In February 2016, a firm opened in a private environment in the city of Berat would win the hemodialysis concession, a vital service for patients whose kidneys are failing.

The private sector would set up several dialysis centers, where it would install equipment that would allow blood to be taken from patients, the removal of toxins, salts, water, etc., which would normally be done by the kidneys, and then the purified blood would be returned to the body.

So, a business with the blood of Albanians, where the DiaVita firm, behind which stands the American Hospital tycoon, Klodjan Allajbeu, for the 10-year concession period would benefit from 80 to 90 million euros.

As has usually happened with all concessions, in this case too, irregularities and payments that went into the pockets of private individuals have been discovered. Patients have not been provided with vital services, putting their lives at risk, while on the other hand, the managers and the company itself have received millions allocated by the state itself.

A few days ago, the Supreme State Audit Office found frightening violations and abuses, where the concessionaire was paid several times for the same service. According to the report, the company in question received payments even when it did not provide dialysis services. It was even discovered that there was no nephrologist or dietician in these centers. The concessionaire removed patients who required urgent service from its centers, sending them to the QSUT. A multitude of violations were found, since the company itself did not invest in equipment, although it was foreseen in the contract.

But where did the money that the state paid for cleaning up the blood of Albanians go?! Instead of the concessionaire cleaning up the blood, it has actually cleaned up the money of Albanian taxpayers.

VoxNews reviewed a multitude of documents, balance sheets, contracts and payments, which revealed that the concessionaire has suspiciously increased expenses and employee salaries during the last year of the agreement. This is in order to generate minimal balance sheets, despite the fact that the Health Care Fund generates millions of euros each year.

Last year, according to documents researched by VoxNews , DiaVita sent the 2024 balance sheet to the Central Bank. “Approval of the distribution of the 2024 profit in the amount of 5,553,806 lek, transferring it to other reserves,” the document states. This balance sheet was then sent to the Directorate of Large Taxpayers.

In other documents, it turns out that the firm boasts by declaring that "the results achieved are the fruit of the work of all DiaVita shpk employees." In fact, it is not the fruit of any merit, but of those who gave it the highly profitable concession.

"For 2024, the company has generated a volume of income from operating activities in the amount of 907,574,122 lek. Income from the Hemodialysis Service was 898,671,051 lek and other income was 8,903,071 lek," the document states.

So, apart from payments from the Fund, the firm in question does not even exist! The SAI found a multitude of violations, or the lack of doctors, as the documents state that "for the year 2024, the company had an average of about 123 employees, most of whom were qualified employees mainly in the field of medicine - doctors and nurses, psychologists, economists, etc."

According to documents researched by VoxNews , in the last two years of the concession contract, the company has significantly increased its liabilities to suppliers. In 2022, the liabilities were 217 million lek, while in 2023 this liability increased to a full 348 million lek, or about 1.3 million euros more. The same increase was recorded in 2024, in the amount of 336 million lek.

The suspicions are that the firm is trying to pay other subcontractors, domestic or foreign, to "launder" the money it receives from the state for the concession. And, by increasing these liabilities, its balance sheet is showing minimal profits.

The concessionaire firm has begun a scheme to clean up, not blood but money, in recent years, where in addition to increasing expenses for suppliers, it has also increased the bonuses or salaries of workers.

According to documents researched by VoxNews , in 2023, workers' salaries and bonuses amounted to 128 million. Meanwhile, in 2024, workers' expenses amounted to 154 million new leks. So, with a significant increase, which amounts to a full 260 thousand euros.

Who took this money?! Are they payments that the state gives for non-performance or non-fulfillment of the contract? Or are they payments twice for the same service? Of course, this concession, like many others, deserve a full and comprehensive investigation, even by the Special Prosecutor's Office itself. The data is evident.

Of course, the concession must be transparent, as it concerns a vital service for patients, blood purification. Whether or not they have provided this service remains to be seen. A full verification of state structures is needed, whether or not they have carried out controls, as well as an investigation into the firm itself, which with its maneuvers has started the scheme to launder the money received.

VoxNews also reviewed the same company's balance sheet for 2023, which shows that the profit was 29,551,376 lekë, or over 300 thousand euros. An extremely high amount, compared to the following year, the year in which the extortion scheme began.

But how much did he earn in previous years? Data researched by our editorial team shows that the hemodialysis concession has been extremely profitable for Allajbeu's firm. Huge payments to executives, while profits have been hundreds of thousands of euros. In 2022, the firm declared a profit of 270 thousand euros.

The company's balance sheets are up and down, with the result that in 2021, the concessionaire declared a profit of 7.7 million lek. The profit was not distributed as a dividend, but was transferred to other reserves. A method followed by large companies to avoid paying dividend taxes, but which are transferred to other companies, under the pretext of consulting or services.

In total, over the last 4 years, the concessionaire has declared about 700 thousand euros in profit. All income has then been distributed to several supplier companies or, in the last two years, in salaries or bonuses of the company's managers. In this way, no additional taxes are paid. The scheme is evident, a scheme that is laundering the money that the company receives from taxpayers.
