Klodian Braho has a single test ahead of him that cannot be hidden behind procedures: will he really implement the "follow the money" principle, following the flow of money from drugs, corruption, illegal gambling and fraudulent call centers to construction, or will dirty money continue to climb the ranks, under the protection of the government...?
The construction sector in Albania is no longer driven by the need for housing, population growth or real market demand, but by money that seeks to lose its origin, disappear from sight and turn into real estate, because concrete absorbs large sums and quickly turns them into legal, registered and protected property.
In the last two years, the state has granted dozens of permits for towers and hundreds of permits for buildings over eight floors, while wages, bank lending, savings, and the formal economy do not come close to the capital required by this volume of construction, creating a brutal gap between what is declared and what is built, a gap that is not filled by the market, but by money without a legal source.
Drug money is not stored in the dark and does not circulate outside the system, but requires sectors that quickly absorb it and turn it into visible wealth, and construction performs this function perfectly through the purchase of land, administrative approval, invoicing of works, fictitious subcontracting and the sale of apartments, distributing criminal money in a chain of documents that makes its origin invisible.
Corruption, on the other hand, feeds this mechanism, because bribes, inflated tenders, manipulated contracts, and sold administrative decisions are not kept in cash and are not hidden in anonymous accounts, but are poured into construction projects that give wealth a legal alibi, transforming the government into a co-financier of the concrete.
Illegal betting and unlicensed gambling generate large amounts of cash every day, without receipts and without control, and construction serves as the easiest gateway to introduce this money into the economy through the purchase of apartments, financing projects, or using construction companies as financial laundries.
The same scheme also includes the phenomenon of fraudulent call centers, which produce large cash flows every day from international financial fraud, crypto-schemes and fictitious investments, money that cannot remain in informal circulation for long and that quickly ends up in real estate through intermediaries, apartment purchases, financing construction projects or the use of shell companies, directly linking digital fraud to concrete and adding another clear source of dirty money that requires serious financial investigation.
Added to these are smuggling, tax evasion and other criminal activities that do not require sophisticated structures to clean up, because a building permit, a shell company and a series of transactions that no one follows up on until the end are enough, turning construction into the most protected sector of illegal money.
The problem does not lie in the existence of towers as urban objects, but in the fact that they function as a financial instrument for money laundering, where no one demands a real accounting for the source of funds, for the reconciliation between investments and balance sheets, for the use of cash, and for the reason why such large sums move without leaving an economic trace.
In this reality, the leadership of Klodian Braho at the head of SPAK is not measured by statements or beautifully written platforms, but by a simple and obvious fact, whether or not the constructions that today function as a safe haven for drug money, corruption, and illegal gambling will be affected, because whoever actually enters construction automatically enters the heart of the criminal economy.
A simple search in the media is enough to find clues to hundreds of cases where construction appears as a meeting point for suspicious money, projects with costs that do not match the balance sheets, companies without financial history receiving permits for towers, apartment sales that are not justified by the income of the buyers, and ownership chains that change quickly to lose track, clues that are public, documented, and repeated, but that rarely turn into full financial investigations.
There is no need for promises or political messages, because the evidence is there, open and readable for anyone who asks, and what is expected from SPAK under the leadership of Klodian Braho is only one concrete thing, so that these clues do not remain in drawers, but are turned into criminal files that affect the source of the money and not just the surface of the concrete. /Pamphlet
Kush dreqin ua jep keto mend me kaq llogari te imta baske me bankat. Po vete Anglia pse nuk kapet te hetoje Tony Blair qe perdoret si agjensi konsulence ligjore mbi te gjitha edhe per normativat e BEs.

Igli! Sepse Toni Bler është rrobaqepsi që preu, qepi dhe i veshi 'kostumin politik' qeverisë të rilindjes të Edi Ramës.
