Even these suspects, as part of the scheme where EU money in aid of the development of small businesses, were wasted by hiding it in private businesses, mainly in the culinary field.
The show "Në Shënjestre" by the journalist, Klodiana Lala, addressed today the issue of the arrest of Ilir Beqaj, the former Minister of Health. Beqaj was arrested by order of SPAK in connection with the abuse of EU funds during the time when he led SASPAC, while he was investigated in connection with the 100 million euro sterilization concession affair.
Ilir Beqaj is already one of the many ministers of Rama governments, who will have to face justice.
And to prove that the charges leveled against him do not stand.
While he was expected to be arrested for the 100 million euro sterilization concession affair, in fact Beqaj, known for his expression 'success in life', was arrested on Wednesday morning, July 4, for another suspected corruption affair.
That of abusing European Union funds, during the time when he was leading SASPAC (State Agency for Strategic Programming and Aid Coordination.
One of the most surprising cases is how a minister who was under investigation for another corruption case against him, precisely during the investigation against him by SPAK, is involved, if the suspicion of the Special Prosecutor's Office is true, in another corruption scandal.
Where together with him, 5 other people, part of his entourage, are already detained.
Even these suspects, as part of the scheme where EU money in aid of the development of small businesses, were wasted by hiding it in private businesses, mainly in the culinary field.
Or by creating fictitious invoices for unconsumed lunches and dinners in these restaurants, where foreign delegations were often invited, among them the European Union in Tirana.
In the analysis of the evidence collected up to this stage of the investigation, it has been found that the citizen Ilir Beqaj in the capacity of General Director of SASPAC acting as an orderer in cooperation with the person under investigation Ermal Kurtula appointed by the person under investigation Ilir Beqaj in on May 26, 2022, as coordinator of the 'Facility Point' office for the EUSAIR project, in SASPAC, during the years 2022-2023, they are suspected of having carried out fictitious procurement procedures.
But what are these fictitious procedures that have been discovered by SPAK, and how was corruption hidden through these tricks, where Beqaj's cover is said to have been served by his man Ermal Kurtula, whom he took with him to every department he went to.
Is it so simple to rob taxpayers' money through these procedures, even European ones as in the present case.
And why did Beqaj and his people feel so confident in the development of this affair, which will not be revealed?
At least eight services procured within the events: 'On the organization of the FESTA Conference (The Future of Sustainable Environmental Tourism in Albania'), as well as the 'Energy Conference', organized in 2023 have not been subjected to a regular procurement procedure , but the winner was agreed upon and determined long before the procurement procedure was carried out, which was carried out fictitiously afterwards, for documentation and payment purposes.
In its investigation SPAK and the National Bureau of Investigation were able to discover that the orderer of these fictitious procedures that then ended in the embezzlement or alienation of EU funds was Ilir Beqaj, at that time the head of the SASPAC office. which dealt precisely with the management of these funds.
These tenders were developed through a competitive negotiation procedure or simple procurement, which were ordered to be carried out by the person under investigation Ilir Beqaj in the capacity of General Director, who has signed since agreeing to perform the specified service, to the invitations sent to the entities to submit offers according to the type of procurement, to the order for the establishment of the commission to carry out the evaluation of the offers, to the letter sent to the winner after the evaluation until the conclusion of the contract, these drafted documents , completed and signed some time later, from the conclusion and implementation of the contract./ In Shënjestre
