The Secretary General of the Freedom Party, Tedi Blushi, has published a series of documents that, according to him, shed light on the much-discussed CEZ-DIA issue.

According to Blushi, the DIA company was "an American creature from beginning to end" and had no connection to Ilir Meta.

He emphasizes that based on legal evidence and official documents, the main figure of the company was American citizen Rebecca Gaskin, who, according to him, exercised a leadership role both de facto and de jure.

In his statement, Blushi refers to various testimonies, emails and documents, including NRC registrations, to argue that Gaskin was the legal representative and main decision-maker of DIA, even in international arbitration processes.

At the same time, he has leveled strong accusations against Prime Minister Edi Rama, claiming that he is "the only senior official involved" in the CEZ-DIA affair and linking it to the decision to resolve the conflict with the Czech company CEZ, which according to him has cost the Albanian state 479 million euros.

Full word:

For complete transparency before domestic and international public opinion, we are publishing today the legal evidence that proves the sole and irrefutable truth that the DIA company was, from beginning to end, an American creation and that it has never had, could not have, and cannot have any connection with President Ilir Meta.
Today we will prove, based solely on legal evidence, that American citizen Rebecca Gaskin was No. 1 of the DIA, not only de facto but also de jure.
Regarding CEZ, it is proven that it established the connections for DIA because it had experience in the Czech Republic and the references of American companies in the Czech Republic were also used as references by CEZ for the conclusion of the contract, as the senior Czech representative of this company, Mr. Josef Hejsek, testified on December 20, 2011 at the Tirana Prosecutor's Office and under oath.
Because Rebecca Gaskin was one of the 3 shareholders of DIA's parent company and that she was decisive in concluding the CEZ-DIA agreement.
Because as Elvis Mataj states, in at least two emails, dated December 10, 2010 and April 9, 2014, she was the de facto No. 1 of the DIA.
But, as we will prove below, she also appears in the NRC documents as de jure No. 1 of the DIA at the moment she dismisses Kastriot Ismail from the position of administrator.
So her name is everywhere, both in the decisions of Albanian courts against DIA, but also in the Vienna Arbitration.
But let's continue with the publication of evidence.
First, we are making public one of Mr. Elvis Mataj's emails, dated December 10, 2010, addressed to the senior Czech representative of CEZ, Mr. Josef, where he claims that Ms. Rebecca Gaskin was de facto No. 1 of DIA.
We continue with the next piece of legal evidence, the testimony of the senior Czech representative of CEZ, Mr. Josef Hejsek, given under oath before the prosecutor on December 20, 2011, where he affirms the only truth that CEZ's contact with DIA was recommended by the parent company DIA of Washington, with the argument that according to them, it had experience in collecting debts worldwide worth about 4 billion dollars, without forgetting references to some work they were doing in the Czech Republic.
Specifically, Hejsek testifies that "the references they brought from the DIA in Washington were what made us sign the contract. They said they had collected about 4 billion USD worldwide and had proven their technology, how to collect debts and used some references that they were also doing some work in the Czech Republic, as an American company."
We now continue, with another piece of evidence, the testimony given by Mr. Hejsek on October 26, 2014 at the Vienna Arbitration.
Speaking about the DIA shareholders, he states, quote: “there was an American lady associated with Mr. Ismailaj’s company, Ms. Rebecca Gaskin. In some documents the name of a lawyer was used as the “responsible person”; this was most likely Ms. Gaskin.”
Also, in paragraph 53 of his testimony in the Vienna Arbitration, Mr. Hesjkek states that “I was also provided with Mr. Mataj’s e-mail dated 18 January 2011, in which a second questionnaire was sent to me regarding DIA shareholders. This questionnaire, in particular, includes a reference to DIA shareholders, namely two members of the “DIA” board and Ms. Rebecca Gaskin.
We continue, with another piece of evidence, an e-mail from Mr. Elvis Mataj, sent on December 10, 2010 to Mr. Hejsek, to the parent company and shareholders.
Among other things, Mr. Mataj highlights that:
“DIA and its subsidiary Somerset Trade Finance, LLC currently have regional offices in the United States, Russia, Eastern Europe and Africa.
M.SH – Managing Director
Ph.R – Managing Director, Somerset Trade Finance”
Then Mr. Mataj specifies in the email to Mr. Hejsek that “The team of experts is led by DIA's General Counsel, Ms. Rebecca Gaskin, who has extensive and consolidated international experience in developing countries and Africa, in debt-related transactions and instruments, in corporate and government debt management, as well as in financial advisory.”

We continue with another piece of legal evidence, an e-mail dated January 18, 2011 that Mr. Elvis Mataj sends again to Mr. Hejsek regarding the three shareholders of DIA, where at the top of this communication he clarifies "Please find attached a draft of responses regarding the contract between CEZ and DIA."
In this specific email question:
"Who are the owners of DIA?"
Gives the exhaustive answer:
“Debt International Advisory – Albania Branch is a partner and subsidiary of “Debt Advisory International, LLC”. The shareholder group consists of the most experienced international experts in debt collection and financial consulting, as well as prominent local investors.
The main shareholder structure is as follows:
a) Mr. Michael F. Sheehan
b) Mr. Philip G. O'Rourke
c) Mrs. Rebecca Gaskin”
After learning of this response, Mr. Hejsek did not delay and on January 18, 2011, he sent an official letter to Prague informing them that the parent DIA has a portfolio of over 40 billion dollars in debt and the names of 3 shareholders.
“Debt Advisory International manages a portfolio of over US$40 billion in debt collections and other debt instruments worldwide.”

We continue with the next piece of evidence, the interview of Mr. Vojsava Ismailaj, the wife of Mr. Kastriot Ismailaj, given on February 12, 2016, where, among other things, she states that "Rebeka was Kastriot's collaborator in almost all of his businesses, of course also in the DIA business. She and Kastriot made decisions together."
In the same interview, Ms. Vojsava Ismailaj denounces that "I have strong suspicions that there are shady agreements between the Albanian state and Ms. Rebeka. Otherwise, she would now be the same as Kastrioti: Arrested and under indictment.

Now we move on to another official proof, which dispels all the fog, extinguishes all conjecture, and grabs the bull by the horns.
It is a copy of the historical extract of the commercial register for the data of the entity “DIA – Branch in Albania” and where it is clearly clarified that the legal representative is Ms. Rebecca Louise Gaskin Gain.
In this official state document, legal evidence, it is also specified that: “The competences related to the arbitration process taking place in Vienna with the company Electricity Distribution Operator (OSHEE) and all other competences will be held by Ms. Rebecca Louise Gaskin Gain.
In the "registration history" section of this official document, in the act dated December 1, 2014, it is specified that "
"Deposition of the decision dated 1.12.2014, where it was decided: To dismiss Mr. Kastriot Ismailaj as Branch Administrator in Albania and to appoint Mr. Ali Cena to the position of Branch Administrator.
The powers related to the arbitration process taking place in Vienna with the Electricity Distribution Operator (OSHEE) and all other powers will be vested in Ms. Rebecca Louise Gaskin Gain.”
So it is very clear that Mr. Kastriot Ismailaj is dismissed and that Rebecca takes over all representation in Arbitration.
So Rebeca was not only Mr. Ismaili's partner, but also his boss at DIA, otherwise how could he dismiss her as administrator on December 1, 2014.
Who dismisses you as Administrator? The owner is known. That a subordinate cannot dismiss his superior.
So, as proven, not by one, but by all of these legal evidences, irrefutable facts and clear as daylight, that the DIA from beginning to end has been an American creature, already proven with these documents, and has neither had nor could have had any connection with Ilir Meta.
Only a justice system that is completely tied to Edi Rama's capital and on behalf of Soros and the international mafia, can not only confuse METE with Meta, but only such a justice system can try to replace Rebeka with Ilir Meta in the DIA issue.
The problem here is not with Rebeca, but with SPAK, which deliberately "forgets" the facts that legally prove that she and only she was the true connection between DIA and CEZ.
Kastriot Ismailaj's wife rightly asks the question why, after Kastriot Ismailaj's dismissal as DIA administrator at the National Council of the Republic, Rebeca decided to oppose DIA in the Arbitration against CEZ?
The answer to this question is provided by the official lawsuit of the Albanian Supreme Audit Institution against the Rama Government for forgiving 479 million euros to CEZ.
Therefore, on behalf of the Freedom Party, I reiterate the call to all journalists and analysts, representatives of civil society, but also of the diplomatic corps accredited in Tirana, to come on April 27 to the first session of the trial on the merits, as well as to all other sessions, to see how the mafia kidnapping of President Meta was justified on October 21, 2024, based solely on lies and forgeries.
Come see how the DIA was a de facto and de jure American creature and how the letter-orders were launched solely with the intent of deceiving American and other authorities!
Come and see how "DIA" turns out to be a structure built and used for dark interests, in collaboration with the government, in function of the 479 million euro affair with CEZ, one of the most serious scandals, for which the Supreme State Audit has filed a criminal complaint, while the file continues to sleep.
Transparency is the only path to the truth. Don't miss any hearing to see up close the dismantling of a farcical, political and criminal trial against the President of the Freedom Party, a trial that today, more than ever, stinks of the decision of the Court of Appeal.
