Veliaj's friend's sister manages the Italian "MP"'s

Lorenzo Grassini and Roberto Berardi, two senators from the Forza Italia group, were not allowed to visit Mayor Erion Veliaj the day before.

"We are in Durrës, together with MP Berardi, to meet with the mayor of Tirana, to see his conditions in prison. At this moment he is isolated inside this building."

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to enter. They reserved us a very polite reception, but the order is not to allow anyone else to enter, except family members. Unfortunately, as has happened here, in Italy, detention has become a problem, because many political people are imprisoned in advance, to reach some solutions that today, do not work out for us. "Forza Italia" is always in favor of the guarantee.

So, in favor of whoever will have to prove, until the great final judgment, his innocence. We will see how it goes. Of course, this course that is taking place today is very similar to ours, during the Tangentopoli period. We hope that Albania will not go through such a dark situation”, said Lorenzo Grassini.

The Italian MP's ties to Erion Veliaj.

According to a complaint received by the CNA editorial office, the sister of Mayor Erion Veliaj's friend, Marsela Bushi, manages the businesses of Italian MP Lorenzo Grassini in Tirana.

This document shows that Grassini has given Marsela Bushi, the sister of Ermal Bushi, Veliaj's friend, authorization for the necessary actions to submit the 2022 financial statements.

Also, according to a complaint by MP Ina Zhupa, it turns out that Veliaj, through negotiation without advertising, gave Ermal Bushi 120 thousand euros for medical materials to protect against Covid 19, violating the technical criteria of having 3 years of experience.

Zhupa emphasized at the time that Bush's friendship with Veliaj's directors had made it easier for him to benefit from public money. These connections also clearly show the Italian MP's ties to Mayor Erion Veliaj, as he has long employed friends close to Mayor Erion Veliaj./ CNA
