Eduart Shalsi is the deputy of the Socialist Party who is remembered for his sensational statement 11 years ago.

Shalsi promised that he would not steal as blatantly as today's opposition when he was in power.

"Above all, a promise that we can make right now, we will not steal as flagrantly as these have done," Shalsi said.

But now, his statement comes as a boomerang, since the SP deputy has been accused of 7-fold and concealment of wealth.

Before joining Edi Rama's team in the Municipality of Tirana as the mayor's chief of staff in 2004, Shalsi had a total wealth of 9,737,000 ALL. ( Read here )

But this wealth has increased over the years.

According to the head of the DP Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, the socialist's wealth has increased by over 500 million ALL.

Bardhi raised accusations in the Assembly that now, after 10 years, Shalsi's wealth has reached the figure of 680 million old lek.

He also accused Shalsi of hiding his wealth from his wife, son-in-law and brother-in-law.

"You have to explain to the Albanians when you refer to well-being, you refer to the 7-folding of your wealth, from the old 90 million lek to the old 680 million lek. If I repeat, 1.8 million euros of hidden assets have been found in his name and surname. You will return the illegal assets to the Albanians so that the well-being of the Albanians increases", said Bardhi.

These accusations have been denied by the SP deputy, but Bardhi's data speak of staggering figures reached at a time when Shalsi's monthly salary is 1,000 euros./ CNA
