The name of Trejsi Sejdini, winner of Miss Universe Albania 2018, was also mentioned in the SPAK file in May 2024. According to the investigative materials, it was stated that Leonard Duka had ordered a friend of his to send the model $500, while she was in New York. The money, according to the file, was requested to be transferred to the account of her friend, photographer Klevin Halili.
Recently, in the context of the trial for the "Revanshi" file, Halili himself testified before the trial panel. He stated that he has a friendly relationship and professional cooperation with Sejdin, adding that they have known each other for a long time and have traveled together several times.
According to his testimony, in January 2020 he and the model traveled to the United States of America, where they stayed for about a month in New York, initially for vacation and to do some photo shoots. However, their stay was extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, Sejdini rented an apartment, while Halili stayed at his sister's house.
The photographer stressed that he had never heard of Leonard Duke before and denied being aware of any connection between him and the model.
"I know Trajsi Sejdini, I'm friends with her, and we collaborate professionally. In January 2020, I was in America with her. The goal was to spend a month of vacation in New York, but we stayed longer because the pandemic hit us. Trajsi rented a house, while I stayed with my sister," he is reported to have stated.
Halili added that he had only learned about the rumored relationship between the model and Leonard Duka from the media. He also revealed that during her stay in the US, the model occasionally received money sent to her from Albania through financial transfer points.
According to Klevin Halili, the amounts he had withdrawn on Sejdin's account ranged from $600 to $1,000, explaining that he had done this as a help to her, as the model was busy with work and photo shoots.
Excerpt from Klevin Halili's testimony:
I have never heard of Leonard Duke. I know Trajsi Sejdini, I have a friend and we are connected by cooperation. We are friends. We have been on vacation abroad. In January 2020, I was in America with Trajsi Sejdini. We lived in New York. The purpose of the trip was for fun for 1 month to visit New York. We got stuck there because we got Covid, Trajsi was forced to rent a house there, while I lived with my sister.
No, I am not aware of what income Trajsi lived on. She stayed with me, we did photo shoots. We stayed at home, we made a living, nothing much. We were connected by close friendship and work. I was not aware of any romantic relationships that Trajsi had during that period. I did not hear her talk about Leonard Duke. I found out about this from the media, it was the period when I was in America. I did not ask Trajsi, nor did she ask me about the relationships that I had.
Trajsi Sejdini had his own things, he withdrew money in America from transfer points. The money came from Albania. On 4-5 occasions I withdrew money for Trajsi Sejdini. You show up with a code, receive the shipment and I wasn't interested in who sent it. Trajsi didn't tell me who sent the money, it was family and friends.
They sent money too. I have acquaintances in America. I'm not the curious type to be interested in who initiated it. I don't know if it was money from crime or not. I learned from the media that Trajsi and Leonard Duka had an affair. I've never met Leonard Duka, he has supported Trajsi financially several times when he was stuck in America. I don't remember how much money he helped her with. We planned to stay for 1 month and 1 week. I would stay with my sister, while Trajsi got an Airbnb. My expenses were paid by my sister and her people, my mom and dad. My parents sent $600-800 from time to time. $600-1000 were the amounts of money that I withdrew for Trajsi's account. I performed this as a service because she had a job, she had a photoshoot, etc., there were several reasons.
