Former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj has stated that his partner Erjola is the owner of the land on which the villa is located that is accused of having bought it from Klodian Zoto.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Ahmetaj stated in "Opinion" that Klodian Zoto never had this villa in Lalzi Bay. But he did not explain why his partner, as long as she was the owner of the land, had to pay the bank for the purchase of the villa.
Arben Ahmetaj: It is a distant acquaintance, I have never seen him.
Blendi Fevziu: A distant acquaintance does not give you a villa and does not pay for a hotel. He books a villa in one of the resorts on the Adriatic coast and one day he receives an e-mail saying: Dear Mr. Zoto, I was writing to you and we would like to inform you of the progress of the works on your villa, works completed xx . A few months later, a second email arrives, again addressed to Klodian Zoto, to whom he says: Pursuant to the business contract you undertook with us for the construction of a real estate in Durrës, we would like to inform you that the works have finished Under these conditions, please show up to collect the villa.
Blendi Fevziu: Suddenly this villa is transferred to another person and in 2022 it will be transferred to your wife and it is worth 240 thousand. Why did this villa have to account to Klodian Zoto's staff for this villa? Did you declare this villa in the property declaration?
Arben Ahmetaj: In order to give someone something, you have to be its owner. Second, I am not responsible for who orders and who does not order, even more so the entrepreneur who built it is one of the most serious in Albania. The first that Klodian Zoto never had this villa. If there are cashless villas, tell me where they are. I am not responsible for Klodian Zoton. He never became the owner of the villa, the villa is owned by another entrepreneur. My partner, Erjola, her sister-in-law are the owners of Gjiri t Lalzi, the land. No relation Klodian Zoto. It was bought by bank transfer from Erjola, who does not have the name Klodian Zoto at all.
