As the director appointed by the Gangs of Elbasan, he is carrying out unlicensed and illegal non-banking financial activities with money, currency and electronic money; to collect, hide, launder and transfer millions of dollars from crime, trafficking and corruption, turning the Albanian Post into a "laundry machine" with a state logo and shield...
A few days ago, we published facts about the appointment of Ardit Demir, Director of the Albanian Post Office with influence from the Elbasan gangs, and about the economic, financial and property crimes he has committed over 11 years in the Municipality, Employment Office, Prefecture, Dormitories and the Elbasan Post Office.
Today we are publishing concrete evidence of the atrocities that Ardit Demiri, General Director of the Albanian Post, has been committing since October 2022 when he was appointed until now with tenders, disappearance of Post's revenues, and financial crimes covered by the anti-mafia law.
According to the reports of the Internal Audit of the Albanian Post and the reports of the Ministry of Finance, it turns out that 10 days after being appointed director on October 26, 2022, Ardit Demiri changed and increased by 50-80% the limit funds of 45 tenders that were in the process of drafting and announcing, and made financial additions of 40-60% for tenders in progress.
In December 2022, Director Ardit Demiri drafted a plan with 83 parallel fictitious tenders for 2023, not planned in the Albanian Post budget, with the object of investments in offices, Post buildings, purchase of equipment, furniture, internet, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, stationery, electronic services, etc.; 58 of which were overlaps with contracts in progress.
According to the document dated January 10, 2024, Director Ardit Demiri concocted, planned, announced and developed 42 fictitious tenders outside the Post's budget planning, for investments, purchases and services that were made in the years 2022-2023.
Some of the fictitious tenders he has announced, even with funds 1-2 times higher than market prices:
- Purchase of furniture 346 thousand Euros; purchase of vehicles 248 thousand Euros; internet 470 thousand Euros; maintenance of the foreign exchange office 70 thousand Euros; maintenance of the Data Center 210 thousand Euros; production of postage stamps 220 thousand Euros; license for remote access 302 thousand Euros; maintenance for "Hybrid Mail" 140 thousand Euros and millions more, according to the documents we are publishing.
These tenders were awarded to companies owned by Edi Rama's relatives and friends, ministers and former ministers, oligarchs and businesses that finance the Socialist Party and give bribes to director Ardit Demiri and some "key" members of the Albanian Post's commission and board.
The atrocity committed by director Ardit Demiri, with fictitious tenders on the Post's budget planning, was approved by the board members, who, not coincidentally, are senior government officials.
The board members are Endrit Yzeiraj, Deputy Minister of Economy, Culture and Innovation; Hantin Bonati, Deputy Minister of Energy and Infrastructure; Irena Malolli, Director of Post and Telecommunications at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure; Vikrita Çuto, Director of Human Resources, Assets and Services at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.
So it is a vicious circle that allows the Director of the Albanian Post Office, Ardit Demiri, to commit thefts that surpass the theft records of previous directors.
In addition to tenders, director Ardit Demiri has disappeared the files of the financial activity of the former state-owned company "Interpost Sh.pk", which was merged into the Albanian Post, but income from international postal services continues to disappear, not being reflected in the balance sheet.
On July 8, 2020, the State Bank granted the Post a license for non-banking foreign exchange activities and the issuance, use and circulation of electronic money, with License No. 3 and Reference No. 3182.
But the State Bank revoked its license on July 30, 2021, following a report by SHISH, the Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering and the Anti-Mafia Office, that the Post was carrying out illegal non-banking financial activities with lek, currency and electronic money; circulating, hiding, laundering and transferring millions of dollars from crime, trafficking and corruption, turning the Albanian Post into a "laundry machine" with a state logo and shield.
But although the Albanian Post has had its license for non-banking activities revoked, director Ardit Demiri is illegally continuing this activity, using foreign exchange, Lek, USD, Euro and electronic currency and transfers with sources of crime, trafficking and corruption.
