"Veliaj, the most corrupt mayor"/ Shehaj: He won't leave

The leader of the Opportunity Party, Agron Shehaj, said from the parliament's rostrum that many of the leaders of municipalities in the country are corrupt. Shehaj said that the most corrupt is the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj.

The latter, according to the MP, does not leave his chair even though he has been in prison for almost a year, because he still wants to steal. He also mentioned Erion Isai, Benet Beci, and Eriselda Sefa as corrupt mayors.

"The municipalities are a bunch of corrupt people, according to SPAK. The most corrupt person is Erion Veliaj, almost a year in prison and continues to remain in office and does not move from his chair. Despite being sent to prison. They do not move because they want to steal. There are Erion Isai, Benet Beci, Eriselda Sefa, etc. There are endless mayors who want to steal ," he said.

Shehaj further added in a response to the leader of the SP group, Taulant Balla, that he is concerned due to an investigation in which his name is mentioned.

"Taulant Balla gave a performance, which after insulting with stale language, he distributed to all media: "Taulant Balla" insulted Agron Shehaj". He is worried because yesterday a decision was made on a case that concerns him. The appeal decided that the case should be investigated from the beginning because we should consider it a criminal organization because Taulant Balla's name is there", said Shehaj. /CNA
