Opposition’s Democratic Party, Jorida Tabaku commented today on the findings of the “Global Initiative” group study, saying that Albania has become “a big money laundering machine”.
Through this official statement, former PD MP Jorida Tabaku writes that 30% of tenders and concessions go for corruption bribes to the officials.
Tabaku adds that Albania has become a big money laundering machine and that the fiscal amnesty law is nothing more than a ‘parliamentary seal’ on crime and drug money laundering.
“According to the report, at least 30% of public tender contracts money go to corrupt government officials. Translated into money it means that for the year 2018-2019, a total of 679 million euros were tendered, of which almost 200 million euros were money that went to corrupt officials”, she adds further.
“The fact that Albania has become a big money laundering machine has been denounced early on by the DP and has recently been included in every serious international report.
“As the Global Initiative Study writes in black and white that the two key sources of money laundering are precisely drug revenues and corruption money. According to the report, 30% of public tender contracts go to corrupt government officials. Translated into money, it turns out that for 2018-2019 a total of 679 million euros were tendered, of which almost 200 million euros were money that went to corruption.
“This shocking data report estimates that in at least 50% of cases Albanians pay bribes. Global Initiative says in its analysis that about 40% of Albania’s economy is informal and of this 22% is criminal economy.”
