Irfan Hysenbelliu, the fraudster who seeks to oppose the state

Irfan Hysenbelliu is a businessman that we call "Irfan the fraudster". Maybe someone could say that we should provide evidence and facts. Yes, we have the evidence and facts.

The Korça Beer Festival, that is, the festival of its beer, not the festival of the city of Korça, where there are dozens and dozens of participating breweries.

Elbari is participating, Heineken is participating, Birra Peja is participating, many beers are participating. It is not the Korça Beer Festival of Irfan Hysenbelliu, this incorrigible fraudster, who tried a few years ago to sabotage and cancel the Korça Beer Festival. He boycotted it, deceived the municipality until the last days and then did not sign a contract, did not participate.

He would take out his television, tell a thousand and one lies, that the citizens were boycotting the celebration, that foreign singers would come, and that the fraudster Irfan would supposedly preserve the tradition.

Hostage taking at Prestige Resort

However, beyond this unrepeatable fraudster, we have another fact, one related to the incident reported by the police yesterday at the Prestige Resort.

Where Irfan Hysenbelliu had built without permission, where he had taken the sand and built the swimming pools that collapsed. Even then he lied about the investment he had made. He went so far as to shamelessly publicly slander the bread his people had eaten, or the invitation he had given them. And he had to build without permission because Edi Rama or Taulant Balla had laid out, had lunch and he had the right to occupy the sand, the swimming pools on the shore, nor did he usurp it.

Is it that the owner of Golem is Irfan Hysenbelliu, whose properties in Skrapar are unknown? This fraudster who does not pay taxes and engages in tax evasion. Wasn't Irfan Hysenbelliu caught at Birra Korça when they checked his truck that had a larger quantity of beer than the invoice? The one who doesn't pay taxes, who sends him a letter and says, pay the obligations and debts you have like everyone else. But Irfan the fraudster does not accept, attacks, curses and threatens the tax collectors for years.

This fraudster, who doesn't have the courage to speak out against Edi Rama, but says that Belinda Balluku has fallen on his neck. Edi Rama wants this, but Belinda Balluku has "seen" us, Irfan the fraudster.

Meanwhile, recently, taxes went into his business again. The Task Force went to hundreds and hundreds of entities and businesses during the summer that operate during the tourist season. It goes, checks invoices, prices and declarations that are made to the state.

Because there are thousands of people at Irfan's resort who declare less money, less income, which means the state receives less taxes. And the tax collectors didn't just go to Irfan, but there was a lot of noise about Irfan.

While Tax employees stated that they took them hostage and locked them in a room, this fraudster revealed the moment the inspectors entered.

Irfan against the state

Taxes should not go to the fraudster Irfan, because Irfan is the state, no, in fact Irfan is against the state. Irfan does not pay his suppliers and delays his breadwinners for months, hundreds of days.

Irfan is drowning in debt, with the banks. Maybe he decided that rather than drown in a basin of debt, he would drown in an ocean of debt. That's how he negotiated with them and forgave the percentages, lowered the interest and reduced the obligations. That's what Irfan Hysenbelliu wants to do with the state. To stay and not pay taxes. Not to pay insurance to journalists, to delay their salaries by two to three months.

Don't pay your taxes. And when your taxes go to be checked as a risky entity, because you have millions and millions of euros in debts, Irfan Hysenbelliu jumps. Irfan Hysenbelliu has come out against the state. He won't pay the tax. He lies, he cheats with his debts. He has done this with private individuals, he has also done it with loans, as we said above.

What is Irfan Hysenbelliu hiding?

The visit of taxes and inspectors to Irfan Hysenbelliu's resort is a task that the Task Force does in every business. But Fania screams and screams, she will not hand over the computers. What is the problem with these computers, what do they hide inside that Irfan will not hand over? Could it be that those computers are hiding something else? Do they show the real turnover that Irfan has in businesses and not what he declares? Could it be that there are programs where fiscal invoices are not received and other parallel invoices are printed to reduce the turnover and not declare?

If this Irfan was so honest and fair, he would give the computers to the tax authorities. They went to dozens of businesses, took the computers and returned them. They saw that there were no duplicate programs, the declarations were in order and let them continue working.

Yes, Irfani is hiding. That's why he doesn't hand over those computers. If there were no problems, why didn't he give the computers to the tax authorities? A phone call away, in three minutes the company that installs the fiscal programs arrives with a new computer and continues the work. The work is not hindered either and the state officials carry out their duties. But Irfani faces the state. Not that he is someone who is supporting the protests.

Don't cry for him, because he is the man and close friend of Erion Veliaj and Ilir Meta. Neither with Ilir Meta, nor with Sali Berisha, nor with Edi Rama. As with Lulzim Basha. Rama came to power, "there is no one like Rama, long live Rama". And now, "there is no one like Veliaj, long live Veliaj" even though he is in prison.

Here, this is Irfan Hysenbelliu or Irfan the fraudster as we call him, who goes against the state because the state tells him to pay taxes, pay taxes and duties. And in a banal, ordinary way, he uses his media for corrupt and scandalous purposes, to protect Erion Veliaj, or to attack tax officials for inspecting businesses in accordance with the law and demanding that they pay taxes.

They are attacked by name and surname, men and women, inspectors and directors. Because they have committed a "crime" in their lives, they have gone to check on the fraudster Irfan.

Irfan Hysenbelliu should be controlled more than any other business. Because he was caught not paying taxes and was caught defrauding the state. And moreover, he should not be left simply with official procedures for debt collection, but should be brought to justice and prosecuted and take legal responsibility . Not to send him a few letters and close the prosecutors who want to be punished, because they are afraid that Irfan will attack them on television.

Irfan has come out against the state. The state has no reason to come out against Irfan. The state simply demands accountability to pay taxes. And anyone else who defends Irfan, don't think they love this fraud who owns the media so much. But they want to have the media space and nothing more than that. /CNA

New details have emerged from the scandal involving Irfan Hysenbelliu's 'Prestige' resort, where the administrator and four employees held four tax officials from the General Directorate of Taxes hostage.

CNA has learned that Tax inspectors have visited this entity for an inspection, which is carried out frequently during the summer tourist season in hotels, resorts and other entities with high activity during this period.

Tax inspectors suspected that this entity had problems with declarations, data hiding, and double balance sheets.

For this reason, they have requested the seizure of computers.

At this moment, the taxmen have fiercely confronted Irfan Hysenbelliu's men, who have held the employees hostage for about an hour.

According to the Police, the arrested citizens are Sajmir Ndrecaj, 34 years old, administrator of the resort, and employees: Zaho Jaçaj, security chief Artan Kasa, and 2 security employees Hamid Sula and Bujar Agolli.

According to the police, these citizens were arrested after it is suspected that, in collaboration with each other, on 18.07.2026, they obstructed and kept locked up, for a considerable time, within the premises of a resort in Golem, employees of the Task Force of the General Directorate of Taxes, who were performing their duties.

Irfan Hysenbelliu is known as a "problematic businessman" for tax authorities, as he does not pay taxes and obligations to the state.

For some time now, Hysenbelliu had also launched a battle and campaign of attacks against Tax officials, who demanded that he pay his obligations like any other businessman or taxpayer in accordance with the law. /CNA

Irfan Hysenbelliu's Prestige Resort has been embroiled in a scandal.

Administrator Saimir Ndrecaj and 4 employees of the Prestige resort have held hostage 4 employees of the Task Force of the General Directorate of Taxes.

According to the Police, the arrested citizens are Sajmir Ndrecaj, 34 years old, administrator of the resort, and employees: Zaho Jaçaj, security chief Artan Kasa, and 2 security employees Hamid Sula and Bujar Agolli.

According to the police, these citizens were arrested after it is suspected that, in collaboration with each other, on 18.07.2026, they obstructed and kept locked up, for a considerable time, within the premises of a resort in Golem, employees of the Task Force of the General Directorate of Taxes, who were performing their duties.

This is a scandal in which administrator Sajmir Ndrecaj and employees of Irfan Hysenbelliu's Prestige resort have held Tax officials hostage.

We recall that Irfan Hysenbelliu is a "problematic businessman" for tax authorities, especially since he does not pay taxes and obligations to the state.

Hysenbelliu had long since launched a battle, a campaign of attacks against Tax officials who demanded that he pay his taxes like any other businessman or taxpayer. / CNA

Irfan Hysenbelliu claims to be a big businessman, an honest businessman, but in fact he is a businessman who does not pay taxes, drowning in debt and a businessman who attacks institutions every time they go for inspections in accordance with the law.

He is the man who has been caught in illegal constructions, scandals, denounced on dozens of occasions, the man who personalizes the Beer Festival in Korça for his personal interests.

This man has been terrorizing the Tirana Tax Directorate for some time. It is not difficult to understand. It is a strategy.

Irfan Hysenbelliu is attacking the Tirana Taxes because this institution asks him to pay his obligations. Because the Taxes conduct inspections, as they issued a notice, in entities and Irfani results in deeds and misfortunes.

It doesn't matter whether the Taxes provide official information or not, which should tell Albanians why they are being attacked by this public fraudster, because people are clear, they know very well who Irfan Hysenbelliu is.

But what is happening is almost criminal. The leaders of the Taxes of Tirana are being attacked to exercise terror over their subordinates, over tax inspectors, experts, who should go and inspect businesses.

But Irfan attacks them, accuses them because by attacking the leaders, terror is also exercised over the subordinates, so that they are afraid and do not comply with the law, so that they are afraid to listen to Irfan, who asks them not to pay taxes, to hide their income and to commit tax evasion.

This is the truth of the fraudster Irfan Hysenbelliu, whose heart is supposedly burning publicly and he is giving a live protest, but in fact he has a different problem. He has to bargain with Edi Rama to get rid of his tax debts or the fines imposed by this institution. /CNA
