The scheme of forging documents to appropriate public property, under the never-ending investigation of prosecutor Valbona Maja. Are we dealing with negligence or protection from corruption?
For more than 5 years, a criminal file centered on a documented crime against public property has been in the drawers of the Saranda Prosecutor's Office, dragged along with total indifference by the investigative bodies. The case is clear, the facts are in the file, but justice is missing.
Prosecutor Valbona Maja, who has been in charge of this file for two years, has been the subject of strong criticism for delays, lack of investigations and – as suspected by sources within the justice system – deliberate cover-up of an economic crime. The facts: One property, two urban studies, a clear forgery and a missing indictment.
This case concerns a strategically important public plot on the coastline of Saranda. Two citizens, Sevo Qurku and Sali Capari, are involved in a legal process following the government's decision to expropriate and the IKMT's decision to demolish their buildings. In this legal process, they have presented an urban study measuring 44 linear m, 21.5 linear m and 5.5 linear m, a document that has also been confirmed by the Municipality of Saranda as the only legal and officially registered plan.
But then, after it turned out that the property had been developed and occupied by third parties, Qurku and Capari submitted another urban plan, with the same protocol number and date, but with completely different dimensions: 35.5 linear m, 19 linear m and 38.5 linear m.
This second plan is falsified, and aims to legitimize the occupation of another area, different from the one to which they had acquired the right. In short: we are dealing with an organized fraud, where through the alteration of technical data in urban planning documents, an attempt has been made to plunder another part of public land.
The municipality confirms the original, the prosecution ignores the forgery.
In the legal process, the Municipality itself has officially confirmed the validity of the first urban plan – thus making it even more obvious to the prosecution that every other document is a forgery. However, despite this, the chief prosecutor has not registered any criminal proceedings against the persons involved, and has not taken any concrete investigative action. The file, as sources from within the institution say, “has remained in a drawer”.
Is the delay in this case intentional and is it a blatant cover-up of the crime? Negligence in this case cannot be justified as incompetence. We are faced with a case with clear documentation, evidence of forgery and a direct consequence: the appropriation of public property. In these cases, Article 248 of the Criminal Code (“Abuse of office”) can also be applied to the justice officials themselves who intentionally or through inaction allow the crime to go unpunished.
Furthermore, if it is proven that the prosecutor was aware of the forgery and refused to act, we may have elements of passive corruption or support for economic crime through public power - an offense that can also be investigated by SPAK.
Public lands are being plundered through the doors of justice.
This case is one of many in Albania, where public property is robbed with forged documents, through the collaboration of shady segments in public institutions, in the municipality, ALUIZNI, Cadastre, or the Prosecutor's Office. In this specific case, the fake documents were used in a registration process in the "ASHK" - a major risk for the justice system that could degrade the courts' capture of forgers. This raises a fundamental question: Are the justice institutions at the service of the state and citizens, or of those who know how to manipulate them?
Will SPAK finally intervene? SPAK is responsible for investigating corruption of justice officials, including prosecutors of district prosecutors. This case, which has been dragging on for 5 years, deserves to be reviewed immediately. The facts are there. The file is there. Silence is criminal.
Today, more than ever, an intervention by SPAK is needed to investigate the reasons for the inaction of prosecutor Valbona Maja and to guarantee the punishment of the perpetrators of this robbery of public property. Our editorial team will continuously follow this issue and will publish names, documents, maps and evidence that substantiate this crime against common property. Justice must not be delayed any longer. There is no more room for procrastination.
If justice does not act today, tomorrow there will be no more public property to protect./ In-Front.org
