The garbage mafia in Elbasan: "Eco-Alb" embezzled over 4 billion lek

Leli Kraja's company has benefited millions from the 8 municipalities of the district, but the garbage is burned in broad daylight and the residents are poisoned...

A scandal of huge proportions has occurred in Elbasan. While the prime minister comes out boasting and supporting incinerators, Elbasan is living proof of how billions are stolen from citizens' taxes and in the end they are the ones who suffer.

Just two days after officials from the Municipality of Elbasan and surrounding municipalities were summoned to the prosecutor's office, the "mountain" of garbage suddenly caught fire.

The scandal is made worse by the fact that the company "Eco-ALb", which manages the incinerator, has received millions from surrounding municipalities every year for the collection and treatment of waste. It has not done any treatment, this because the incinerator has been off more than on.

But this has not stopped the company from raking in billions. It is learned that throughout 2022, 2023, 2024 and the first five months of 2025, the 8 municipalities of the region have paid over 4 billion lek into the company's account.

The Municipality of Elbasan has carried out a total of 239 banking transactions with a total value of over 2 billion and 442 million old lekë.

The Municipality of Gramsh has carried out 72 transactions with "Eco-Elb" worth 209 million old lekë. While the Municipality of Librazhd has carried out 65 transactions worth 265 million old lekë.

The Municipality of Prrenjas has carried out 71 transactions with 223 million old lek. While the Municipality of Cërrik has carried out 71 transactions towards "Eco-Elb" with a total value of over 308 million old lek.

Also involved in transactions for a partially completed service is the municipality of Belsh, which has completed 72 transactions worth over 198 million old lek. It was followed by the municipality of Peqin with 66 transactions, worth 298 million old lek.

The last is the municipality of Rogozhina, which has carried out 12 transactions with a financial value of 187 million lek towards the company "Eco-Elb".

Article 4 of the Object of the Contract concluded between the administrator of "Eco-Elb" Leli Kraja and the 8 Legal Directorates of the municipalities in the Elbasan region, provides for the acceptance of waste, its collection, treatment and subsequent burning through the incineration plant.

All 4 of these services, according to the contract, were to be provided by the company "Eco-Alb". While the 8 municipalities were to pay from their budgets every month for these 4 services.

The first three processes, such as reception, collection, and treatment that provides for their sorting, have been carried out for almost 4 years by the company, while incineration has hardly been offered as a service at all.

This is because, according to the company "Eco-Elb", the incineration plant had a defect and remained closed for most of the time.

In 2022, the waste incineration plant operated for only 24 days due to defects. In 2023, the plant operated for only approximately 7 months. In 2024 and 5 months of 2025, the incineration plant did not operate at all.

The prosecution has launched investigations into this affair, but it seems that everything is moving at a slow pace. A few days ago, the legal directors and several finance chiefs of the municipalities of Elbasan, Gramsh, Librazhd, Prrenjas, Cërrik, Belsh, Peqin and Rogozhinë were summoned to the prosecution. But only 3 out of 10 summoned appeared, defying the law. Now it seems that they want to hide the traces of the crime and burn the garbage in broad daylight and in the heat. /Pamphlet
