Theft of public property in Saranda: People in power and politicians involved, the prosecution silent
Saranda – A serious file that speaks of a clear robbery of public property, in the heart of the city of Saranda, continues to remain locked in the drawers of the city's Prosecutor's Office for more than five years. While its perpetrators walk free and the key figures involved in this affair are protected by a thick wall of silence and corruption.
At the center of this scheme of forgery and appropriation of public property are three names: Sevo Qurku, Andrea Qurku and Sali Çapari, who are suspected of having, in collaboration with senior officials of state institutions and through forged documents, benefited from a strategically located real estate in the center of Saranda.
Sevo and Andrea Qurku are brothers and relatives of Termet Peçi, former mayor of Tepelena and candidate for deputy. Their family and political connections are suspected of having served as a "guarantee" for the closure and delay of this criminal process.
Another central figure in this scheme is Ardi Kola, former director of ASHK Saranda (State Cadastral Agency), who signed and legalized the forged documents that paved the way for the registration of public property in the name of private citizens.
For a short period, Ardi Kola was declared wanted by court order, but inexplicably and suspiciously, the file against him was archived without any in-depth investigation, raising serious suspicions of strong political and financial interference.
More scandalous than the theft itself is the way the Saranda Prosecutor's Office has remained silent in the face of this documented crime. The file is in the hands of Prosecutor Valbona Maja, who for more than five years has not taken any legal measures, neither for property seizure, nor for arrest, nor for sending to court.
Sources close to the justice institutions have stated that there is a strong suspicion that Prosecutor Maja was "bought" by the persons in question, in order to stop the investigations and to silence the Prosecution Office in this matter.
Instead of enforcing the law and bringing to justice those responsible for the theft of public property, the prosecutor has turned a blind eye, allowing a flagrant injustice to continue unpunished.
In conditions where local justice is paralyzed and trapped, attention now falls on SPAK.
SPAK is called upon to act on all cases where local justice fails due to shady connections with politics and high-level corruption. The Saranda case is a concrete test of SPAK's integrity and efficiency.
The question that is forcefully raised is: Will SPAK investigate prosecutor Valbona Maja for corruption and abuse of office? Will the closed file against Ardi Kola be opened? Will Termet Peçi's role in this affair that is holding the public property of Albanian citizens hostage be revealed?
While corrupt officials and those close to power enjoy public property obtained through fraud, the citizens of Saranda and beyond demand justice that is not feared, not sold out, and not silenced.
This is no longer just a local scandal. This is a clear picture of state capture, where power is used to protect the interests of a handful of people, to the detriment of the whole of society. /Pamphlet
