Eight officials and former officials were arrested today and another was left under ‘house arrest’, after a several-months long operation carried out by special anti-crime prosecution SPAK.
Among those arrested is the former director of public procurement and 7 other officials. It is suspected that these officials were involved in abuses with the tender for police uniforms, which caused economic damage and violations of equality in tenders. The tender was held during 2020 and many of the officials are members of the Bid Evaluation Commission. The tender worth 25 million euros was denounced by the opposition and a criminal report was filed in 2020.
The 9 officials and former officials who were investigated by SPAK in the tender for police uniforms are: Edlira Naqellari, Kreshnik Bejkaj, Ani Omuri, Klevis Hasani, Anisa Bogdani, Flutura Çekrezi, Fatmir Demneri, Gëzim Mingaj and Mariglen Buzali.
Edlira Naqellari 8 days ago was fired by Minister Bledi Çuçi. She has held the post of director of purchases concentrated in the Ministry of Interior.
