Villa for €650,000 with a swimming pool and a yacht-like design/ How

The seizure of Belinda Balluku's second luxury villa in Palasa by SPAK has exposed a deep scheme of corruption, concealment of wealth and conflict of interest that directly connects the former deputy prime minister with businessman Arbër Abazi.

Invited to the show "Minuta e Parë" on News24, journalist Klodiana Lala stated that the collected evidence gives SPAK every opportunity to request authorization from the Parliament to arrest Balluk, while emphasizing that the investigations should also be expanded to Prime Minister Edi Rama.

According to the journalist, the investigation into the coastal villa complex began after the dismantling of telephones and electronic communications. The new villa seized in Palasa, which follows the one in Dhërmi suspected of bribery, has a purchase value of over 400 thousand euros, while the additional investment of more than 250 thousand euros for its luxury was made by Arbër Abazi of the company "Alko Impex".

 

The architect's emails: Communications between architect Alban Eftimi and Balluku reveal details of the villa's luxurious fit-out (where half of it would resemble a yacht inspired by luxury hotels in Greece), accompanied by an 11-page technical specifications document.

Notes for the pool: The supervision documents from the architect of “Alko Impex” for the purchase of pool materials bear the direct note “Arbër Abazi + Balluku”.

Abazi lives with a relative of the minister, which constitutes an open conflict of interest for the public tenders that his company has received from the Ministry of Infrastructure. In addition to the tender abuses for which she is officially accused, Balluku now faces new charges of corruption and concealment of assets. The name of Igli Tara is also mentioned in this scheme, assigned to cover part of the investment due to friendly relations.

Lala emphasized that this corrupt venture worth millions of euros could not have been carried out without the approval of Prime Minister Edi Rama. There are messages in the file mentioning the name of the Prime Minister instructing Balluku to meet certain businessmen for large public tenders. The journalist emphasized that SPAK should at least question Edi Rama about the Llogara tunnel tender and resolve the impasse by requesting Balluku's arrest in the Assembly.

"At the end of July, it was reported about several inspections carried out by decision of the GJKKO against Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku. The investigation extended to several villas in the Palasa area, where SPAK had strong suspicions, after the dismantling of telephones and electronic communications, that her real estate assets could be hidden. Balluku had previously had another luxury villa hidden in Dhërmi seized, which is suspected of having been obtained as a bribe. The second villa seized is related to suspicions that, in her capacity as Minister of Infrastructure, she has fed public tenders to the company "Alko Impex" of businessman Arbër Abazi. The latter has undertaken the investment for the villa, which is estimated at over 400 thousand euros, while the luxury works that exceed 250 thousand euros were carried out by Abazi.

The SPAK file contains several emails exchanged between architect Alban Eftimi and Belinda Balluku, showing that his studio was working on a luxury villa design. The communications mention that half of the villa would resemble a yacht, inspired by a luxury hotel in Greece, accompanied by an 11-page document with technical specifications.

In another compromising moment that connects Balluku with Arbër Abazi, while receiving materials for the swimming pool, the architect of "Alko Impex" who supervised the works had handwritten the following on the order sheets: "Arbër Abazi + Balluku Swimming Pool".

Businessman Arbër Abazi lives with a relative of Balluk, which proves the clear conflict of interest in awarding public tenders to her family members. As for Igli Tara, he covered part of the investment due to friendly ties with the parties.

Because of this nepotistic connection, Abazi's company could not compete for public tenders while Balluku held the position of minister. In addition to the accusations of tender abuse for which she is officially a defendant, new charges of corruption and concealment of assets have been filed against Balluku, while investigations are underway for Abazi for corruption of high-ranking officials and money laundering. With this new evidence, SPAK has all the legal options to address the Parliament with a new request for Balluku's arrest.

"This corrupt enterprise worth millions of euros extends beyond the deputy prime minister. Balluku could not have acted alone, as no official of the Socialist Party can make such financially significant decisions without the approval of Prime Minister Edi Rama. In the investigation files there are messages mentioning the name of the prime minister, who instructs Balluku to meet with certain businessmen. On this basis, SPAK should at least question Edi Rama regarding his role in the Llogara tunnel tender," she said.
