The "fictitious" audit by the government, the tender for the company linked to Minister Malaj, and the four-year delay of SPAK are turning the AZHBR scandal into one of the most sophisticated operations to suppress an OLAF report in the name of "reform" and justice captured...
In June 2021, the European Union, through the Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), filed a criminal complaint with SPAK against the former director of AZHBR, Frida Krifca, and her subordinates, for abuse of EU funds for farmers. Instead of reacting to this complaint, just three months later, in September 2021, Edi Rama appointed Frida Krifca as Minister of Agriculture, ignoring OLAF's notification and the report with documented facts.
To this day, SPAK has not finalized the investigation, even though four years have passed. This behavior raises strong suspicions that the file is being buried, with guarantees given by Altin Dumani. Meanwhile, the government is preparing another maneuver to "close" administratively this affair denounced by Brussels.
According to the official announcement dated July 21, 2025, the Ministry of Finance has launched a tender worth 448 thousand euros for an external audit of IPARD II funds, which are the subject of an OLAF complaint. This initiative has been entrusted to the German company "FTI Consulting", which has had previous connections with Minister Petrit Malaj himself, appointed on May 11 as a deputy through the closed list by Edi Rama.
Although internal audits of these funds have been conducted in the past by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance themselves, which did not find any problems, the OLAF and EUROJUST investigation revealed illegal benefits worth millions of euros. For this reason, the report to SPAK was a serious action and motivated by concrete evidence, but which has not yet received proper treatment.
Moreover, the contract with the German company, signed on December 30, 2024, has not been implemented. The Ministry of Finance has recently announced the renewal of the contract with absurd justifications: logistical delays, changes in the structure of the authorizing office and translations with artificial intelligence. In reality, these are pretexts to gain time and drag out the issue, in order to quietly close the scandal that also involves the current builder of the towers and hotels, Frida Krifca.
The audit of IPARD funds by the Albanian government itself is essentially invalid, because these funds are controlled only by European institutions. The implementation of this local audit, in the conditions when there is an official OLAF report to SPAK, is nothing more than an attempt by the government to close the abuse file, as was done with Ilir Beqje./ Pamphlet
