Cartel of suspicious companies and associations..
The University College Canadian Institute of Technology operates as a money laundering machine, mixing and diverting donations from Qatar and Kuwait, student money, and other funds into dark pockets.
The suspicious activity under the noses of law enforcement institutions begins with the alienation of the building in Porcelan, Tirana, an asset worth millions of euros, the product of donations, which ended up in the hands of Ramiz Zekaj for only 900 thousand lek.
The dark connections extend from Tirana to Doha, Qatar, where the protagonist appears as Professor Ramiz Zekaj, a character who has fraudulently embezzled millions of euros worth of assets from donations from Qatar and Kuwait, including a college, a printing house, charitable organization premises, villas, apartments, shops, etc.
Through the brothers Rasim and Enver Zekaj, as well as other close people, Ramiz Zekaj controls a cartel of companies from Prishtina, Peja, Tirana and Durrës, with suspicious activity, circulating millions of euros and laundering money with fictitious invoices. CIT, LOBI TECHNOLOGY shpk, Zekaj shpk, ALIND & KRAJA, Zekaj Alb Group, INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION, HERITAGE AND TOURISM, ALBANIAN INSTITUTE OF THOUGHT AND CIVILIZATION ISLAM, Organic Medicinal Herb, Mileniumi i Ri, Mileniumi i Ri 2, Media Kontakt, SKY GENERAL TRADING and Shoqata Gruaja are just part of Ramiz Zekaj's cartel of companies and associations with suspicious activity.
How the Canadian Institute of Technology was acquired
In 2011, the “TALM – Albania” society was founded in Tirana, with the aim of working in the field of education, culture, upbringing, training, research and scientific application, as a branch of the TALM Group in Doha, Qatar. The place of activity is the former Block, Zayed Center, an organization with a religious character. The University College “Canadian Institute of Technology” in Tirana is also an asset of this society.
Hamad Ben Abdennabi, a Tunisian with suspicious activity in Albania, was authorized to register the company. The owner of TALM Group in Doha, Qatar, is Gabim bin Saad AL Saad, founder of several organizations in Doha and an entrepreneur in the field of real estate.
In September 2012, the company's name was changed from "TALM - Albania" to "CIT". In 2013, Ganem Bin Saad Maged Al Saad Al Kuwari appeared. TALM Group in Doha, Qatar, donated the company in Tirana to CIT, which camouflages the Canadian Institute, Ganem Bin Saad Maged Al Saad Al Kuwari.
In August 2019, Ramiz Zekaj appears, who buys the CIT company for a ridiculous value, for 900 thousand lek, from Ganem Bin Saad Maged Al Saad Al Kuwari, also taking ownership of the Canadian Institute of Technology University College building in Tirana.
An estate worth millions of euros passed into the hands of orientalist and Islamic jurisprudence scholar Ramiz Zekaj for 900 thousand lekë. Ramiz Zekaj is placed at the head of the school. The Canadian Institute carries out non-transparent and highly suspicious activities.
The Canadian Institute of Technology in Tirana with president Ramiz Zekajn is not the only asset that camouflages the company founded as a branch of TALM Group in Doha, Qatar.
How the printing house in Xhafzotaj, Durrës, embezzled millions of euros
This building in Xhafzotaj, Durrës, which functions as a printing house, worth millions of euros, is another asset that was the product of shady donations from Qatar and Kuwait. The asset was acquired by Professor Ramiz Zekaj, transferring it to the name of his wife Ndriçime Zekaj and is administered by his brother Rasim Zekaj, who is being investigated for economic crimes by Kosovo law enforcement authorities.
The building is camouflaged with the NEW MILENIUM 2 foundation, which has circulated large amounts of donations in a complete lack of transparency. Through this foundation, with ties to the Canadian Institute, hundreds of thousands of euros are laundered every year, while the printing house carries out a formal activity to cover up the money laundering.
More specifically, in September 2016, the MILENIUM I RI 2 foundation was established, with the aim of producing printing materials and custom packaging.
The foundation is owned by the company Sky General Trading (52%), Mileniumi i Ri (40%) and Rasim Zekaj, Ramiz Zekaj's brother, with 8% of the shares, who is also the administrator.
The owner of the company Mileniumi i Ri, which has 40% of the shares of the foundation that camouflages the printing press worth millions of euros, is Ndriçime Zekaj, the wife of Ramiz Zekaj. Mrs. Zekaj, who has been the target of theft several times because of the amounts of cash she keeps in her apartment, also controls other foundations, including the Gruaja association, which circulates suspicious money.
Mileniumi i Ri was founded in 2003 and its main activity is printing, but also construction of buildings. Mileniumi i Ri, which has circulated dark money from donations, is the thread through which the Zekaj group controls Mileniumi i Ri 2, an asset worth millions of euros, always the product of dark donations.
Meanwhile, the company SKY GENERAL TRADING, which has the majority of shares in Mileniumi i Ri 2, operates as a real estate agency, laundering donation money into real estate.
Not coincidentally, the administrator of the SKY GENERAL TRADING company turns out to be Rasim Zekaj, brother of Ramiz Zekaj, a key figure in the circulation of money and the management of assets resulting from dark donations.
Radio, shops and associations
'Godfather' Ramiz Zekaj controls the religious radio station 'Kontakt', a network of shops, villas, buildings and the Women's Association, all camouflaged in the name of his daughter and wife, Mrs. Ndriçime Zekaj.
Both the Gruaja association and the radio are products of donations from Arab countries and circulate hundreds of thousands of dubious euros. The media and the association also expose a network of shops, with extremely dubious sources, owned by Ramiz Zekaj's cronies.
Rasim Zekaj file for extortion of agricultural money in Kosovo, corruption and illegal villas
While in Albania Rasim Zekaj manages assets worth millions of euros as a result of donations from Qatar and Kuwait, assets alienated by his brother Ramiz Zekaj, in Kosovo Rasim Zekaj has a corruption file and theft of agricultural funds in 2020. According to the file of fraud with agricultural development funds, Rasim Zekaj, through his company, Organic Herbs Kosova, has benefited from public money to plant medicinal plants, but has diverted the money by building villas without permission in Stankaj, Peja.
In the request for his arrest, the Kosovo Prosecution emphasized in the file that Rasim Zekaj, through the company "Organic Herbs Shpk", has benefited from subsidies for medicinal and aromatic plants - organic farming, but in reality a large part of the area had been planted with alfalfa, which is used as livestock feed and based on the 2020 direct payment program, this agricultural crop does not appear at all on the list of medicinal and aromatic plants.
According to the criminal file, Rasim Zekaj has fraudulently benefited from tens of thousands of euros from public funds allocated for agriculture, while he is accused of corrupting several officials by giving them bribes. In order to extort public money, Rasim Zekaj has given thousands of euros in bribes to officials related to subsidies, specifically two inspectors Bekim Bruqi and Blerim Mulliqi, as well as the director of AZHB, Luan Statovci, who was arrested in 2021.
Statovci has accepted various amounts of money (bribes) from various people in order to include them on the list of beneficiaries for subsidies. In one case, during wiretaps, Statovci is heard saying that he has in his possession the amount of 600,000 euros and was making plans to buy an apartment worth between 200,000 and 300,000 euros. During the raids, approximately 433,160 euros, 600 dollars, 200 francs, 275 Turkish liras, 15 phones, 8 cars, a computer, five weapons, a USB and a stamp were seized.
Meanwhile, Rasim Zekaj, according to the file of theft of money for agriculture, has built villas without permission on public property, in the tourist area called Stankaj. He has built the villas on agricultural land. Through the villas, Zekaj is suspected of having laundered public money stolen through fraud as well as donation money.
How the Zekaj brothers launder donation money in Albania
Evidence, documents, transactions and a diplomatic testimony show that brothers Ramiz and Rasim Zekaj are behind the implementation of a criminal scheme to launder money from murky donations from Kuwait and Qatar into real estate from Tirana to Pristina, under the guise of charity and religious lectures, through a cartel of foundations and real estate companies.
Millions of euros embezzled through fictitious projects were invested in buildings, villas, shops, apartments, etc., assets which were then transferred to the name of Ramiz Zekaj and his family members, through false contracts, donations, and various maneuvers.
Nawaf Mohamed Ali Humoud Fawaz and Ganem Bin Saad Maged Al Saad Al Kuwari from Qatar are two of Ramiz Zekaj's partners and key figures in the misappropriation of assets from donations and charitable associations. The suspected criminal activity has been carried out under the nose of Albanian law enforcement institutions, especially intelligence services.
Shkrim jo profesional. Shkruesi mund te kene te drejte por ku i ka provat qe ti mbeshtetin te gjitha keto qe shkrujne. Shkrimi pa prova eshte i pabesushem, dyshohet si i paguam i porosit. I shkrujt ne zyre nga refimi i porositsit dhe jo nga provat e zbuluara nga investigimi. Akuzat jane shum te renda. Prokuroria duhet te hetoj. Te ndaje te vertetn nga sajimi dhe te veproj sipas parashtreses qe parasheh ligji. Kemi te bejm me abuzime me pronat publike te shqiptarve jo veç me donacionet dhe pastrimin e pareve te pista nga katari.
