Journalist Klodiana Lala, guest on the show 'This week' IN News24 Moderator Nisida Tufa spoke about the AKSHI scandal that SPAK is investigating, a matter for which several arrest measures have been issued.
At the beginning of the interview, Lala said that this dossier could bring down the 'Rama' government due to the major abuses discovered, while some of the elements that this issue is one of the most important that SPAK is investigating.
"The AKSHI file is a file that can bring down the government. I say this with full responsibility. It is a capture of the state by a structured criminal group, not only because of the fact that tenders were predetermined in the AKSHI, but because of the way this criminal group cooperated, how money was laundered or how businessmen were kidnapped, or others were intimidated. So, in this aspect, it is probably the most important file that the Special Prosecution Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime has ever investigated. Why do I say this? Because it is about a state institution, an institution that certainly managed a significant budget in terms of Albanian taxpayers' money. There was sensitive data that the AKSHI had. Of the justice system and the banks.
I consider it a very important issue for the way it starts from hostage-taking, money laundering, pre-determination of tenders to theft or hacking of data. Now regarding your question, the Special Prosecution Office, after an investigation of no more than three-four months, has managed to seize in this first phase about 40 million euros of real estate, but also movable assets of the suspected persons. And we are talking about Ervis Agas and Ermal Beqiri, who are suspected of being part of the structured criminal group. The assets of Mirlinda Karçanaj, former general director of AKSHI, who is currently under house arrest, have also been seized. ", said Lala.
