq shumë ekspertizë juridike, nuk ka asnjë profesor në Sorbone ku ka studiuar Ajola. Ata janë të gjithë të specializuar dhe ushtrojnë profesionin në një fushë të caktuar. Por kjo nuk vlente për Ajola Xoxen. Nuk vlente të paktën deri në maj 2017.

Ajola Xoxa

Me një gamë të gjerë ekspertizë juridike, të krahasueshme të paktën me të një 70-vjeçareje në profesion, zonjën Xoxa e ftonin të gjithë ata që sot njihen si sekti që ka kapur drejtësinë.

Por ky angazhim duket dikur shuhet nga darka në mëngjesin e 17 majit 2017. Në faqen zyrtare të zonjës Xoxa data 17 maj shënon postimin e saj të fundit me temë angazhimet si lektore dhe paneliste të drejtësisë.

Në kulmin e karrierës juridike, pas disa vitesh studimi dhe promovimi nga kokat e drejtësisë, Ajola Xoxa vendos të mbyllë llogaritë me profesionin si juriste! Të paktën ka mbyllur ekspozimin në faqen e vet si e tillë! Pas kësaj date zonja Xoxa nuk ka më asnjë postim që lidhet me jurisprudencën. 

Surpriza mbetet e madhe sepse menjëherë pas kësaj date, zonja Xoxa ka zbuluar pasionin si kuratore arti. Pas kësaj date zonja Xoxa shfaqet si kuratore arti. Asnjë postim i mëparshëm nuk zbulon ndonjë shkollim, kurs apo qoftë edhe angazhim si juriste në fushat juridike të lidhura me artin.

Papritur zonja Xoxa nuk është më e ftuara e paneleve juridike ku shpjegohen doktrina të nivelit deri kushtetues. Papritur në janar 2018 zonja Xoxa hap platformën e vet ?Harabel? dhe që nga ajo datë Zonja Xoxa është kuratorja zyrtare e pothuaj çdo aktiviteti të programuar nga Teatri Kombëtar i Operës dhe Baletit. Pas hapjes së galerive NAAN dhe GURGUR është zë i rëndësishëm dhe daljet e saj në podiume shfaqjesh, bëhen gjë e zakonshme.

?Harabeli? shfaqet si ortak me Ministrinë e Kulturës dhe Teatrin e Operës dhe Baletit në një numër shumë të madh posterash të ?kuruar? nga zonja Xoxe e që njoftonin eventin artistik të radhës. Çfarë zhgënjimi pësoi zonja Xoxa nga panelet e Artan Hoxhës të sektit të drejtësisë? Apo çfarë e bëri të gjente më mirë veten te podiumet e shfaqjeve artistike? (lexo këtu)

Është e vërtetë që zonja Xoxa evokon shpesh në faqen e saj gjyshin shkrimtar dhe gjyshen balerinë. Por nga zonja Xoxa nuk gjejmë ndonjë botim as që të justifikonte përzgjedhjen e saj në panelet e sektit të drejtësisë dhe as ndonjë vepër që të dëshmojë ndonjë dhunti të trashëguar në artin e shkruar, përveç një shkrimi për gjyshin në një portal i cili nuk hapet më.

Të shpjegohet pasioni i zonjës Xoxa me fustanin që dikur tha që ia kishte qepur gjyshja, menjëherë pasi rezultoi që Dolce & Gabbana i kishte vjedhur modelin e fustanit?

Shumë gjëra mbeten të pashpjeguara siç mbeten të paqarta vlerat e blerjes, pronësisë, ndërtimit dhe kostove të mirëmbajtjes dhe operimit të dy galerive të zonjës Xoxa, Galerisë NAAN dhe GURGUR.

Njëra e ndodhur në mes të bllokut dhe tjetra në mes të Petrelës. Sipas njoftimeve në faqen e saj zyrtare, zonja Xoxa ka njoftuar aktivitete të ?Harabelit?, si në universitetit e arteve, në instalacionin ?reja? etj.

Vepra e Sislej Xhafës që iu dhurua ?Harabel?-it të Ajolës dhe u instalua në territorin e inceneratorit të Tiranës.

A ka marrë leje zyrtarisht ?Harabeli? për aktivitetet? Nuk po e pyesim a ka paguar qira se pastaj do na thonë që jemi kundër artit. Mbetet sidoqoftë e pakuptuar pse në Maj 2017 Xoxa ndërroi drejtimin e karrierës.

E vetmja ngjarje që ka ndodhur pak përpara majit, është një nënshkrim nga Erjon Veliaj, i cili në 27.03.2017 dha "OK" për inceneratorin e Tiranës duke tejkaluar kompetencat dhe duke nënshkruar mbi kompetenca të Këshillit Bashkiak. 

Arti është një nga format më ?elegante? të pastrimit të parave. Dhe ish-zv.kryeministri ka akuzuar zotin Veliaj si pronar faktik të inceneratorit të Tiranës. A janë përdorur bizneset e zonjës Xoxa  për të pastruar fondet e inceneratorëve?/CNA
