14 thousand euros for a flight / Ahmetaj: Rama has bankrupted Air Albania, with a loss of 20 million euros.

Ahmetaj: I have an episode with the head of the organization and one of his Israeli friends at the flower garden. Because in addition to the Garden of Eden, there’s also the flower room where he eats. He asked me at the table, with his friend, I was there before the Eurobond issue in 2018, to privately transfer the debt (a private settlement) to his friend. He insisted twice. I told him it couldn’t be done. It’s not in Albania’s interest. It’s illegal, the costs would be hidden, and Albania would lose. Moreover, it would make it impossible for Albania to enter the international market in the future. We’re talking about 1 billion dollars here.

So that the public debt would go to one man. Let him come out and oppose it if he wants. In the meantime, after he insisted, I went back to the Ministry of Finance, sat down with 3-4 of the employees there, and, for the sake of my insistence on saying no, we did the math. So, for this, Altin, you should have thrown me in jail if I had done it. You should have put that mask on me too, like in that movie, you would’ve been the hero of our children there. I went back to him and told him it couldn't be done. Besides, there's also the issue of the law. "Then we’ll change the law," he said. "No," I told him, "I don’t touch the law, except with the advice of the World Bank and the IMF."

Let's move on to the Air Albania project. I’ll present something very interesting here. This Air Albania has gone bankrupt. The head of the organization has gone bankrupt. I feel sorry for the owners, out of respect for the citizens, and I have here the balance sheet of the Turkish partner. As of December 31 (and considering it’s now January 1, 2024, covering 2023), as of December 31, 2019, the loss of Air Albania exceeds the entire total of the group’s shares, the group that created Air Albania. They don’t include it in this consolidated balance sheet. The loss amounts to 20 million euros. And yet, he parades the nation’s image with this. Albanians have paid for its charter flights from their own pockets.

We are talking about a diversion: from Tirana to Rome, a flight costs 14 thousand euros. According to these documents, this capital has been lost. Let them investigate and I’ll apologize if this isn’t the case. Or let them take me to court for this. Since these analysts wanted documents, they’ll get them.

I don’t want to stop with the aggregates project in Vlora. It’s a corrupt scandal, where the financial bleeding is still ongoing. Let him not investigate Altin Dumani; let him deal with Erjola’s bathroom tiles; let him ruin my children’s lives. Let them persecute us from behind. Let him persecute all my friends.

Peka: Don’t repeat it again, stay calm, because he himself has the persecution in mind.
