New eavesdropping, Businessman benefited 2 billion lek of food tenders

By Boldnews.al

Bizesmen arrested together with the deputy director of prisons managed to earn 2 billion ALL of food tenders from the General Directorate of Prisons for six months.

Meanwhile, other bugs on the corruption scandal at the General Directorate of Prisons have been discarded: “Last week I waited to give you the money, but I did not get alive.”

Arrest of Deputy Director of Prisons Iljaz Labi and four businessmen involved in investigations and at least 6 tenders developed by the Prison Directorate for the purchase of food for prisoners.

All of these tenders are suspected of being manipulated after being gained by the same group of companies whose owners made deals between them and in return for bribes were able to receive tender bids.

According to the prosecutor’s investigation, it is learned that for the first six months of this year, the value of the tender for food is about 2 billion lek.

All this money was split between the four companies whose owners ended up scratching the day before, while the prosecution suspects that for each winning tender they paid 10 percent of the value.

From the investigations carried out, it was confirmed that a good part of these tenders was conducted with the negotiation procedure without prior announcement announcement, introducing only four companies that were ever declared winners.

Thus, the beneficiaries of the tenders are the companies “Dogel” with the administrator citizen Elidjan Laskaj, who has won two tenders, Vllaznia sh.pk. with administrator Ylber Kalaja who also won two bids in the first six months of this year as well as the Nelsa company with administrator citizen Nexhi Balla, who also benefited from two tenders from the General Directorate of Prisons.

These tenders are under investigation by the prosecution, which says that in one case it has come to prove the corruption of Deputy General Director of Prisons Iljaz Labi and the involvement in this corrupt scheme of four businessmen.

It is about the tender “purchase of dairies and eggs, which was developed under the procedure” Negotiation without prior notice of the announcement “.

This tender was won by “Nelsa” company with administrator Nexhmi Balla, who on 31.5.2016 has signed the contract with the General Directorate of Prisons.

The value of this tender is 22 million 647 thousand and 936 lek and deputy director Labi would receive 2 million lek, but two other businessmen who were the real tender beneficiaries.

“Prior to the procedure, the subjects were notified to submit the bids. In conclusion, the procurement authority has reached the conclusion that the economic operator to qualify was “Nelsa” with administrator citizen Nexhmi Balla. While other invited economic operators did not meet the required criteria and they should be disqualified, “says the prosecution.

Four companies were disqualified in this tender, two of which belonged to two businessmen who, according to the prosecution investigation, had to jointly pay the amount of 20 million ALL to the Deputy Director of Prisons.

This fact raised strong suspicions that the winning company was not the real bidder after the supply would be carried out by two other companies “MBKURTI” sh.pk with the administrator Shemsi Sinani and “Dogel” with administrator citizen Elidian Laska , who would take the first.

Prior to the tender and after the contract was concluded, the businessmen involved in the suspected corrupt scheme and the Deputy Director of Prisons had constant telephone contacts between them.

In a conversation between Elidian Lask and Shemsi Sinan, Shemsiu asked him it was last week to give the money but was not alive. The Elidian says, “I told you that I will put your pieces ..”

Shemsi says: “Car has to put, I paid 37 for them, car for the widow. Okay well, those meat passed, they passed. Elidian says they passed. Shemsiu tells her to make it ready, Elidian tells her to meet at first and finish her job. Shemsi says: O Ledion, o Ledion, please make 1 year, you will make the money or not, two loaves share. ”

Tenders won by arrested businessmen worth 2 billion ALL
