The concessionaire company of the Tirana incinerator, or their owners hidden behind Dutch papers, appear to have paid tens of millions of euros to journalists, anonymous portals, media and propaganda, partnering with them, when in fact it was a monopoly company and as it should be of no kind advertisement.

The media payment scheme is clearly an organized and directed structure for propaganda, blackmail, defamation, attacks and accusations, not only against SPAK prosecutors, but also against political and media figures who denounced the affair of the century./ CNA
