Tax director Erilinda Lala and husband: ILDKPKI asset and conflict-of-interest inquiry (Vetting reporting)
Status: Administrative inquiry reported as opened (ILDKPKI). No decision seen.
Summary
In April 2026 the Vetting programme reported that Tirana Regional Tax Director Erilinda Lala and her husband Taulant Godroli had undeclared business interests, including Godroli's administration of the concession company HEC Hotolisht (2015-2017) and a role in Alko Impex Construction, whose administrator is Arbër Abazi. Vetting said ILDKPKI has opened an inquiry into their assets, confirmed through correspondence with ILDKPKI's information office.
Other Vetting/BalkanWeb reporting, not in the article reviewed, raises a possible conflict of interest because Alko-Impex was in a procurement appeal before the Public Procurement Commission, where Lala worked. That claim was not confirmed in the article reviewed. These are press allegations and have not been established by any finding.
No ILDKPKI decision, SPAK case or court ruling on this matter was found in the sources reviewed.
