Vetting show
From the conversation with Ilir Binaj's father, Director General of Taxes, the facts that the show had exposed would resurface, such as the company "TPA Albania" sh.pk, where Agim Binaj owns 2% of the shares, but which, according to some laws, his son was categorically prohibited from taking on this position.
Binaj also exposes the Minister of Finance when he says that Petrit Malaj follows the same formula with his auditing company as his father.
"Up to 10 million, man, look at it. Up to 10 million, I agree with you. This job is over. I solved it. If it was over 10 million, then I had a conflict of interest, I was forced to sell the office and move somewhere else. That's gone. You know, this is verified because I verified everything before you. Okay, this chapter is closed. Now the problem arises, let's come to the first one, to this company that the guy was a shareholder and that sold the shares to, he sold them to his colleague Laura, I have 2% here (referring to the company TPA Albania), to this Austrian. Sir, I do not have a controlling stake, I have 2% as a shareholder and I do not exercise auditing functions, I am not even an administrator."
"It is a title and it will be called a conflict of interest when I achieve a turnover or an income of over 10 million lek. It is over because I clarified this point that otherwise I would have closed it since the son was appointed. But this point excludes me and I clarified this. Opening the law up to 10 million lek is called a conflict of interest. My dear, let him be a deputy, let him be a minister.
"The Minister of Finance has the same thing with his father," he says. So, the Minister of Finance is also in a conflict of interest due to a company that is supposedly an audit firm that he owns, while his son manages the state's finances.

"AGIM BINAJ: I'm not hiding anything from you, I'm declaring it to you like a priest. I tell him, boy. You have no status, you're a politician, I can't catch you. I print it out, I give it to him, it's over, that's it.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Regardless of this, the senior manager must declare the conflict of interest.
AGIM BINAJ: But how do you know about the conflict of interest?
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: It's the law!
AGIM BINAJ: Hey, sir, you're not with them.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: That's irrelevant.
AGIM BINAJ: He just stated that my father has an accounting office, with income of up to 8 million lek. Please, I've seen this.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Even the senior manager has, that is, declares a conflict of interest. I have caught the law.
AGIM BINAJ: It's up to 10 million, sir.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Let's see now.
AGIM BINAJ: Up to 10 million, man, look at it. Up to 10 million, I agree with you. This job is over. I solved it.
If it was over 10 million, then I had a conflict of interest, I was forced to sell the office and move somewhere else. That's gone.
You know, this is verified because I have verified everything before you. Okay, this chapter is closed.
Now the problem arises, let's come to the first one, to this company that the boy was a shareholder of and that sold the shares to his colleague Laura, I have 2% here (referring to the company TPA Albania), to this Austrian. Sir, I do not have a controlling stake, I have 2% as a shareholder and I do not exercise auditing functions, I am not even an administrator.
AGIM BINAJ: To find out, read the law on conflict of interest.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: There you go, I read it.
AGIM BINAJ: Open the point to the end, which means up to 10 million lek.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Ore is a titular, one who names people.
AGIM BINAJ: Yes, let it be! It is a title and it will be called a conflict of interest when I achieve a turnover or an income of over 10 million lek. It's over because I clarified this very point that otherwise I would have closed it since the boy was appointed. But this point excludes me and I clarified this. Open the law up to 10 million lek is called a conflict of interest. Dear, let you be a deputy, let you be a minister.
The Minister of Finance has the same thing with his father.
Mr. Binaj himself admits that when the company has an annual turnover of over 10 million lekë it is not allowed, but he refers to the company “ASC CPAs” while ignoring the fact that the other company, “TPA Albania” shpk has an annual turnover of over 10 million lekë. Despite this violation, the amended Tax Procedures Law prohibits the Chief Tax Officer Binaj from exercising his duties while his family members have auditing companies. The arguments of the lawyer Doku would also bring irritation to Professor Binaj since the former Director of Taxes would reveal violations related to the time that the Chief Tax Officer Binaj was in office.

AV. MUHARREM DOKU: I'm leaving the Bible.
AGIM BINAJ: And the Bible, the Bible, the Bible, do you want me to read it?
AGIM BINAJ: I want you to read it. Now listen to me if you are willing.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Uh-huh.
AGIM BINAJ: Now, if you have the will, give me the will of my son.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Now these are the forms…
AGIM BINAJ: Please, listen to me, I'm not convincing you.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Once again, these are forms of threats you are making to me.
AGIM BINAJ: No, I'm not threatening at all.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: You're telling me "You'll break my head."
AGIM BINAJ: You're going to break it because you have a bad mind.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Do I have it?
AGIM BINAJ: Why do you have it?
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Because…
AGIM BINAJ: That he accuses the honest man.
AGIM BINAJ: If you have evidence, accuse Ceno Klosin. What business do you have with me?
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: What do I have to do with you?
AGIM BINAJ: Yes, you wrote it!
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: I didn't write it. And maybe don't shout, man. Where did you get it?
AGIM BINAJ: There is a newspaper.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: But take it to court.
AGIM BINAJ: There's no need.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: But take it to court.
AGIM BINAJ: I know the person involved.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: You're going to sue me...
AGIM BINAJ: Me to you?
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Now don't make me lose my temper, you're yelling at me. You're threatening me!
AGIM BINAJ: I have the tone.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: You're threatening me!
AGIM BINAJ: I didn't even threaten you.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: You'll break my head, you said.
AGIM BINAJ: Are you going to break that...
THIRD PERSON: He said it as an expression.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Yes, some.
AGIM BINAJ: Because they are honest people, that's why you'll break your head.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Hey sir, you said he came as a patriot (referring to the head of the tax office, Ilir Binaj, who came from the USA).
AGIM BINAJ: But he came as a patriot.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Leave these alone, leave them alone.
...
AGIM BINAJ: And remember what I'm telling you.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: What's my business?
AGIM BINAJ: Listen, lip.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: It's his job, what he does...
AGIM BINAJ: Listen to yourself, I don't give a damn.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: I can't hear you at all.
AGIM BINAJ: You know I don't give a damn. I just wanted to get to know the person who accused me, that's all.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: I didn't accuse you, man.
AGIM BINAJ: Yes, you accused me in the newspaper.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Take me to court if I have accused you.
AGIM BINAJ: Listen to me, I don't deal with gossip.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: I'm not a scoundrel.
AGIM BINAJ: Will you listen to me and finally leave?
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Oh Lord, I am not a langaraq. You are calling me a langaraq, I am not a langaraq.
AGIM BINAJ: All those who write in vain are fools.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: Me too?!
AGIM BINAJ: I'm not including you, maybe it's not you, but the others. But you wrote it there.
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: And am I being lazy?
AGIM BINAJ: And it says according to…
AV. MUHARREM DOKU: And I'm a langaraq?
AGIM BINAJ: "I don't know, time will tell."
