" 25.02.2025, At 11:59, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri, whom he asks to talk to Shqiptarja, with Tema, to do an interview every day and to produce materials for the portals. He then asks him to tell Karlo or Mira that if they ask him five questions, Erion will answer them and in this way they will do slightly longer interviews every two or three days, because there is no other way to cope with what is happening," the wiretapping file states .

Carlo Bollino is reflected in the file again on page 101, in the section of wiretaps that CNA has previously brought, but we are bringing them back to provide a more complete overview of Judge Engert Pëllumbi's reasoned decision.

06.03.2025. At 16:16, citizen Erion Veliaj talks to his wife, Ajola Xoxa, who, among other things, asks her to talk to Karlo and ask if she has received his answers for the show that will take place today. Ajola Xoxa informs her that she does not have Karlo's number, but Erion asks her "Yes, Alba, you do not have either Alba or Karlo". Ajola replies that she has Alba's number and will ask her. Erion also tells her that Renato can also give her Karlo's number", it is learned that there was a discussion between Veliaj and Xoxa.

Mero Base

Mero Baze, as one of Veliaj's most loyal collaborators, is mentioned most often both in the wiretaps and in the conclusions of Judge Pëllumbi. On page 94, he is mentioned together with Carlo Bollino.

" From the communications, it is noted that citizen Arbër Veliaj is directed by citizen under investigation Erion Veliaj to meet with journalists Carlo, Mero or even Mira in order for posts in his favor to be made more and more frequently ," the file states.

Mero is identified by Judge Pëllumbi in the wiretaps of Erion Veliaj, where the latter is rumored to be the person who should go to Justice Minister Manja to ask him not to transfer Veliaj to the Penitentiary Institution in Tirana.

"Efforts of the citizen under investigation Erjon Veliaj to the Minister of Justice, so that he is not transferred to another prison and avoids the checks that are carried out in the detention rooms. For this, the citizen under investigation talks with his wife and brother, to engage acquaintances, friends, comrades, citizens Mero and Gent Sula, who should request this from the Minister of Justice ," the file states.

CNA has documented other cases where Mero Baze is mentioned and you can read them here .

" Continues with the posting dated 16.02.2025, where the person under investigation sometimes uses offensive expressions towards prosecutor Ols Dado and in one case towards judge Erjon Bani. Finally, this report reflects an article by journalist Mero Baze, dated 28.02.2025, published in the "Tema" newspaper, entitled "Veliaj's ethical standards towards the prosecutor and the prosecutor's legal standards towards Veliaj, " the file states on page 104.
