The ban comes after an administrative proceeding for submitting documentation with false data.
The Public Procurement Agency has excluded the company "Information Business System-IBS" shpk, owned by Darin Gëzdari, from the right to win public contracts for 12 months.
The PPA adopted the decision no. 10, dated 2 March 2026, following the conclusion of an administrative proceeding initiated upon the request of the Transmission System Operator. The OST requested the exclusion of the company on the grounds that it had submitted documentation with false data in a procurement procedure, in violation of Article 78, point 1, letter “a” of the Public Procurement Law.
According to the PPA's assessment, the case meets the legal conditions for exclusion. The measure enters into force from the date of adoption of the decision and prohibits the company from participating in public tenders and contracts for a period of one year.
In December 2024, the Tirana Prosecution Office arrested Darin Gëzdari and Arlinda Marku on charges of money laundering. According to the prosecution, they organized a bank transfer scheme through companies registered in jurisdictions such as Cyprus, Gibraltar and Malta. The investigation revealed that the funds were transferred to companies established in Albania and then transferred to Canada.
The prosecution stated that in the period 2021-2022 the two suspects laundered over 11 million euros. The court released Gëzdari after arrest, while the criminal proceedings continue. The prosecution has communicated the charges and the case is expected to be sent for trial.
