National Bureau of Investigation agents have conducted searches today at the offices of businessman Rais Petrela. According to information, BKH agents are currently in the office where the businessman himself is present.
Rais Petrela's name came up on the "Plug" show on Syri TV, where it was reported that the publisher of Shqiptarja.com and Report TV, Carlo Bollino, had the role of broker of tenders that this businessman benefited from. According to "Plug", this was discovered in the wiretaps of conversations with the former head of the Albanian Anti-Corruption Agency, Evis Berberi.
More specifically, the show stated that the company that won the tender for supervision of maintenance works on the main road axes, from which Carlo Bollino had not received his share, was Rais Petrela's Archi Space.
According to Plug, this is a character known for his closeness to Erion Veliaj, the mayor of Tirana, with whom even Carlo Bollino himself has not hidden his close friendship and cooperation.
Excerpt from the show "Plug":
From the verifications carried out, it turns out that the company that benefited from the tender, from which Carlo Bollino had not received his share, is Archi Space of Rais Petrela, a character known for his closeness to Erion Veliaj, the mayor of Tirana, with whom Carlo Bollino himself has not hidden his close friendship and cooperation. From the way he shows it in these interceptions, Carlo Bollino plays the role of a tender broker. But the situation becomes even more serious for the way these funds are distributed for capturing the media, since in the interception it turns out that they are distributed even with the intervention of Prime Minister Edi Rama himself. For this fact, the evidence is Belinda Balluku's communications with Evis Berberi, where they clearly state that for the tenders for the supervision of the Ring Road lots, the beneficiaries have agreed with Prime Minister Edi Rama, where as it was proven one of them is Carlo Bollino.
After the above conversation, Belinda Ballu continues the conversation with Evis Berberi about the open tenders for the supervision of maintenance works of the Ring Road Lots.
Belinda Balluku: "You have a maintenance supervision"
Evis Berberi: "Yes."
"Plug" published that after confirmation, Balluku also sends a photo from the electronic procurement system, which lists the procurement procedures published by the Albanian Road Authority on 17.03.2022, and specifically:
Lot 4: Contract D “Supervision of maintenance works with performance of the main axes of the Southern region”;
Lot 3: Contract C “Supervision of maintenance works with performance of the main axes of the Central and Southeastern region”;
Lot 2: Contract B “Supervision of maintenance works with performance of the main axes of the Central and Northeastern region”;
Lot 1: Contract A “Supervision of performance maintenance works of the main axes of the northern region”; as well as “Supervision for performance maintenance of road segments paved with Council Decision No. 600, dated 13.10.2021”.
Conversations between Belinda Balluku and Evis Berberi, published by the show "Plug"
Belinda Balluku: This is what he's talking about because he agreed with Rama. Secondly, why have you been doing this for 3 years? Because it's crazy. Deal with this because you're going to go crazy. Explain to that bitch that no new processes will be opened because finances don't allow it.
Evis Barber: Ok.
Belinda Balluku: What are these supervisions you have opened???
Evis Berberi: Yes, for three years. They are for maintenance.
Belinda Balluku: Do the maintenances have supervision? Did you open them? And I'll take this super k... because R promised it?"
Evis Berberi: Yes, my brother had a big one, I split it so you could fit more.
Belinda Balluku: I don't like it at all that I don't know what you do.
Evis Berberi: Who would you like?
Belinda Balluku: No, no
Evis Berberi: Come in thousands
As is clear from this communication, the payment for the old one was resolved, but according to what he shared with Prime Minister Edi Rama, a new tender was also resolved for Carlo Bollino, which journalist Flavio Qarri stated will be the subject of investigation in another episode of the show.
Belinda Balluku's messages prove that not only Report TV and Shqiptarja.com, but most media outlets, benefit from crime and corruption to serve the government.
In communications with Berber, Belinda Balluku reveals that the director of the ARRSH had only left the payments for Carlo Bollino in patronage, as the other directors paid for most of the media. /CNA
