Footage from inside the Albanian Post Office in Durres has been obtained for the first time, where abuse of funds led to the arrest of former branch director Elisabeta Mataj, and left former finance chief Valbona Duni and former treasurer Paola Dana under house arrest.
In the footage provided by Top Channel, it appears that the former head of finance at the Durrës Post Office, Valbona Duni, entered the branch's cash register, took a sum of money, put it in a bag, and left.
Meanwhile, the footage provided shows other moments inside the office, where Duni appears with papers in his hands, talking to the former treasurer, Paola Dana.
The imposition of the security measure "house arrest" against the former head of Finance of the Durrës Post Office, Valbona Duni, seems to have opened another investigative front.
Two days after the Court imposed a security measure against her, the husband of the former director of the Durrës Post Branch, Elisabeta Mataj, who is under the measure of "prison arrest", has filed a criminal complaint with the Durrës Local Police Directorate, raising serious charges against the former head of Finance Valbona Duni. Mataj, Duni and P. Dana are accused by the prosecution, following the complaint of the Albanian Post, of theft by abuse of office in collaboration.
In the complaint filed yesterday, July 20, Feta Mataj claims that his wife has been unjustly held responsible for the financial scandal at the Durrës Post Office, while according to him, Valbona Duni should also be investigated.
In his complaint, Feta Mataj claims that during the verifications he has conducted privately, he has raised suspicions that the former Finance Minister has created a considerable fortune, which he considers unjustified with her income, a monthly salary of 60 thousand lekë. He requests that the source of this fortune, as well as the economic activity of her family members, be investigated.
According to the complaint, the chief financial officer and her two children own luxury vehicles, manufactured in recent years, worth hundreds of thousands of euros, several apartments in Durrës and Tirana, as well as businesses opened in recent years. The complainant claims that these businesses may have been used to justify illegal income, raising suspicions of the criminal offense of money laundering.
He also mentions the suspicion that the Duni family's wealth has increased significantly after 2020, a period that coincides with the administration of post-earthquake reconstruction funds by the Post Office, claiming that these circumstances should be verified by the justice system.
The report requests that investigative bodies examine whether there was collaboration in the administration of public funds from 2020 onwards, while a full property and financial investigation is requested for Valbona Duni and her family members.
Feta Mataj says that his wife, Elisabeta Mataj, who is in prison following investigations into the Durrës Post scandal, had previously reported problems in the financial sector and concerns that, according to him, were not taken into consideration by the management.
According to the Durrës police, work is underway to forward the criminal report to the Prosecution, which is expected to evaluate the allegations and decide whether to file criminal proceedings and initiate verifications for the charges raised./TCH
