The leader of the DP for Tirana, Belind Këlliçi, has denounced this Monday the disappearance of public money outside Albania through the company of Klodian Zoto and the connections with the Italian mafia clan "Ndragheta".

Kelliçi said that Klodian Zoto's "ITS" paid 360,000 euros to Gëzim Guga, who has an entity in Italy and is a co-shareholder in another business with Ilir Dedja and Mirsada Guga.

He emphasized that the co-shareholder Dedja of Gëzim Guga, paid by Zoto, is connected to "Ndragheta".

In 2020, Italian prosecutors have sent their Albanian counterparts information that Ilir Dedja is suspected of laundering money for the mafia clan.

Kelliç's statement:

Today I will make public another case of the disappearance of money, but already outside Albania. According to the card of suppliers of the company 'ITS' sh.pk, owned by Klodian Zoto, 3 payments were made to an entity in Italy:

On 02.03.2021, the value is ALL 12,362,000

On 17.02.2021, the value is ALL 12,325,000

On 19.05.2021, the value is ALL 12,300,000

So in a total value of about 360,000 euros. This money has been transferred to the entity 'IMR REFTRATTARI SRL'.

From a simple check on 'Google', it turns out that this company is owned by an Albanian citizen, Mr. Joy Guga. This business on its official website states that it operates in the field of construction and advertises several villas and apartments for sale.

The group of experts in PD checked if this entrepreneur has any business registered in Albania in his name and during the check the situation becomes even more criminal.

According to the KKB, it turns out that in November 2022, Gëzim Guga, the beneficiary in Italy of payments from Klodian Zoto, together with Ilir Dedja and Mirsada Guga, registered the employment and consulting company MIG AGENCY shpk.

Let's stop a little at citizen Ilir Dedja.

In 2020, the Italian prosecutors have sent their Albanian counterparts, among other things, information about the citizen Ilir Dedja, born on 02.09.1969, for suspicions of laundering money for the mafia clan 'NDRAGHETA', as well as information that the citizen Klodian Zoto has been detained at the airport in Italy and 22,650 euros were seized.

Only after three years, on 14.02.2023, the Albanian side remembers to send a letter to the Italian prosecutor's office, as was made public by 'Syri TV' in May of the same year.

So even though these citizens were under investigation, the law enforcement bodies did not stop them from transferring significant amounts of money. And all this under the nose of SPAK, after we don't forget that the criminal proceedings for the incinerators were registered in 2020, the year in which the Italian prosecutors raised the alarm of suspicions about Dedja and Zoto.

Today SPAK must answer these questions:

1. Why were 360,000 euros transferred to Italy by Klodian Zoto?

2. Have they bought apartments in Italy with those funds?

3. Do those funds serve as tribute to the NDRANGHETA mafia clan?

4. Has SPAK withdrawn the file from the Tirana prosecutor's office?

5. Is the actual owner of the Tirana Incinerator, Erion Veliaj, being investigated for collaboration with the NDRANGHETA mafia clan, since this is not the first public fact that proves Veliaj's connections with the Italian Mafia?

SPAK should wake up immediately from its lethargic sleep, as it is not only dirtying itself, but the whole much-hoped-for justice reform.

Directed justice, sometimes with government directives and sometimes with municipal directives, is not the justice that Albanian citizens expect. While the Leader of the Opposition, Sali Berisha, continues to be in custody for 77 days without any evidence or a single charge, the de facto owner of the Tirana Incinerator Erion Veliaj, his thug directors who have stolen millions of euros through the 5D Construction company, the former Minister the thief of health concessions Ilir Beqja and of course the head of this structured criminal group Edi Rama, continue to steal and abuse the money of Albanian citizens and taxpayers every day.

This regimen should end one hour earlier. Technical government and free and fair elections are the only solution to free the country once and for all from this criminal organization.
