The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, immersed in the scandals of his directors, has tried to clean his image by making propaganda in the media.
The pro-mayor Erion Veliaj propaganda scheme seems to have its tentacles extended to private businesses managed by Arbër Veliaj.
One case is that of "One Albania", whose marketing is managed by Arbër Veliaj's "Gogel" company.
" One Albania", on September 20, 2024, won a tender from the Municipality of Tirana with the object "Service for dedicated optical infrastructure and data services". ( Read here )
The limit fund of the tender was ALL 74 398 398, while "One Albania" won with the value of ALL 68 774 075.

"Open Data" has evaluated this tender with a "Red Flag", which is a sign of the risk of corruption, to the exclusion of other competing companies.
Despite the fact that 5 other companies participated in the tender, the winner was "One Albania", which is managed by the mayor's brother.
This is actually a strong proof for SPAK, for the property investigation of Veliaj and his family members, how the octopus scheme with tentacles works for the distribution of funds, where the municipality headed by Erion Veliaj gives the tender to the company "One", and which manages marketing worth millions of euros through the "Gogel" company of the mayor's brother.

This is the same as in the classic schemes of service and corruption, because it is quite clear, Veliaj gives the company "One" the tender, the company "One" gives advertisements to Arbë Veliaj.
The latter distributes advertisements according to his brother's interests, feeding them with money from private companies, for pro-mayor propaganda , not to talk about the mayor's scandals, not to talk about incinerators, not to talk about the file " 5D", not to talk about the protests in front of the Municipality of Tirana, but to do paid advocacy.

One hand washes the other, both wash the face.

So, Arbër Veliaj pays the media, he receives the money from the Municipality of Tirana for the companies he manages and the media shut up. ( Read here )
And this is not the only case that the mayor uses public funds, uses money for public services, passing it through companies, businesses connected to him and close to him, as CNA has denounced before, that go to the service of propaganda of Veliaj himself, the troubles and problems he has, which he seeks to solve by paying the media through third parties, directly or indirectly, and this is the most classic fact, published today by CNA./ CNA
