For him, Giorgia Meloni is ready to put her hand in the fire. " Help me show solidarity with Edi Rama for the lynching he suffered just trying to help our nation" , she said at the IHD program conference last April after the " Report " episode about the agreement for immigrants between Italy and Albania.
Giorgia is convinced that the government's accusations of Rama's collaboration with the Albanian mafia are pure propaganda.
However, the prime minister risks burning her hand in the fire.
In the " Albanian Village " investigation, which " Report " will broadcast tonight, we have collected the testimony of the former Albanian deputy prime minister, Arben Ahmetaj, Edi Rama's right-hand man.
A year and a half ago he was served with an arrest warrant for corruption in an incinerator investigation that made half the government tremble.
To avoid prison, Ahmetaj fled to Switzerland, and from one of Rama's confidants, he is now one of his accusers.
Ahmetaj revealed the vital role of the mafia in the Albanian economy and politics: " Criminal groups get contracts, clean money in Albania with construction. They coordinate with Edi Rama ".
According to the accusations of the fugitive former deputy prime minister, Rama would have direct relations with the heads of the clan: " I have met mafia leaders in his office in the government building, I have seen them ".
Ahmetaj claims that the relationship is mediated by an entrepreneur from Durrës, Ergys Agasi, a businessman in the tobacco sector and the son of a former powerful socialist deputy.
In the long interview for " Report ", Rama rejects the complaints, describing his former right-hand man as unreliable:
"People should not be taken seriously. "Albanian politics is not contaminated by the mafia ". However, a little while ago, a meeting was held in Rama's office, from which " Report " can show the mafia bosses in the palace, there.
I have seen with my own eyes photographic evidence, in which Luftar Hysa participated, considered by the Canadian authorities as one of the main recyclers of the " Sinaloa Cartel ".
Two months after the conversation with the Albanian Prime Minister, the businessman received the license to open a casino in a luxury hotel in Vlora. " I saw it once and then never again ", is Rama's defense. Albania is not a coveted land only for Albanian mafia clans.
In recent years, many Italian entrepreneurs have sought wealth beyond the Adriatic. Among them Massimo D'Alema. " Report " discovered that last year the former prime minister opened an A&I lobbying firm in Tirana, where until a few months ago new companies did not pay any taxes.
" In Albania they deal with cryptocurrencies ", says Ahmetaj. Asked by Report, D'Alema denies it. In Tirana, however, in 2019 " Consulcesi Tech ", a company that inaugurated a specialized fund for cryptocurrency investments in Malta, opened its doors.
" Consulcesi " refers to Massimo Tortorella, D'Alemws former partner in his winery. In 2019, D'Alema and Rama baptized together the start of activities in Tirana by Consulcesi Tech, participating in a conference./* Adapted in Albanian Alfapress.al, Article in the Italian media "Il Fatto Quotidiano":
