It is learned that SPAK caught Ilir Beqaj communicating with his realtor Ermal Kurtulaj through the phone of the citizen, Arben Dani, who is the former minister's driver.
Ilir Beqaj's accounts with justice are not over. In addition to the affair with the sterilization concession, for which he is under the security measure "obligation to appear", another affair is being investigated by the Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime.
It is learned that the Special Court has approved the decision to allow the personal and place control of some officials of the State Agency for Strategic Programming and Aid Coordination (SASPAC), an institution which was headed by Ilir Beqaj until the end of November. In the same way, controls were also carried out in the premises and headquarters of some other companies, which are suspected to be related to the former Minister of Health.
BKH checks for Ilir Beqaj and his people
Specifically, the inspection of the apartment was approved by court decision for citizens Ilir Beqaj, Ermal Kurtulaj, Sabian Kurtulaj, Gazmend Prenga and Arben Dani. For these citizens, the inspection of their vehicles has also been approved. The key person who is suspected of having committed passive and active corruption on account of Ilir Beqaj, is the citizen Ermal Kurtulaj, by duty, Coordinator of the EUSAIR project that was managed by the Agency where the former minister was the director. Kurtulaj turns out to be an early acquaintance of Ilir Beqaj and his close collaborator. Even the personal vehicle that Ilir Beqaj uses is in the name of Ermal Kurtulaj as a suspected hidden asset of the former Minister of Health.
Passive corruption of persons exercising public functions; Active corruption of persons exercising public functions; Refusal to declare, non-declaration, concealment or false declaration of assets, private interests of elected persons and public servants or any other person who has the legal obligation to declare are the charges that the defendants are suspected of having consumed.
SPAK says that the citizen Ermal Kurtulaj has carried out illegal activity by seeking and accepting the issuance of fictitious invoices from various commercial entities, paying for services that are not performed by them, placing fictitious values in invoices for the purpose of material gain, as well as involved in corrupt actions for profit purposes.
According to SPAK's preliminary investigations, it is suspected that this scheme was used in at least 7 cases by citizen Ermal Kurtulaj. The values of these invoices are estimated in hundreds of thousands of euros. In order to document this activity, SPAK has conducted telephone and environmental wiretapping of people close to Beqaj. In the eavesdropped conversations, the people of Beqaj sometimes communicated in codes and sometimes completely redeemed.
Beqaj took money to his former restaurant, which he controlled with his subordinate Ermal Kurtulaj
The company "Albanian Food and Hospitality Lab", whose trade name is "Gzona" restaurant in Tirana Castle, is also involved in the corrupt scheme. Earlier, Ilir Beqaj and his wife, Adriana Beqaj, were shareholders in this business.
Even after their departure from this de jure business, SPAK has proven that the couple continued to have control through other persons such as Ermal Kurtulaj and Gazmend Prenga. Even, for many lunches and dinners with foreign delegations, the agency led by Ilir Beqaj made several payments in this restaurant.
From the SPAK intercepts, it appears that the de facto administrator of the "Gzona" restaurant was Ermal Kurtulaj, Ilir Beqaj's subordinate at SASPAC. It is learned that SPAK has caught Ilir Beqaj communicating with his realtor, Ermal Kurtulaj, through the phone of the citizen, Arben Dani, who is the former minister's driver.
This Thursday morning was unusual for SASPAC employees. Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation and Judicial Police Officers for about 12 hours searched the offices and took hundreds of documents for various SASPAC procedures, interrogated several employees, and seized various mobile phones and computers.
As reported earlier in the day, but also according to the decision, the court has allowed the inspections of the offices and headquarters of the companies: "Curri Group", "Delta Holding", "Farmed Antibiotics", "Delta Pharma", "Delta Med", " Gzona Restaurant" and the Good Health Association. Through this network of companies and persons mentioned in this file, it is suspected that the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj hid his wealth and committed corruption by abusing his office. It remains to be seen how further investigations will be conducted on this file and whether there will be any arrests or not. / Lapsi.al
