One brother is under official indictment by the Special Prosecution Office for several serious criminal offenses, including participation in a criminal group, while the other brother heads one of the most important departments of the Albanian state, that of the chief diplomat, which has direct relations with the most important countries in the world.
We are talking about Ferit and Gëzim Hoxha, the first a minister and the second a businessman, as recently the names of both have been used for power and public money, with Ferit having risen up the career ladder and Gëzim, despite being investigated by SPAK, winning millions of euros in public tenders.
It seems that the clans behind the current majority have allowed the brothers to flourish, one with important positions, from ambassador to minister, and the other, despite being investigated for several criminal offenses, easily winning tenders from many institutions.
The irony of fate lies in the fact that Gëzim's private company, FIRST, easily wins a procedure from the Central Election Commission, despite not having the lowest bid.

Vox News has investigated one of the Central Election Commission's tenders, with the object of "auditing and maintenance for the information security management system (ISMS) at the CEC". The winner was the firm "FIRST", owned by Gëzim Hoxha.
This company offered 12.2 million new lek, while another company called "Idealdevs Corporation" was also in the competition, which offered about 10 million lek. But, as usually happens in all procedures that are suspected of being predetermined, in this case too, the offer of the company that offered less was disqualified on the pretext that "there is no similar work".
A scheme that is commonly used in almost all large tenders, those in which it is known who is the winner even before they are announced, or in which the standard documents are not made by the procuring institution but by the participating firms themselves, or the one that will win.
The winner in this case is a firm that is quite close to the majority, both with relatives, where Ferit holds an important position, and with clans, as the people in the SPAK file, along with Gëzim, enjoy reputations and have "open doors."
Meanwhile, the scandal deepens further because the same owner, Gëzim Hoxha, is implicated in another CEC tender, with the object of "maintenance of existing CEC modules", with a limited fund of around 43 million lekë.
It is learned that there were several firms in the competition, where the lowest bid was that of "Evolve" with 33 million lek, while there was also a bid from BOE "Intelisoft" & "Wow digital" with 40 million lek. It is learned that the owner of Intelisoft is precisely Gëzim Hoxha, who despite having the highest bid, was declared the winner by the CEC. Subsequently, the procedure went to the KPP and is currently in the documentation verification phase.

A few weeks ago, Vox News reported that, at a time when Ferit Hoxha was appointed Ambassador to the EU, in July 2024, his brother, Gëzim Hoxha, continued to win and receive secret tenders from the government, one of which was worth a full 60 million euros. The SPAK file, researched by VoxNews, details that loans were made from the firm "First" to Beqiri's or Agas's companies in amounts ranging up to 1.2 million euros.
The facts are evident, already fully revealed by the Special Prosecution, but which have been left in the air until now, because these same individuals have also appeared at the fictitious DURANA park in Xhafzotaj, Durrës. The name of “First” and Gëzim Hoxha is considered by SPAK as one of the most active. “The invoices made by 'EA Solution' sh.pk to three other entities are fictitious and with the aim of benefiting from the money that derives from the procurement procedures predetermined by the criminal group,” the file states.
The AKSHI file also details the testimony of businessman Gëzim Hoxha himself, who stated that he has had the firm since 2008, while focusing on cybersecurity. In his testimony, he indirectly admitted that he paid an amount of about 600 thousand euros as a bribe, while also making other invoices with the two main businessmen, who are wanted.
His main evidence was for a super secret tender, which is still unknown to this day what was done. "We also had another collaboration, because last year, probably in October 2024, we won another procurement procedure with the National Agency for Public Works, with a high value of about 60 million euros. This tender is secret and there we subcontracted some services to the company 'EA Solution', which have a value of about 60 million new lek", Hoxha claimed.

The file states that Mirlinda Karçanaj, the former director of the National Agency for Public Procurement, established illegal criteria in procurement procedures that favored and created unfair privileges for several economic operators, including "First".
"Gëzim Hoxha has an active role in participating in and illegally benefiting from procurement procedures, which are dictated by the aforementioned citizens. He has credited significant amounts to the company 'EA Solution'," the file states.
Hoxha has been placed under a security measure prohibiting him from leaving the country, while he is being investigated for money laundering committed within the framework of a criminal organization. He has been ordered by the Special Court not to leave the territory of Albania.
Data analyzed by the VoxNews editorial team shows that Gëzim Hoxha set up a scheme to launder the money he received from tenders, by diverting it to other companies in the same field, or more recently, to virtual companies of DURANA.
The threads between Gëzim Hoxha and Ermal Beqiri, in addition to their participation in the AKSHI criminal group, are linked to DURANA.
Gëzim was also present, who, with the acquaintances and collaborations he had made, opened the company “CyberMind Labs”. He registered it with the Central Business Register in November 2025. The company's address, according to the documents, is at “Shijak, Durana Tech Park, Ahmet Zogu Street, Xhafzotaj Administrative Unit”.
At the same time, in November 2025, Gëzim Hoxha opened another shell or fictitious company with an address in Xhafzotaj, calling it “Box Artificial Logic”. A genuine scheme to launder money received from secret tenders, where to this day it is still not known exactly how much money Gëzim Hoxha received in total, or the people hiding behind it.
