The lobbying scandal in the USA, SPAK asks the banks for data on LSI bank
Ilir Meta

The Special Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office is continuing the investigation into Ilir Meta's lobbying in the USA.

SPAK has asked the banks for data on LSI bank accounts and transactions made to lobbying offices.

Journalist Arsen Rusta has learned that SPAK has asked the CEC for the financial statements filed by LSI during the electoral campaigns, statements in which lobbying expenditure items are also reported. This investigation is being led by the head of SPAK Arben Kraja and Prosecutor Sotir Kllapi.

Two days ago, the CEC requested the self-declaration form of the Leader of the Freedom Party. SPAK's request comes within the framework of investigations into the lobbying scandal in the USA with undeclared USD 700,000 thousand. The complaint was filed in SPAK by former MP Halit Valteri. Valteri's criminal complaint was the result of an investigation by Austria's largest newspaper, Kronen Zeitung, which alleged that President Ilir Meta paid $700,000 to lobby a Cypriot shell company to secure a photo at the President's inauguration. American Donald Trump. 

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.  

700 thousand USD lobbying is confirmed
Several documents published in the media have confirmed the authenticity of the article published a few days ago by the Austrian newspaper "Kronen Zeitung", which denounced Ilir Meta and LSI for having paid 700 thousand USD for lobbying in the United States United States of America, for a photo at the inauguration ceremony of US President Donald Trump, in 2017.

The documents submitted to the American authorities seriously compromise Ilir Meta and LSI. The contracts confirm that Ilir Meta, at the beginning of 2017, paid about 700 thousand dollars to the company McKeon Group. 90,000 dollars were paid by lawyer Iraklis Fidetzis, while another 600,000 dollars were paid by Fidetzis, but through the company "Dorelita Limited", registered as offshore in Cyprus.

Where did Ilir Meta find the money to make the payments in January-February 2017 for the company McKeon Group and 600 thousand euros for the company "Dorelita Limited"? Has Meta declared this money to the Central Election Commission or to the High Inspectorate of Assets Declaration and Control?

Contrary to what the American documents show, in its annual financial report for 2017, submitted to the Central Election Commission, LSI reported expenses for consulting and lobbying in the amount of 3.3 million ALL. Specifically, LSI has declared to the CEC consulting expenses in the amount of ALL 1,414,465 with the company JPM Strategic Solution LLC USA. Also, the Socialist Movement for Integration Party has declared in the financial report consulting services with the company MCKEON GROUP, in the amount of ALL 1,942,500.

The Central Election Commission, through a report, has found that LSI does not justify with legal sources of income even the second contract, the one with the company MCKEON GROUP, worth 1.9 million ALL.
