Shkruar nga PamfletiWith empty balance sheets and fictitious turnover, three companies with no income are building as if they had billions. They have taken Tirana with permission, the coast with strategic status...
In July 2024, the National Territorial Council gave the green light to one of the largest construction projects of the decade: the construction of a tourist resort with two 5-star hotels, a large residential area and a commercial space in the heart of Lëkurës in Saranda. According to official documents, the value of this investment is 447.1 million euros. But the fundamental question that arises before every citizen is this: who are these “investors” who promise to build a half-billion-euro project in one of the most strategic areas of the country, and above all; with what money?
In the official decision of the KKT, the resort in Lëkurës is listed as a “Strategic Investment”, with the development companies TDT & Partners and Techno-ALB, owned by brothers Dajlan Avdia and Glendi Abdi. The same individuals are behind a frightening bunch of other construction projects approved during 2024, all in areas with extraordinary financial potential.
Within a period of less than 12 months , this duo has received building permits for:
100-storey tower on Barricade Street (Techno-ALB + Delta)
“Im Rezidence” in the Commune of Paris (TDT & Partners)
16-storey building on Fortuzi Street (TDT & Partners)
Resort in Kroreza Bay (Invest Society)
Resort in Lëkurës (TDT & Partners + Techno-ALB)
Let's take a look at the companies involved, based only on the official financial statements they have submitted to the Central Bank.
Techno-ALB SHPK, with NIPT K71822006R , results in 2024 having zero income from construction activity. The only amount listed as “other income” is 328 thousand lek, less than a two-week rent on the beach of Ksamil. Meanwhile, in the same year, this company declares that it has capitalized 1.89 billion lek as investments in the construction process and another 484 million as deferred expenses. But this is not money paid, it is simply values that are hidden under the term “in process”, to keep the value on the balance sheet high. In the bank, Techno-ALB has less than 500 thousand lek. Only two declared employees. There are no sales contracts. There is no cash flow. There are only papers.
The same situation occurs with TDT & Partners SHPK (NIPT L61814005P) . This company declares over 681 million lek in sales for 2024, but ends with a net profit of only 5.2 million lek, less than 1% of turnover. In the bank, there is only 5 million lek in cash. The monetary outflow from the activity is minus 87 million lek. The entire “economy” of the company is based on fictitious receivables, over 1 billion lek in notes, which have never been converted into tangible money. This is the model of an entity that exists only to administer land, to hold permits, to buy time; not to build.
Invest Society SHPK , the company that will build the resort in Krorez, has a similar story. Its declared income is 132 million lek, while the cost of materials exceeds this amount. Surprisingly, even though it has an operating loss, it declares an accounting profit of 41 million lek. In cash? Only 9.3 million. And again: over half a billion lek in receivables on paper.
The three companies together do not have more than 15 million lek in the bank. None has a declared credit line, none has bank financing, none has an agreement for co-financing or support from international companies. But all three together own the Albanian coast and have permission in hand to build a significant part of the resorts and towers for the next 10 years.
The scandal takes on a new dimension when it is realized that the Lëkurës Castle is also included in the construction project. Although by official decision of the Albanian Government (No. 501, dated August 24, 2023), this state property should have been returned to the Ministry of Culture, it continues to remain in the hands of a well-known trafficker, Andrea Çaushi, who uses it for unregistered business activities. In reality, the castle is being held hostage to be later included in the resort built by Avdia, silently "chewing" a national asset as if it were abandoned territory.
At the end of the day, there are only two logical options:
Either these companies have no plans to invest anything and are simply taking over Albania's properties, coastline, and strategic assets like "the land of the rich," or we are dealing with a pure money laundering scheme at the highest levels of power.
In any case, Albania is being built by companies that do not build, is being developed by companies that do not develop, and is being "advanced" by names that in any other country would be under criminal investigation. And as long as state structures provide land, permission and silence, what appears to be economic growth is nothing more than a robbery with a signature and a stamp.
Compared to this affair, incinerators will seem like "flowers". Here, funds are not disappearing, but the coast is being robbed with state permission. /Pamphlet
