SPAK has extended the investigation deadlines for the mayor of Kolonja, Erion Isai, and 5 other municipal officials by three months, until February. Isai is accused of the criminal offense of "violation of equality of participants in tenders or public auctions", "abuse of office" and "falsification of documents".
The entire group was taken into custody by SPAK in connection with two tenders, the Korçë-Ersekë road and the Kolonjë Water Supply.
We recall that the tender for the Korçë-Ersekë road, part of which collapsed as soon as it was built, caused Mayor Isai to be summoned to SPAK for the first time in May 2023. He had stated that the Municipality does not conduct tenders, but it was revealed that the issue was related to the design of the road, in which the mayor had an active role.
Among the defendants is the road design firm A&E ENGINEERING, owned by Entela Çano, which is suspected of having ties to Isai.
Entela Çano's company was also the supervisor of the works, which would guarantee the quality of the works.
It won the tender for almost the limit fund worth almost 200 thousand euros. A & E ENGINEERING, turns out to be the supervisor of many large works carried out almost always by the same construction firms.
The construction of this road was carried out by the company "ANK", while the procurer is the Albanian Road Authority. In 2022, over two billion lek were allocated from the state budget for the Second Lot, or 21 million euros.
In addition to the communications of the accusations, SPAK is continuing investigations into the role of ARRSH as the tendering authority and the ANK company that won the tender and carried out the works on the Korçë-Ersekë road. This construction company is owned by Agim Kola, brother of former SP MP, Ndue Kola.
The Korca-Ersekë road section collapsed during construction at a location called 'Qafa e Qarrit-Mollas'. Just a few days after the collapse, a lawsuit was filed by Korca lawyer Esmerald Xhafa, accusing two companies, the Municipality of Kolonjë and the Albanian Road Authority.
