The Italian television "Rai 3" will continue with the publication of the next investigation about the connections of the Albanian government with crime and corruption, as well as the refugee camps in Gjadër and Shengjin.
The journalist of the program Report "Rai 3" Giorgio Mottola interviewed the former deputy prime minister, Arben Ahmetaj, the right hand of Edi Rama.
A year and a half ago he was served with an arrest warrant for corruption in an investigation into the incinerators that made half the government tremble. To escape prison, Ahmetaj escaped to Switzerland and as Rama's loyal man, is now one of his most accused.
Ahmetaj revealed the key role of the mafia in the Albanian economy and politics: Criminal groups receive contracts, clean money in Albania through construction. They coordinate with Edi Rama.
According to the accusations of the fugitive former deputy prime minister, Rama had direct relations with the leaders of the mafia clan: I met mafia leaders in his office in the government building, I saw them .
Ahmetaj claims that relations with the mafia are mediated by an entrepreneur from Durrës, Ergys Agasi, a businessman in the tobacco sector and the son of a former powerful socialist deputy.
In the long interview for Report, Rama rejects the complaints, describing his former right-hand man as unreliable: People should not be taken seriously. Albanian politics is not contaminated by the mafia .
But a little while ago, a meeting took place in Rama's office, from which Report can tell the mafia bosses in the Prime Minister.
I have seen with my own eyes photographic evidence, in which Luftar Hysa participated, considered by the Canadian authorities as one of the main recyclers of the "Sinaloa Cartel". Two months after the conversation with the Albanian Prime Minister, the businessman received the license to open a casino in a luxury hotel in Vlora.
"I saw it once and then never again", is Rama's defense.
Albania is not a coveted land only for Albanian mafia clans.
In recent years, many Italian entrepreneurs have sought wealth beyond the Adriatic. Among them Massimo D'Alema.
"Report" discovered that last year the former prime minister opened an A&I lobbying firm in Tirana, where until a few months ago new companies did not pay any taxes.
"In Albania they deal with cryptocurrencies", says Ahmetaj. Asked by Report, D'Alema denies it.
In Tirana, however, in 2019 "Consulcesi Tech" opened its doors, a company that inaugurated a specialized fund for investments in cryptocurrencies in Malta.
"Consulcesi" refers to Massimo Tortorella, D'Alemws former partner in his winery. In 2019, D'Alema and Rama baptized together the start of activities in Tirana by Consulcesi Tech, participating in a conference.
