These arrests are worth more to fill the reporting sheets for the European Commission and the State Department, so that in the next report there will be some good words about Justice...
Even the recent arrests have not increased confidence in the new Justice. According to the Justice statistics, the General Secretary of the Ministry of Health and the former member of the SP presidency who was mayor of Durrës for 12 years, are big blows against corruption, but for those who expect justice for the millions of corruption, they are just tricks to convince the public.
It seems like a trick when the Justice Department starts from the idea of the uproar that would be caused by the arrest of a former official or official. Even worse, it looks like a trick when the criminal offense he is accused of happened 12 years ago and may have been statute-barred.
Even worse when the damage done to the State does not exceed 180 million old lek, while the Supreme State Control reports hundreds of millions of euros per year, and even worse, when the arrest of an official on duty is for a tender 6 million old lek.
These cases show that Justice chooses, it goes to those who have little or no political protection, or to former leaders who left with understanding and have not been on the side of the Prime Minister for some time. It chooses small, minimal-damage issues that minimize the idea of government corruption, while pretending to fight it. With the figures that the arrested are being investigated, anyone would think that these levels of abuse are far from those written in international or national reports, that the perception of corruption is wrong and we have a government that delivers its people to justice even for such mistakes small. SPAK is acting as a trickster for a government that has broken all records by being the first in the Balkans for corruption, according to Transparency International.
A big case, like that of the Incinerators, could serve as an alibi for SPAK, which is also dealing with millions, which has arrested a minister and a deputy and is accusing them of millions of euros of corruption. From the outside, it looks like a perfect alibi, but if you go inside the case, you realize that the anti-corruption prosecutors have not even investigated what they themselves suspected, the illegal procedure that was followed for the approval of the Elbasan incinerator.
If he followed the procedure, there would not be a former minister and a former general secretary in handcuffs when they joined the LSI, but the highest State officials, if what is happening in the Tirana landfill were to be investigated, would not to have an investigation for 3 million euros of corruption, but for almost 100 million, which is not known where they went.
When SPAK stays away from hot issues and big names with current power, no one is convinced that the arrest of Vangjush Dako is justice, even more so when the accusation that is communicated is very insignificant in the face of public concern.
A justice that informs the Prime Minister in the best case, or all the media and then forces the accused to find out for himself whether he should go to custody, is making a bargain with the political and media Power, to not face either.
These arrests are worth more to fill the report sheets for the European Commission and the State Department, so that in the next report there will be some good words about Justice. They would be of value to the country only if some high-ranking official with real power would get scared after that, some appointed businessman who receives state budget funds, as if he has them under his coffers, would distance himself from the tenders or if the Prime Minister would to be, if not investigated, uninformed about the investigations of the people around.
