Edi Rama/ Arjeta Puca/ Ron Yeffet

Ron Yeffet , the Israeli businessman who will have a monopoly on supplying the army and police with vehicles, entered the prime minister's office a day ago. Kapital was able to secure footage of the controversial businessman leaving the government building.

It is not known whether Yeffet met with Prime Minister Edi Rama. But during the time he was Prime Minister, Edi Rama was also in his office.

Meanwhile, shortly before Yeffet entered, the Minister of Defense, Pirro Vengu, was seen leaving the Prime Minister's Office, a sector where Yeffet already has billionaire interests.  

Ron Yeffet, known as a close friend of Edi Rama. The Israeli businessman who lives in the US, has already obtained Albanian citizenship.

He is said to be behind some of the most sensational plans launched by the prime minister, such as a new model in the fuel market.


Meanwhile, just two weeks ago, Yeffet took half of the army's vehicle monopoly for just 490 euros.

The acquisition of Timak

On June 17, a strange business transaction occurred.

Timak, a company that manufactures, converts and assembles metal and plastic structures in vehicles, sold 49 percent of its shares.

Timak is a company that has been heavily promoted by the government recently.

Its owner, Arjeta Puca, has been invited to Prime Minister Edi Rama's podcast, while the company's premises in Kashar have been visited several times by government ministers.

However, Ms. Puca decided to sell 49 percent of the shares of her flagship company, so much trumpeted by the government, for a price of only 490 euros. The buyer was Ron Yeffet, an Israeli with Albanian citizenship and secretly very close to Edi Rama.

Sale of 49 percent of Timak shares for 490 euros

What prompted Ms. Puca to sell her business so cheaply?

Everything would become clear only two months later. The sale was a targeted shooting, the shots of which were heard in Ardi Veliu's office.

Army vehicle monopoly

At the height of the summer season, while most Albanians were on vacation, precisely on August 4, the state-owned military company Kayo and Timak established a joint company.

The company is called Timak Defence and is owned 80 percent by Timak and 20 percent by the state-owned company Kayo.

The establishment of Timak Defence

The company's object is the production or adaptation of special motor vehicles with an open architecture that allows the installation of weapon systems and any other system required by the armed forces or other security structures, for use by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania, security and civil emergency structures and other domestic or international clients.

In short, this is the company that will have the monopoly on supplying the army, police, guard, civil emergencies, etc. with vehicles.

The company's place of business will be in the former vehicle spare parts factory in Shkoza, in the building where News 24 television was located.

Five days after Ardi Veliu and Timak representatives formed the joint company, the government deployed police and military forces, violently removing News journalists from the building.

The state's monopoly on supplying vehicles is a very big business, tens of millions of euros a year. But it still remains unclear what the added value the company creates is.

Given that Albania cannot produce vehicles, this is likely to be a low-value-added trade, with the new company Timak Defence importing vehicles from abroad and adapting them locally, selling them to the government.

Businessman or realtor?

Ron Yeffet is not an unknown name to the public in Albania.

He attempted to enter as the founder of Air Albania, but after buying 23 percent of the shares of the parent company MDN, he left immediately after a month.

It is said after the clashes he had with Sinan Idrizi.

However, this was just one of Yeffe's adventures in Albania. The others have been even more sensational.

In January of this year, former Finance Minister Arben Ahmetaj publicly stated that Rama had asked him to sell Albania's public debt to Mr. Yeffet.

" I have an episode with the head of the organization and an Israeli friend of his at the flower garden. Because in addition to the Garden of Eden, there is also the flower room where he eats.

He asked me at the table with his friend, I was before the Eurobond issue, in 2018, to transfer the debt privately (private slement) to his friend. He insisted twice.

"I told him it won't happen. It's not in the interest of Albania ," Ahmetaj declared in an interview for Syri Televizione./Capital
