A lawsuit in SPAK could send the former Minister of Economy and Finance, Anila Denaj, who already holds the position of Minister of Agriculture, to prison.

It is about the lawsuit related to the benefit of the state property 4021.5 m² in the former Department of Clocks, in Tirana, by the publisher of Rilindah Carlo Bollino.

In the lawsuit of the Democratic Party, submitted yesterday to SPAK, 10 criminal charges are listed and one of the persons charged is the former minister.

According to the lawsuit uncovered by CNA, the Ministry of Finance, which was headed by Anila Denaj, announced the winner of the lease for state property Carlo Bollino in July 2019.

Afterwards, Denaj proposed to the Council of Ministers that Rama's servant publisher should not pay 6,300 euros in rent, but benefit from it with only 1 euro, and in October her proposal was accepted.

The government, with several VKM one after the other, gave Bollino the right to lease the 2nd floor of the building, then decided that the building would be demolished and finally changed the object of the lease contract, while no building of the state landlord already existed.

In order to cover the misuse of public property, according to the report of the DP, the Council of Ministers invested again to complete the regulatory acts, in the conditions when the leasing facility no longer existed.

"Specifically, with the proposal of Mrs. Anila Denaj, the Council of Ministers approves VKM no. 589 dated 22.07.2020, through which Article 2 of the lease contract is amended.

So Article 2 "Purpose of Use" and point 5.7 of Article 5 "Rights and obligations of the lessee", the words "total reconstruction" are replaced with "minimum reconstruction of the total", says page 10 of the lawsuit.

The next procedure is the handover of the property from the Industrial Enterprise on 06.05.2019, but the decision on leasing had not yet been issued by the Ministry of Finance.

In the lawsuit, it is emphasized that "at the request of Minister Denaj, the Industrial Enterprise was forced to change the dates and protocol of the decision of the Governing Council".

According to the report, during the period March-May 2020, Industrial Enterprise No. 1 and the Ministry of Finance and Economy have undertaken several actions to put out of use the buildings rented by the company "MTSC", owned by Bollino.

On June 10, 2020, Denaj asks the Territorial Development Agency to grant a building permit to Bollino, in order to build the television building on the acquired property.

In the lawsuit it is emphasized that: "The Ministry of Finance and Economy, AZHT and the entity "MTSC" have collaborated BETWEEN THEM, to advertise untrue facts and circumstances, with the aim of falsifying documentation, to justify not only completing the file to be equipped with construction permit, but to achieve the criminal and main purpose, the benefit from Carlo Bollinos, of state land property."

Based on the facts mentioned above, the Democrats sued the former Minister of Finance, putting her at risk of prison.

If SPAK's investigations prove the accusations of the Democratic Party, then Denaj will most likely not be able to escape the handcuffs.

This is because the former Minister of Finance can be accused of "abuse of duty", "falsification of documents", violation of the basic rights of participants in tenders and public auctions", and many others.

This lawsuit is now in the hands of SPAK and it remains for this institution if it will bring Denaj and other officials and former officials of Rilindja to justice for Rama's media servant, Carlo Bollino./ CNA
