The court session in charge of former minister Ilir Beqaj, who will be introduced today with the security measure, is interrupted.
He was arrested for abusing EU funds and appeared in court today. After nearly 3 hours, the session was interrupted for about 30 minutes. Ilir Beqaj requested to be released from prison against a financial guarantee of 50,000 euros. It remains to be seen what the Special Court will decide now.
In addition to Beqaj, Ermal Kurtulaj, his right-hand man, and Alfred NikollaBeqaj were arrested in connection with the embezzlement of EU funds, through the Saspak agency, which the former Minister of Health led, although before him, SPAK had started investigations related to health concessions.
The Special Prosecutor's Office clarified through a statement that the investigations showed that when he was running the SASPAC Agency, he set up a benefit scheme with fictitious invoices and procurement procedures, extorting EU funds (IPA II Program).
SPAK states that the funds for the activities of the SASPAC agency went to the predetermined winners according to the orders and directives given by Beqaj. In the function of this scheme, SPAK points out, Beqaj collaborated with Ermal Kurtulaj, his financier and close associate. According to SPAK, the restaurant "Gzona" inside the Castle of Tirana, although it has another person as administrator, is the hidden property of Beqaj.
SPAK states that Beqaj has invested in the "Gzona" restaurant since 2019 the sums of 21,411 euros and 4,666,110 new lek for the purchase of equipment and 34,783 euros as rental expenses.
