In his reaction to the new charge raised in the case of the privatization of the state company 'Buka', Arben Ahmetaj declares that not only has he not misused his duty, but he has also protected the interests of the state with his decision-making.
But the Special Prosecutor's Office thinks otherwise. Voxnews.al learns exclusively from the investigation file that the accusation of abuse of office against Arben Ahmetaj is based on his decision in 2014 as Minister of Economy and Entrepreneurship Development for the auction procedures for the sale of all state shares in this company.
SPAK says in the file that the decision to open the auction was taken in disregard of a 2006 decision of the Court of Appeal, which recognized the Myderiz i family as the owner of a plot of land of 7,680 square meters located on '5 Maji' street in Tirana.
Inside this plot of land, which the court recognized for the Myderizi family, was the former Bread Factory with an area of 6370 square meters.
The court decision prohibits the alienation of this property without the approval of the Myderizi family. But Arben Ahmetaj ignored this part and announced the auction.
At that time, businessman Lirim Fezollari owned about 40 percent of the shares and was the potential candidate for the purchase of state shares.
Procedura e ankandit u kundërshtua në rrugë gjyqësore nga trashëgimtarët e familjes Myderizi. Në vitin 2017, Gjykata Administrative e Apelit u dha të drejtë trashëgimtarëve. Por, ndërkohë, Ministria e Ekonomisë, nën drejtimin e Ahmetaj, kishte përfunduar ankandin, duke kaluar aksionet shtetërore tek Fezollari, i cili në përfundim të operacionin financiar zotëronte mbi 86 përqind të kuotave.
Në një kohë të shkurtër pasi mori pronësinë e kuotave dhe, rrjedhimisht edhe kontrollin me asetet e “Buka” sha”, Lirim Fezollari ia shiti trojet një tjetër kompanie, “Tobaço Holding”, e zotëruar po prej tij. Me kërkesë të trashëgimtarëve, është lëshuar urdhëri i sekuestrimit të përmbaruesit gjyqësor, me qëllim mostjetërsimin e pronave.
But the lands had been alienated earlier and no state institution was interested in establishing illegality in the country. In the conditions of institutional inactivity, the businessman Fezollari, through " Tobaço Holding ", builds the building that is known today as the " Emerald Mall " shopping center , built on the former plot of " Buka " sha., on 5 Maji street.
