More threads revealed/ Why Veliaj's "kamikaze", Ermir Beta in

Erion Veliaj

Ermir Beta is the lawyer of Arben Rakipi's law firm, a firm denounced for the connections of the director of the School of Magistrates, Arben Rakipi, with the mayor arrested for money laundering and corruption, Erion Veliaj, and his wife Ajola Xoxa.

Ermir Beta is the person who defends Mayor Erion Veliaj with underground political scenarios.

The preparation of letters to the ILD and KLP made by Ermir Beta and the introduction of political lines to intimidate members of the KLP or ILD with actions to hit prosecutor Ols Dado, more than the movements of a lawyer or a law firm, are tactics that someone could consider corrupt mafia actions, when politics rushes into the justice system to protect a corrupt person, accused of laundering the proceeds of a criminal offense, corruption and concealing assets.

Today we will bring another detail about Ermir Beta and how he withdrew from the vetting in panic.

Ermir Beta was a prosecutor in Berat, but in 2018 he retired from the justice system in time, thus escaping the vetting process.

He was appointed prosecutor in the Berat Judicial District Prosecutor's Office, by Presidential decree dated November 6, 2008. At the time, it was reported that during the exercise of his duties, Mr. Beta was found guilty of violations and a punitive measure was also taken against him in 2013.

He was accused of having had contact with the father of an arrested person and giving instructions on the case he was investigating. This incident is related to the former head of the Kuçova Police, Enton Softa, who was accused by the prosecution in 2013 for corrupt affairs in the Berat Prosecution Office.

The latter was suspected of having demanded 800,000 lek from the father of an arrested person in the period March-April 2013, promising to intervene with the prosecutor in the case, Ermir Beta, to release his son.

He was arrested with 800 thousand lek on him, which he was suspected of handing over to the decision-makers in the case. P

Following this incident, the General Prosecutor's Office decided to take disciplinary action against Ermir Beta, demoting him because he had interfered in the investigation process.

So, Veliaj's lawyer seems to have withdrawn from the vetting at that time to escape suspicions of being involved in corruption affairs./ CNA
