The security company of the family of Erzen Breçani, former deputy director of the Tirana Police, who is currently being tried in the Special Court for several criminal offenses, has won a tender from the Tirana Water Supply Company without competition. It may sound strange, since on the one hand the name of the company “BREÇANI - ROSP” appears in the SPAK file for money laundering and on the other hand it earns public money very easily at the same time.
The paradox is that there are no coercive or exclusionary measures against the firm, although there are suspicions that the drug trafficking money from Erzen Breçani's son and Ervin Mata was being invested in HECs, obtained by the security company. The file contains a multitude of documents or even conversations, where the name of the firm is mentioned several times, while the company is owned by Mr. Fatbardh Breçani, Erzen Breçani's brother.
The former deputy director of the Tirana Police was arrested in November 2023 and remained in custody until June 2024. He is currently being tried under house arrest, where he has been ordered not to leave his apartment.
Meanwhile, during this time, the family company, "BREÇANI - ROSP" has continued its commercial activity, where Erzen Breçani has always "used" his brother as owner and administrator. In fact, the accounting expert of this company is also Ms. Shpresa Breçani, who is the granddaughter of Sali Berisha.
According to documents available to VoxNews, on January 10, 2025, the company "BREÇANI - ROSP" sh.pk was announced the winner of a formal procedure by the Tirana Water Company. It is a service procedure, with the type of procurement procedure "with negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice".
This concerns the object of the contract "safeguarding and physical security in private guards and escorting of monetary values ??for UKT sh.a", with a duration of 63 days from the date of signing the contract.
The firm "BREÇANI - ROSP" was awarded a lump sum of 13,715,569 lek, or about 140 thousand euros. The document was signed by the Administrator of UKT, Kostandin Budurushi.
VoxNews reviewed the extract of the company "Breçani ROSP", which shows that the owner with 100% of the shares is Mr. Fatbardh Breçani, brother of Erzen Breçani. The company was opened in 2005, when the Democratic Party came to power, while at that time Erzen was in the ranks of the police. He "used" the close ties with the government of that time, as he had previously been Sali Berisha's bodyguard.
Meanwhile, years passed and after the SP came to power, he left the police in 2013 to devote himself to the security firm. But, in 2023, he was arrested by order of SPAK for several criminal offenses, while the name of the firm is also in the file.
"From the conversation where 'Bardhi', 'hydropower plant' are mentioned, referring also to our actions and verifications, it results that the entity 'Breçani ROSP' sh.pk, with the object of activity of private physical security insurance and, among other things, the use and administration of the 'Drita' hydropower plant, with sole partner and administrator Fatbardh Breçani, brother of Erzen Breçani, with decision No. 14 dated 12.07.2019 of the KKT, the permit for the construction of the hydropower plant facility was approved. A company 'HEC Drita Energy' has been registered, with sole partner 'Breçani ROSP' and administrator citizen Eralbi Breçani. Erzen Breçani himself is found to be employed by the Breçani ROSP company," the SPAK file states.
A few weeks ago, the file against Breçani went to trial in the Special Court, where Erzen Breçani himself is being tried for money laundering and supporting the perpetrator of the crime.
