SPAK seizes Ilir Beqaj's apartment in Vlora

The apartment of the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj, in Vlora has been seized by GJKKO, by order of SPAK.

GJKKO has seized an apartment of the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj, located in Lungomare, Vlora.

It is about an apartment with an area of ​​90.8 m2, a veranda area of ​​61.2 m2 and a common area of ​​13.7 m2, located in the area of ​​Lungomare, and all of which have been placed under preventive seizure.

In July 2024, BKH agents checked this Beqaj property in Vlora, where they obtained valuable data for the investigation.

According to SPAK, this property and the expenses/investments made for its furnishing do not turn out to have been declared according to the legislation in force by Ilir Beqaj or the persons related to him.

"In 2016, with the order contract concluded between the construction company R...K... shpk and the citizen IF, the apartment was booked in the amount of 6,700,000 (six million and seven hundred thousand) ALL.

In 2017, the investment and furnishing of the apartment started by Ilir Beqaj and his wife, a process which lasted until the beginning of 2019. According to the appraisal report, the total value invested is up to 5,064,700 (five million sixty four thousand seven hundred) ALL.

In February 2020, a lease contract was signed between citizen IF (close social connection of Ilir Beqaj) and AB (wife of Ilir Beqaj). Despite this fact, it turned out that Ilir Beqaj and his family members freely possessed the property and behaved as owners of the real estate until the beginning of 2019", announces SPAK.

According to the Special Prosecutor's Office, all these facts in their entirety prove the existence of reasonable doubt on the fictitiousness of the legal action, with the aim of hiding the origin of the property.

Former minister Ilir Beqaj is arrested for abusing SASPAC funds for the period when he was head of the Foreign Funds Coordination Agency.

It is about the abuses of at least 8 procurements, among which a tender for the closing ceremony of sustainable tourism, where the fund made available was very high. According to SPAK, this party took place in the restaurant where Beqaj and his wife had 15% of the shares, which they then sold or donated.

The investigation into the discovery of this scheme by SPAK started in parallel with the sterilization file where the former Minister of Health is also accused of abuse of office.
