Ilir Meta

SPAK has registered at least three criminal proceedings on the basis of several reports against Ilir Meta, for abuse of office, passive corruption, money laundering, concealment of assets, fraud with the declaration of assets, etc.

For one of the reports, referred by former deputy Halit Valteri for lobbying in the USA with hundreds of thousands of undeclared dollars and whose source is unknown, SPAK, in addition to registering criminal proceedings, has taken Ilir Meta under investigation. 

In the framework of the investigation, SPAK is collecting information, while it has asked the CEC for a copy of Meta's self-declaration form, because it operates under two surnames, as well as to whom it has asked the Directorate of Civil Status for information on Ilir Meta's generals and possible changes. 

It is about the proceeding with number 122 of the SPAK of 2022. Report Tv learns that in this criminal proceeding, two criminal charges have been registered, which Ilir Meta is suspected of having committed. 

Meta is being investigated by SPAK for passive corruption provided for in Article 259 of the Criminal Code, an offense punishable by imprisonment from 3 to 8 years. In addition, Meta is being investigated for the forgery of seals, stamps or forms, provided for in Article 190/3 of the Criminal Code, an offense punishable by 3 to 7 years in prison.  

In the criminal report, it is stated that Ilir Meta and Monika Kryemadhi committed 8 criminal offenses, such as concealment of income, passive and active corruption, money laundering, abuse of office, concealment of assets, non-payment of taxes, etc. 

As facts, the report states that Ilir Meta and LSI signed lobbying contracts in the USA with the company McKeon Group in 2017, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, hiding the expenses both in the KQZ and in the ILDKPKI, as the law provides. 

Attached to the criminal report are the lobbying contract, the financial report of LSI in 2017, as well as the asset declarations of Meta, Kryemadhi and Vasili for 2017. The presentation of these documents seriously implicates Ilir Meta, but also Petrit Vasili and Monika Kryemadhi.
