SPAK has issued a warrant for businessman Ilir Dedja, related to the Tirana incinerator affair. It is learned that businessman Ilir Dedja currently lives in Switzerland.
Ilir Dedja became known in Albania due to contracts worth hundreds of thousands of euros with incinerator companies and a scandal in Zimbabwe.
In July 2018, Stela Gugallja and Ilir Dedja appeared in a notary's office in the former Block area in the center of Tirana to sign a contract worth 500 thousand euros for the sale of shares in the company CGC - a loss-making company. no activity and zero assets on its balance sheet.
Dedja's plans at the time he bought the CGC company are not entirely known, but the Special Prosecutor's Office believes through its investigation that the contract to buy shares from Gugallja was fictitious.
It was different a year later, when Dedja returned the shares in exchange for 600,000 euros, which were sent through four bank transfers to his account in Switzerland.
This was not the only business deal between Dedja, 55, and the administrators of the incinerator affair, which enabled the transfer of hundreds of thousands of Albanian taxpayers' euros to Switzerland's offshore jurisdiction.
In 2021, four more transfers worth about 500 thousand euros were transferred from the Integrated Energy BV SPV company of the Tirana incinerator to the Lugano-based company 3DDD Swiss Trading SA, also controlled by Dedja.
Bank transfers to tax havens through the use of fictitious contracts are one of the classic forms of money laundering in the world and in Albania.
We remind you that SPAK issued arrest warrants for several others today. Arrest warrants have been issued for: Denisa Tollkucin, Dashamir Ymeraj and the citizen identified with the initials EH
Arrest warrants have also been issued for three foreign citizens, but none of them have been arrested so far.
In December 2023, SPAK issued 15 arrest warrants for Tirana's incinerator, including Tirana Municipality officials and former officials of the Ministry of Environment. Taulant Tusha, director of the Municipality of Tirana, was sentenced to prison.
The former Minister of the Environment, Lefter Koka, convicted for the other 2 incinerator concessions, as well as the former Secretary of this Ministry, Alqi Blako, were also sentenced to the same measure.
The rest of the persons who were accused are members of the selection commissions of the concession. The 2 businessmen Mirel Mërtiri and Klodian Zoto are also under investigation for the Tirana incinerator, but they have not yet been arrested.
