The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who has been in Durrës detention since February 12, 2025, after his arrest on February 10 for the criminal offenses of passive corruption and laundering of the proceeds of crime, has left no stone unturned in his conversations with his wife Xoxa and brother Arbër Veliaj to save himself.
This is evidenced by the wiretaps that CNA has been publishing for five days. The file reveals that the mayor is using his clans within the Socialist Party and in the media to influence the court's decision through positions, commissioned articles in the media, blackmail, and even to prevent his transfer to the Penitentiary Institution in Tirana.
Veliaj, in his conversation with Arbër Veliaj, asks the latter to have the support of the "editor" regarding the media campaign they have undertaken. Arbër Veliaj confirms that they have been told that they have the support.
Veliaj goes even further when he treats the people around him like soldiers.
"In the conversation at 10:41 with his brother, Erion asks Arbri to talk to Mero and everyone else so that it should not be perceived that they have finally given up," the intercepts available to CNA state.

Veliaj mentions a person named Fatmir who is thought to be Xhafaj whom he considers part of his army.
"Erion says: Talk to Fatmir and the others, the whole army."
For Erion Veliaj, those who must keep the morale of the crowd high and who must support it publicly or "underground" with behind-the-scenes intrigues are "soldiers "./ CNA
