NAME/ She set herself a salary of 15 thousand euros per month, the director of "IdentiTek" is dismissed!

Loina Prifti has been dismissed from her position as the director of " IdentiTek ", the state-owned company producing biometric passports and identity cards, only a year and a half after taking this position.

She was dismissed from her position by order of the Minister of the Interior, Ervin Hoxha, after a few weeks ago the Ministry of the Interior had sent an audit group to "IdentiTek".

According to the data, a number of violations in the management of funds and legal practices for the storage of sensitive data have been found. For the latter, other institutions in the country have even been notified.

"Lapsi.al" writes that the "super director" even gave herself a salary of 15,000 euros per month. Along with her, her subordinates were also fired, who are suspected of abusing the management of the state company.

Loina Prifti previously worked in Germany, where according to the former Minister of the Interior, Bledi Çuci, she worked in the field of Artificial Intelligence. The priest was then quietly appointed to the head of the company, where there was no presentation ceremony for him. Shortly after she took office, many professionals who had worked there for 15 years were laid off. According to "Lapsi.al", the former director also allowed unauthorized persons to enter the institution, which is strictly prohibited in the company's regulations, thus committing a violation of the law.

The people she hired, after the dismissal of the previous workers, were through her acquaintances, mainly with different clans in Durrës, where the Priest himself came from.

Even the director in charge of IT is the wife of Loina Prifti's first cousin. Eda Harizaj, the director of Human Resources is also a close relation of hers.

Harizaj himself hired a first cousin in an important position at "IdentiTek". In the key positions of the company, people who have family ties with the Priest are named at the top.

Also, in various tenders it has often been denounced that Loina Prifti has assigned herself a salary of 15 thousand euros per month, in addition, one of the tenders that raises the most doubts is the one worth 1 million euros for the internet service.

It is expected that the final audit report of the Ministry of the Interior will reveal other abuses committed by Loina Prifti and her subordinate in the "IdentiTek" company.

While the report is expected to reveal whether the sensitive biometric data stored by the company has been compromised.

Likewise, a few months ago there was also the scandal of tampering with the TIMS system data, an event that is being investigated by the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana.

It has not yet been announced whether an investigation has been launched by the justice institutions for this investigation, or whether it will end only with her dismissal.
