The media reported that Erion Veliaj's lobbying studio was paid about 220 thousand dollars to write articles, make reports, e-mails and meetings to attack the justice system, mainly directly against SPAK. The object of the attacks was Ols Dado, the prosecutor, who together with Altin Duman investigated Erion Veliaj's file. We are not going to go into the frauds that are written from Erion Veliaj's e-mails, since the story of the famous Griselda of Kavaja is already known, but let's remember it a little as an event.
At that time, in 2011, an event occurred. The news spread widely in the media and all the international media, that the wife of the mayor of Kavaja had been kidnapped, raped and the child had been taken away, a macabre crime. E-mails were sent, reports were sent to Brussels, everywhere, and the e-mails were sent by Erion Veliaj. The event turned out to be a manipulation. Erion used Edi Rama and Elvis Roshi's house at that time, about the macabre event that had occurred.
It turned out that it was a fraud, a fabrication, like what Erion Veliaj is doing today, taking it to American senators, supposedly for the allowances requested by prosecutor Ols Dado, which in fact include the allowance and the mayor's refusal, we have been requesting for 150 days, but it is not being published.
The person who paid the money is Arbër Veliaj. Arbër Veliaj is under investigation by SPAK. He has also admitted it publicly.
The question is simple. Where does this money come from? What is its source?
Is it money from companies, like "One" for example, that pays Arbër Veliaj millions of euros for advertising, and on the other hand the company benefits from the Municipality of Tirana? It wins tenders, its officials get street names, etc.
Are there other sources of money that come from the use of Tirana Municipality assets with the permission of Mayor Erion Veliaj? Such as, for example, the use of public municipal properties for various events, for advertising, for use by third parties that then pass through Arbër Veliaj?
Because the brother of the mayor of Tirana took over a company in 2015 that had almost no turnover and today it has a turnover of millions of euros. Where did this huge growth come from to make Google one of the most important companies in the country? Which also took over the country's largest advertisers, powerful companies, which were directly or indirectly related to the mayor of Tirana.
So, it's simple where these 220 thousand dollars come from. From the office of the Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who directly or indirectly through the position he has held, has channeled money to his brother, as we emphasized, both through large companies as we mentioned in the case of "One", and through the leasing of public spaces to third parties and the use of surface area or the use of advertisements with very low values, unlike the public reality that everyone has seen.
And these come from the position that Erion Veliaj has held. So he was not only the mayor of his wife, he was also the mayor of his brother. Even today, with the money he has earned over the years, he lobbies in the US, 220 thousand dollars, and pays against SPAK to lobby the State Department, Senate and other international institutions. / CNA
