Journalist Klodiana Lala has stated that the Durrës Prosecutor's Office was ready to arrest several people involved in the affair with the traffic of the suspected toxic waste of the Kurum company, but there was intervention in the last moments and they were not arrested.
"The Durrës Prosecutor's Office was almost one step away from arresting the persons involved in this pure corruption affair, which includes not only Kurum and Sokolaj but also institutions, from the Ministry of Environment, the Port of Durrës, etc. It is a deep corruption story. At the critical point when the Prosecution was ready, there was pure political influence to make this a secondary issue to influence the investigation.
One of the officials of the Port of Durrës has informed by official email that there was smuggling or traffic with waste that was forbidden to be exported abroad. Despite this signal that the owners of the Port were aware of, the Albanian government and Albanian politics are very concerned. There are within the investigation group interested in getting to the bottom of it.
The remains have been sent, they belong to Kurumi, a company supported by both parties, what did he do? He tried to capture the most important part of the media and tried to influence the Prosecutor's Office.
No institution has sent the list of experts and no samples have been taken for analysis of what is in the container. The only option not to be influenced are foreign experts and analysis abroad. Not only Albanian laws have been violated, but there is a history of violation of international laws, this history has very serious consequences", said Lala in the show "The Unexposed".
While the analyst Andi Bushati spoke about the almost complete silence of the media, some of which urgently received advertisements from Kurum after the scandal.
"The test for the role of these companies like Kurum is how protected they are when a scandal happens to them. How much they manage to remove the news, pretend the thing didn't happen, precisely the case of Kurum is not the typical case of a company with political support of both sides, but it has the power to undo the news. It was talked about for 2-3 days and then I don't know... More than Kurum shows the decay of our system and compromising with the truth," said Bushati.
