From stolen land deals to construction permits secured in government-controlled municipalities, everything is part of a well-structured money laundering network.
Shkëlqim Beshiri, known as Shkëlzen Berisha's "laundryman", has transformed the construction industry in Albania into a massive money laundering scheme. With dozens of construction permits obtained in Tirana, Durrës, Lalz, Vlorë, Himarë, Saranda, Lezhë and Shkodër, this businessman has built his empire on dubious financing that has never passed through the banking system.
The evidence is there: Shkelzeni's vast wealth, his direct ties to Beshir, and the billions flowing into the construction sector through well-known corruption schemes. From the looted land deals to the building permits secured in government-controlled municipalities, everything is part of a well-structured money laundering network.
A blatant case that highlights this scheme is the firm "LIM-EM Sh.pk", which on paper appears to be owned by Shkëlqim Beshiri, but in reality is simply a facade for Shkëlzen Berisha. For three years in a row, this company has reported tax losses, but ironically has secured over 40 construction permits from various municipalities.
With Edi Rama's signature, Beshiri has secured three building permits for hotels on the coast and a 119-hectare construction complex in Lalzi Bay. Also, with Rama's signature, Shkëlqim Beshiri has obtained a permit for a 65-story tower on ''Bulevardi i Ri''.
This open favoritism by the state is a clear indication that Berisha and Rama are not real enemies, but simply players in the same scheme.
To disguise his connections with construction, Shkëlqim Beshiri continues to appear as a modest businessman with cafes "Segafredo" and "Bar-KLAR&COFFEE" in Tirana. But ironically, it is precisely in these premises, according to the payments of the State Treasury, that the leaders of the Prevention-Money Laundering hold meetings with foreign officials of the US-EU Economic Anti-Mafia. A paradox that shows how the Albanian justice pretends to fight crime, but in reality helps those who launder billions of corruption.
How long will this farce continue? Will SPAK dare to investigate Shkelqim Beshiri and the schemes that keep the Berisha clan alive? Or will we continue to see how Albania is turning into the largest money laundering machine of political corruption? /Pamphlet
