Former President Ilir Meta was summoned today to the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office on Monday at 11:00 to communicate the closure of the investigations into the LSI lobbying file in the US and the CEZ-DIA affair.
Meta, who has been held in a detention cell since October 21 of last year, on charges of corruption, money laundering and concealment of assets, will be escorted from the detention facility to the SPAK premises where, together with his defense lawyer, Kujtim Caktani, he will sign the closure of the investigations.
The same procedure was followed for his ex-wife Monika Kryemadhi, as well as for the couple's two associates, Ema Çoku and Piro Xhixho. SPAK charged the latter with "passive corruption", while Ema Çoku with "money laundering".
Purchases of apartments for hundreds of thousands of euros without justification, hundreds of thousands of euros of other expenses, purchases in luxury stores or travel, with undeclared money and an origin that, according to SPAK, came from corruption, are some of the episodes that the Special Prosecution Office highlights from the investigation to argue the charge of money laundering by the Meta-Kryemadhi couple.
SPAK's investigations reveal that one of the schemes used by the Meta-Kryemadhi couple to launder money was to obtain loans to justify expenses, while the loans were repaid in cash by Fatime Kryemadhi. In just one case, in a few months, the mother repaid a loan worth 138 thousand euros without justifying the sources. (122)
SPAK indicates that a loan of 335 thousand euros received from Fatime Kryemadhi was used to justify the purchase of a duplex apartment in the former block in 2009-2010.
But according to SPAK, the investigation has shown that the amount of 310,000 Euros that were used to purchase the first floor of the duplex were deposited in cash into the banking system by Ilir Meta's mother-in-law and the loan of 335,000 Euros was also repaid with money deposited in a second-tier bank in March-November 2010, money that the Special Prosecution considers to come from Meta's and Kryemadhi's corruption. So 310 thousand Euros that SPAK considers to come from unknown sources (page 125)
So, according to the Prosecution, the 335 thousand euro loan was used to purchase the second floor of the duplex, while the first floor was previously purchased and liquidated by Fatime Kryemadhi.
SPAK has questioned Monika Kryemadhi's mother, Fatime, who according to the Prosecution has given unbelievable explanations about the sources, giving once the sale of properties, another time a loan or even in one case 100 million lek from the money of the çokus for the death of her husband. The Special Prosecution says that not only that but she submitted loan contracts with Ema Çoku after being questioned by SPAK, while no trace of money disbursement is found in the banks.
This entire scheme, which according to SPAK led to the introduction of 846 thousand euros in cash into the banking system, came at a time when Ilir Meta was accused of corruption in connection with the CEZ-DIA affair with Kastriot Ismailaj.
The SPAK file also records Monika Kryemadhi's purchases in European stores in significant amounts. In one case alone, Kryemadhi spent $12,000 in a boutique on a credit card obtained from Adrian Shatku.
Even the expenses made by the children in England were not declared according to SPAK, the expenses for education were not declared correctly, but also the health expenses for the children. With the credit card in the name of the grandmother, Fatime Kryemadhi, SPAK says purchases were made in clothing and shoe stores in Great Britain with considerable values, for 2019 alone over 35 million old lekë.
According to the Special Prosecution Office, documentation of expenses and money laundering schemes proves that Ilir Meta and Monika Kryemadhi have abused their power and through corruption have secured millions of dollars for their family.
