The useless and inflated tenders of the National Agency for the Information Society have been extorting the state budget for many years. Some of the officials and firms close to them have been targeted by the Special Prosecution Office, headed by Ermal Beqiri and Mirlinda Karçanaj, not forgetting Ergys Agas and others.
Meanwhile, a good part of this gang, like Daniel Shima or Gerond Meçe, who have been considered "victims" so far, despite the fact that both, together or separately, have created a large network of firms and assets to launder money, have not been hit. If Daniel, from a simple salaryman, emerges with millions of euros in property, Gerond Meçe, out of fear of SPAK, passed the shares of his firm to his elderly mother.
Desperate moves, as Vox News, but also law enforcement agencies have verified them very quickly and they, like the first group, are expected to be hit. However, this interim time has been fruitful especially for Meçan, who through his firm, ABS, continues to win tenders from AKSHI. These are precisely those useless tenders, for which millions of euros are spent and the winner is known, or rather predetermined.

Vox News has obtained other documents on the ease with which the "victim" won the next tender at the National Agricultural Agency. It concerns the procedure with the object of "improving the information management system of the vineyard cadastre", with a fund of 41,666,660 lek, or about 420 thousand euros.
Given the facility, it seems that it is only about improving and not upgrading the system. This system was built years ago and now the company in question will improve it. The winner was “Advanced Busines Solutions – ABS” with an address on “Murat Toptani” street in Tirana. The date of signing the contract was February 3, 2026.
Vox News has obtained information from several institutions that the two "hostages" of the ASKHI file, former deputy director Daniel Shima and businessman Gerond Meçe, are trying by all means to launder the money they extorted from tenders. Both, together or separately, have created a network of companies, embezzling tens of millions of euros from each other.
Before, during or after the SPAK action, Shima and Meçe have created new companies, made transactions, bought and sold properties, obtained building permits, purchased or sold quotas, and signed donation deeds. There are strong suspicions that all of these actions are being done with one purpose: money laundering!
The biggest beneficiary of these procedures has undoubtedly been the company "Advanced Business Solution", owned by Gerond Meçen, while Daniel Shima was the deputy director. According to official data, researched by our editorial team, ABS of Meçen has benefited in recent years from the frightening figure of around 40 million euros.

These tenders, most of which were won without any competition by ABS, even disqualifying the lowest bids, have attracted the attention of the Special Prosecution Office. Sources from this prosecution body told Vox News that information or references about "agreements" or "pre-determinations" of tenders by the heads of AKSHI for "Advanced Business Solution" have reached that institution.
In fact, verifications have also begun by the National Bureau of Investigation, which has "sifted" all of AKSHI's tenders. But, precisely at this time and with SPAK on its heels, Gerond Meçe makes a move, transferring the shares of the ABS company to his elderly mother. The donation contract was made in May 2025, where Gerond transfers only the ownership to Shegush, while the administrators were the same, perhaps out of "fear" of the Special Prosecution.
Currently, the shares of this firm are still in the name of 75-year-old Shegush Meçe, born in Elbasan and residing in Tirana. A move to shift the "blame" to his elderly mother, while the Special Prosecution's investigations should have focused on ABS and not on his "daughters". But, the opening of companies or even transactions from one company to another always leave traces.
If you look at the AKSHI tenders, Meçe was competing with ABS, which he passed on to his mother. But, in parallel, he also opened another company, called “Artificial Intelligence Business Solutions”, spending tens of millions of euros on this firm. Data provided by Vox News shows that around 15 million euros have passed from ABS to AIBS over the last 5 years.

In June 2025, a few weeks before being taken "hostage" by the Beqiri and Agas group, Gerond Meçe would declare the balance sheet of the second company, AIBS. He writes in the documents that he came out with a profit of 630 thousand euros, while distributing a dividend in the amount of 1.7 million euros, from previous profits.
Tax records show that the company, although it did not win any tenders, was making tens of millions of euros, under the pretext of "IT work". The transfers of these payments from one hand to another are suspected to have been made to launder money from AKSHI tenders, which were then diverted to companies close to Meça or even to AKSHI executives.
The above information is from several sources and official documents. It is clearly seen in them that the "hostage", Gerond Meçe, has moved millions of euros. Subsequent investigations by the Special Prosecution Office may reveal a lot, whether there was a connection between Meçe or Shimë, whether there are other people involved and where tens of millions of euros from Albanian taxes ended up.
