According to leaked data, the cost, which was 60 million dollars, was multiplied to 140 million, a fund provided as a loan from Abu Dhabi and given without a tender to a specific company.

The alarming figures according to Ahmetaj : a body camera for police officers, connected to the central system, costs $15,723 , while a traffic monitoring camera reaches $52,000 .

These costs are considered six to seven times higher than the real market value.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Ahmetaj added that the contract gives a company from a non-NATO country access to critical infrastructure and sensitive citizen data.

According to him, there is talk of the risk of using " hostile technology ", placing the country's security in hands uncertified according to Alliance standards.
