Denunciation: The group that trafficked 50 tons of cocaine bought over 15

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, denounced today what he described as another scandal in the country.

In a press conference, Berisha said that a criminal group, responsible for trafficking 50 tons of cocaine during 2020-2021 alone, is responsible for money laundering in Albania.

Berisha also shared specific names, while specifying that it is about money laundering mainly in the field of construction and tourism, which bought over 15 thousand square meters of land in Jale for 54 thousand euros.

"The latest crackdown on the Dritan Gjika, Eldi Dizdari, Shpëtim Aliu group has led to the confiscation of a multitude of assets and companies, mainly in the fields of construction and tourism, that were used to launder drug money.

At the head of the money laundering was Isa Aliu, the brother of Salvador, Shpëtim, the central figure supplying the Dizdari-Gjika group, responsible for trafficking 50 tons of cocaine during 2020-2021 alone.

But now you will be introduced to the new surprise of Edi Rama's narco-state.

Among the seized properties, among others, the seizure of properties belonging to a construction project that was being developed in the Vunoi area stands out.

You mean Vunoi, it's not Surreli, it's Vunoi, or let's say Edvin and Uncle Koleka's village.

All real rights to the real estate acquired by the entities Seaview Development and Aliu Road House through the notarial deed of completion of works for the construction of the Zig-Zag hotel, with five stars and over 200 rooms, in Jalë, Himara, for which the Navalno Group company has taken over the co-financing of 40 percent and the construction permit from AZHT, it is stated in the announcement made by SPAK for this hotel.

Our research shows that Seaview Development is a subsidiary of the Aliu Road House company and applied for a building permit at the AZHT on April 29 of this year and was 41st on the discussion list.

Building permit for the five-star Iberostar Resort hotel building, with one, two, three and four floors above ground and one to five floors above ground, located in Jalë, Himara Municipality, with the developer Seaview Development company.

But what stands out is that the land that Isa Ali bought on the seashore in Jalë is at extremely low, ridiculous prices.

Isa Aliu purchased this area of ??cadastral land with an area of ??15 thousand square meters for only 6 million new lekë, or at the current exchange rate, he purchased it for a total of 54 thousand euros.

It costs 3-4 euros per square meter.

Namely, property number 3614, 4400 square meters, cadastral area 3844 was purchased for 1 million 760 thousand lek.

Property number 33615, 4200 square meters, cadastral area 3844 was purchased for 1 million 680 thousand lek.

Property number 33616, 6600 square meters, cadastral area 3844 was purchased for 2 million 560 thousand lek.

So, as you can see, almost a total of 15 thousand square meters of land purchased for only 400 liras per square meter or 3.2 euros per square meter.

"Look where the land was bought for 3.2 euros," Berisha said. /CNA
