Today, Adriatik Kupi was appointed head of the Prisons Directorate, succeeding Klevis Qose. But who is Adriatik Kupi? Previously, he held the position of director of the Distribution System Operator.
Previously, Kupi held the position of administrator of the Petrelë Administrative Unit, at a time when the Municipality of Tirana was under the leadership of Erion Veliaj, and participated in Veliaj's campaign.
After the news was published that Kupi would be director of the Prisons, Democratic MP Belind Këlliçi said in a reaction that Kupi was a loyal soldier of Veliaj.
This is something that is very easily verifiable. In a simple search on Adriatik Kupi's profile on "Facebook" you see that a few months ago he made a birthday wish for Mayor Veliaj. A post in which he describes the mayor accused of 5 serious criminal offenses as a righteous man.
Herein lies the paradox. A man who campaigned for Erion Veliaj was appointed Director General of Prisons, took over the position from Veliaj, and was even called by Kupi as a man of values ??and dignity.

Even Kupi, in his congratulations to his chairman, writes that justice will triumph. Justice that the chairman of Adriatik Kupi has been avoiding for more than a year, refusing to go to court and face the charges against him, but only finding machinations to postpone the trials.
What justice awaits Erion Veliaj? The one that Veliaj and his people attack from morning to night with all kinds of slander and deception, and even went so far as to deceive senators and congressmen with the lobbying paid for by Veliaj and his brother for the prosecutors in the case.
So the man who will run the institution where Veliaj is imprisoned is a former subordinate of his or perhaps still is. The man who was once rewarded by the mayor with positions and participated in his election campaigns is now set to run the prisons while Erion Veliaj is in prison with 13 charges for 5 serious criminal offenses.
This is a great paradox, which raises many questions about what could happen under the leadership of Adriatik Kupi in prisons or perhaps there could be favoritism for Erion Veliaj.../CNA
