Criminal facts:

1. During the investigations conducted, it is proven that the defendant, Ilir Beqaj*, has been acquainted with the defendant, Ermal Kurtulaj, at least since 2012, when the defendant was a partner at the company “Intech” sh.pk

The defendant Ermal Kurtulaj appears to have worked in 2017 at FSDKSH, then in several different projects and since 01.06.2022 he has worked as the coordinator of the "Facility Point" office, for the "EUSAIR" program, at SASPAC, appointed by the defendant Ilir Beqaj himself according to order no. 80, dated 26.05.2022.

Gjatë ushtrimit të detyrës si Drejtor i Përgjithshëm i SASPAC-ut, i pandehuri  Ilir Beqaj duke vepruar si urdhërues në bashkëpunim me të pandehurin, Ermal Kurtulaj, i cili ka vepruar si zbatues,  përgjatë viteve 2022-2023 kanë kryer procedura prokurimi fiktive në kundërshtim me rregullat “PRAG”, të përcaktuara në Rregullat e Zbatimit të Rregullores Financiare, të aplikueshme për të gjitha kontratat e ndihmës së jashtme të BE-së, të financuara nga Buxheti i Përgjithshëm i BE-së, Fondi i 10-të Europian i Zhvillimit (EDF) dhe të detyrueshme për t’u zbatuar sipas nenit 5 gërma “c” të ligjit nr. 37/2015 “Për Ratifikimin e Marrëveshjes Kuadër Ndërmjet Republikës së Shqipërisë, Përfaqësuar nga Këshilli i Ministrave i Republikës së Shqipërisë dhe Komisionit Europian për Rregullat e Zbatimit të Mbështetjes Financiare të BE-së për Shqipërinë, në kuadër të Instrumentit për Asistencën e Paraanëtarësimit (IPA II)” dhe ligjit me nr. 21/2018 “Për ratifikimin e marrëveshjes së financimit mes Republikës së Shqipërisë, Republikës së Italisë dhe Komisionit Europian, për Programin Interreg V-B Adriatiko-Jonian (Adrion) 2014-2020 ”.

Të gjitha shërbimet e prokuruara në kuadër të eventeve “Mbi organizimin e Konferencës FESTA (E ardhmja e Turizmit të qëndrueshëm mjedisor në Shqipëri” dhe “Konferenca e Energjitikës” si dhe “Bashkëpunimi në Rajonin e e Adriatikut dhe Jonit”, organizuar ne vitin 2023 nuk i janë nënshtruar një procedure prokurimi të rregullt, por fituesi është dakordësuar dhe përcaktuar shumë më përpara se të realizohet procedura e prokurimit, e kryer në mënyrë fiktive më pas për efekt dokumentacioni.

Këto tendera janë zhvilluar me procedurë negocimi konkurruese, të cilat janë urdhëruar për t’u kryer nga i pandehuri, Ilir Beqaj në cilësinë e Drejtorit të Përgjithshëm, i cili ka nënshkruar mbi dakordësinë për të kryer shërbimin e caktuar; ftesat që iu janë dërguar subjekteve për të paraqitur oferta sipas llojit të prokurimit, urdhri për ngritjen e komisionit për të kryer vlerësimin e ofertave; shkresa dërguar fituesit pas vlerësimit, si edhe lidhja e kontratës, urdhrat e pagesave- veprime këto të kryera kohë më pas, nga lidhja dhe zbatimi i kontratës.

Një pjesë e shërbimeve rezulton se të jenë prokuruar në mënyrë fiktive, pasi shoqëritë tregtare nuk kanë ofruar shërbime, por kanë mashtruar në bashkëpunim me të pandehurit Ilir Beqaj dhe Ermal Kurtulaj, për qëllime përfitimi material, si dhe në të paktën dy raste provohet që këta të fundit kanë marrë përfitime të parregullta nga të pandehurit që kanë përfaqësuar këto shoqëri tregtare.

2. The defendant Ilir Beqaj has made a false declaration on his assets from 2020 onwards, after he has hidden property interests in 50% of the shares in the commercial company “Albanian Food and Hospitality Services” shpk, with NIPT L91329021O and has not declared the expenses incurred for investments in this commercial company; has hidden the ownership and has not declared the expenses related to an apartment located in the city of Vlora; and has hidden the ownership of a vehicle.

14 323 125 (fourteen million three hundred twenty-three thousand one hundred twenty-five) lekë;
