The Court of Catania mentions the name of the former Socialist Minister
of Interior, Saimir Tahiri, at the documents that led to the arrest of
Moisi Habilaj.

According to Italian judges and prosecutors, Habilaj mentions Tahiri as his cousin and supporter. He also mentions him of having given money for electoral campaign.

Top Channel has obtained a copy of the document issued by Italian authorities.

“Both suspects talk about a person with power, named Saimir Tahiri, MP in Albania. Moisiu says: ‘What does he have more than us?’ But Sabaudin answers by saying that Tahiri has only the name, but he suspects he has more money than them. Moisiu makes some calculations, through which Saimir Tahiri has made more than 5 million EUR in a month. And all that money goes for the electoral campaign. But Moisiu says that 20 million are not enough for an electoral campaign’”, say the Italian investigators.

Habilaj and Celaj also mention a vehicle used by them to enter Sicily, a vehicle owned by Saimir Tahiri. The former Minister is also mentioned in another conversation between the both suspects.

“Besides the debts, we have 75.000 to pay. 30.000 to the “uncle”, 30.000 to Saimir, making it 60.000. 15.000 for the ship, 75.000. We need to pay those in Fier with 72.000, 20.000 for Arsen, and 170.000 ALL for our people at the authorities”, the document says.
