The lobbying scandals that have shocked the world, the connections with Vladimir Putin and the concealment of the owners of the companies, have been the main topic of the article of the media giant BBC .
Part of this article, which talks about lobbying scandals, also mentions the chairman of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, where it is said that he paid money to have a photo with the former American president, Donald Trump.
According to the BBC, the scandal of this lobbying is that Russia has spent 500 thousand dollars lobbying for Lulzim Basha and it is not known how this money was transferred.
In March 2017, the BBC writes that the company 'Biniatta Trade LP' paid an American lobbyist on behalf of Lulzim Basha, head of the Democratic Party of Albania. The lobbyist organized access to Republican politicians and a fundraiser where Mr. Bashar was able to get a photo opportunity with then-President Donald Trump - later used in the Albanian election campaign.
Reports last year suggested that US intelligence believed that the election campaign of Mr Basha, whose slogan was Make Albania Great Again, had been secretly backed by Russia with $500,000.
Biniatta's ownership was hidden through offshore secrecy and fake directors, but leaked Alpha documents include an agreement from 2015, when the partnership was formed, which named the beneficial owner as a Russian national named Maxim Trofimets.
In the summer of 2017, when the law on Scottish partnerships changed, Mr. Trofimets was not declared as Biniatta's "significant control person" and an Alpha candidate falsely stated that the firm had provided all the information it needed.
The next day, the same Alpha candidate secretly signed a new power of attorney agreement, renewing control of Mr. Trofimets over Biniatta./Part taken from BBC , adapted by VoxNews.
