Three television stations at the service of Veliaj for the attack on prosecutors

The mayor arrested for corruption and laundering of proceeds of crime, Erion Veliaj, has engaged a number of television stations to attack prosecutors and judges of the Criminal Court of Kosovo.

He has waged a media campaign from prison demanding that his news be broadcast, as well as attacks on prosecutors and judges.

Wiretaps conducted in Durrës prison confirm this. In these materials obtained by CNA, it is shown how Veliaj requested that his interviews with questions and answers drafted by him be broadcast on television screens such as "Top Channel", "Report TV" or "Euronews".

“TOP CHANNEL”

Veliaj composes his own questions and answers for Grida Duma's show. He even asks that they not mock him for being in prison and to take that into account before making fun of him in the studio.

"At 18:36, Erion Veliaj talks to his brother, Arbri, where they discuss the question-and-answer section. According to the communication, something happened and they didn't make it in time to do it. Likewise, Arbri tells him that they will appear at Grida's tonight for dinner where they will be with a question-and-answer session. Arbri asks Erion to do more questions-and-answers so that they won't be late tomorrow. According to the conversation, before the publication of the 'question-and-answer' Arbri receives another confirmation from someone who is not mentioned in the conversation. At 18:52, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, whom he asks to talk to Albin and the latter to talk to Visi and Lori, after he has given some answers to Grida about the show that will be aired today, and asks them not to make fun of him since he is in prison and to take that into account before making fun of him in the studio. Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him what happened with 'Top Channel' that the article about him was not published. Arbri tells him that it was negligence. Erion Veliaj tells him: "The message is being left once and for all and it is not being violated," according to the intercepts obtained by CNA.

“REPORT TV”

The same scheme was used for the interview on "Report TV", which he even called a super interview and requested that this interview be distributed to both the "Dita" and "Tema" newspapers.

At 16:21, Erion Veliaj talks to his brother Arbri, whom he asks to ask Karlo if he has received his answers for the show that will take place tonight at dinner. At 16:22, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, and the latter tells him that she spoke and said that they are getting the AI ??(artificial intelligence) ready. They have received the answers and 77 are getting it ready. Likewise, Ajola tells him that she asked him if he wanted to give an interview, but he said no. Erion asks him the same thing, to stay as far away as possible (meaning the interview). At 18:05, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola and asks him to talk to Albin from "Dita", because Geri Kokalari has done a super interview on "Report TV", and asks him to give priority to his interview. Erion tells him that his interview will be published by two or three newspapers, perhaps even "Tema". He asks him to talk to Mero and Albin about this. At 18:07, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri, where the latter tells him that "our friends" have told him to do the interview (conference) with all journalists, and for questions that they do not want to answer, it means that they cannot talk at this moment. Then, Erion Veliaj tells Arbri about Geri Kokalari's interview on "Report TV" and asks him to connect it with "Tema" and "Dita" (newspapers), so that they pay attention to it, since "Shqiptarja" will definitely do it. At 19:55, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him to make sure that Geri Kokalari's interview is distributed today to the newspapers "Dita", "Tema" and "Shqiptarja", and of course to the newspapers tomorrow as well. Likewise, he tells him that it is good that the Americans (American lawyers) are also informed about what is happening systematically. This, says Erion, should be a daily task. At 20:17, Erion Veliaj talks to Arbri and asks him if the Americans (lawyers) will arrive on the 11th (the date of the Appeals hearing). Arbri tells him that he is trying to contact them and that they will most likely be in Albania. Erion Veliaj also asks them to do an interview with "Top". Meanwhile, Arbri also informs him about the lawyers' conference, which has been scheduled for the next day at 14:00, "off camera" "on record", so that the journalists can produce the news themselves. Arbri tells him that the meeting will be called "an informational meeting with the Veliaj family lawyers". In the conversation, Erion Veliaj asks him to "keep the pressure on that Tuesday is unchangeable, so we have four days, 'three days to freedom'". He asks Arbri to "tell them to get out of here with a dog and a cat who is following things". At 20:30, Erion Veliaj talks to his wife, Ajola, whom he asks to "Tell them to spread the word as much as possible and keep the pressure on that these four days are crucial" "That is, either leave these four days, or stay here for another four months. Then the Supreme Court. After the Elections." "That is why it is 'vital'."These four days are crucial."

"EURONEWS"

The same scheme was consequently used at "Euronews".

"At 18:53, Erion Veliaj talks to Ajola, to whom he tells her that at 19:00 he will appear in an interview on "Euronews", and that is why he often calls her at these times, since in the Penitentiary Institution they close the phones, turn them off and do not let them communicate. Erion tells her that this has also happened when he gave the interview to "Report TV" or "Top""/ CNA
