A task unit is verifying a report of 100 pages, deposited by the
Ministry of Urban Development and Tourism for the issue of soft loans
for high-rank officials, a few days after the Council of Ministers
repealed a decision of the Berisha government for offering privileged
loans to high-rank officials of the state administration.
“We don’t have the audit of this Ministry yet, who declared for the media that there are procedural violations for loans. However, we are making the necessary verifications”, task-force members declare.
The Prosecution has received 140 names of people suspected of having abused with this privilege, profiting 35 to 50 million ALL without fulfilling any criteria.
All names are officials who have profited from this scheme from 2009 and later. If there will be elements of a crime, prosecutors might look for a loan fraud, but this step will be taken only after there will be an answer from banks.
A few days ago, the Minister of Urban Development, Englantina Gjermeni, declared that the audit had discovered violations in giving loans for high-rank officials, who, according to the Minister, have received soft loans without making any calculation.
In the list there are names of politicians, but also ministers, such as the former Minsiter of Labor and Social Affairs, Spiro Ksera, or the former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edit Harxhi, and the former Deputy Minister of Justice, Brikena Kasmi. The list also has names of renowned judges and prosecutors.
