The Albanian authorities have begun to delay the investigations into the abuses of IPARD funds. Although the government says that OLAF has not yet submitted the full report, in fact the whole thing is a fraud.
At the end of August, the European Anti-Fraud Office submitted the report to the responsible authority in the Ministry of Agriculture, requesting that investigations continue in order to bring to justice the perpetrators who stole the millions allocated by the EU for
In a reaction to the media, the OLAF office has stated that it does not make the report public, but expects the Albanian authorities to complete the investigation based on their findings.
" In this case, investigations continue. OLAF closed the investigation in August 2023 and communicated its conclusions to the competent authority with recommendations for the initiation of appropriate procedures. OLAF has received simultaneous information from the competent authority that has not yet completed the follow-up.
OLAF considers that the period that has passed between the date of the transmission of the report to the competent authority and the date of this response should be considered as reasonable considering the final closure of the case", states the clarification of the OLAF office to "Monitor " .
So in short, OLAF has requested that the Albanian authorities, more precisely the control groups in the Ministry of Agriculture and AZHBR, go further with the investigations, given that OLAF only takes care not to lose funds, while they send the Albanian authorities to justice. But it seems that now the maneuvers have started.
However, despite the fact that the government has blocked the administrative investigation, SPAK on the other hand is conducting a criminal investigation and the bells are ringing for Frida Krifca. AZHBR was directed by her when the abuses occurred and it seems that she will be the first to bear criminal responsibility.
