Bribery charges: details emerge from the arrest of the Elbasan incinerator administrator, SPAK had recorded the banknotes’ serial numbers

The administrator of “Eco-alb SHA”, Leli Kaja, was taken into custody after receiving an envelope of money.

Four million old lekë, the serial numbers of which had been recorded beforehand by SPAK, were demanded and accepted by the official of the Elbasan incinerator in exchange for his not acting in connection with a legal procedure.

The four-day investigation began following a referral by the National Bureau of Investigation, which is also verifying other suspicious relationships with economic operators. During the operation, several mobile phones and documentary files were seized.

Leli Kaja has held the post of administrator of “Eco-alb SHA” since October 2022, and on Thursday he is expected to appear before the Special Court for the setting of the security measure.

It remains to be seen how this hearing will unfold, given that lawyers have also announced a boycott of security-measure hearings at the GJKKO, withdrawing as well the list of court-appointed lawyers, otherwise known as those provided by the state.
