'The file on Rama in SPAK'/ Dutch journalist: 'The Albanian

Dutch journalist Vincent van Gerven Oei warns that the denunciations published in the book 'The Albanian Files' about the connections between Prime Minister Edi Rama, architectural companies and private investors are just the beginning of a much broader story.

In the exclusive interview on SYRI TV , Oei says that in order to reach Rama's call to SPAK, all the threads of relationships between architects, construction companies and state institutions must first be connected.

According to Oei, the book documents about 50 to 100 projects, but many more have been approved in Albania, including hundreds of projects in Tirana alone.

He insists that the entire decision-making system must be investigated and concludes with a firm stance: 'The Albanian Files' is just the tip of the iceberg, while corruption, according to him, constitutes a crime in both legal and moral terms.

Interview:

Oei: Yes, you can start with the architects who have now spoken openly about the Prime Minister's connection with the architectural company, with private companies, with investors, with everything. In a way that is definitely not according to the law, let's say. These can be called first. Then all these companies that build the palaces, the resorts can be called. We also know that some have been called in the past, for example in relation to Skanderbeg Square, in relation to the resorts in Palasa, that is, some of these are now presented to SPAK. Now all these threads need to be connected in a way that a file is created that can allow Rama's summons. Because we definitely need to...

Journalist: Is there more to discover?

Oei: … a little bit of evidence, it should be something like this…

Journalist: There's more to discover between the lines, so having said that, there's more to discover?

Oei: It needs some weight. Yes absolutely yes, I think we haven't seen anything yet.

Journalist : Which means that this is the expression that the prime minister once used.

Oei: Well, yes. But now the story will turn around a bit like this.

Journalist: History will turn out differently.

Oei : Because I believe that this Albanian Files is just the tip of the iceberg. Because it relates… this book only relates to about 50, 60, maybe 100 projects. But how many projects do we have now? How many projects have been approved by the KKT? How many projects do not have any internationally renowned architectural firm? There are many. I haven’t counted them. But for example, Citizens has made a list of all the projects that have been done in Tirana alone. That is, hundreds, thousands of square meters… we haven’t seen anything yet.

Journalist: Vincent, to conclude, is this The Albanian Files, a genuine criminal dossier, not just corruption?

Oei: Yes, definitely, because corruption is a crime. It is definitely criminal. From all sides. Even from a moral point of view, that is, not only from a legal point of view, from a moral point of view.
