Profile
Wife of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Per exit.al (26 Feb 2021), which cites a BIRN analysis, she did not declare real estate in her 2011 declaration (she mentioned rental income from a Tirana apartment). Her 2013 declaration reportedly listed the apartment and two Surrel land plots. Later acquisitions reported: an 886.5 sq.m. plot (EUR 3,234, 2015) and a 2,240 sq.m. olive garden (EUR 56,572, 2017). Opposition figures have alleged that she was used to hold property and accounts; those allegations are recorded in claims[].
