SPAK closes the 5D investigation and sends officials and company to GJKKO trial
SPAK's notice (as reported by Shqiptarja) sent to trial: Redi Molla and Mariglen Qato (passive corruption; concealing assets; money laundering), Taulant Tusha, Enton Punavija, Julian Zanaj and Albano Janku (breach of tender equality), businessman Nestor Muhametllari (active corruption; money laundering) and 5D Konstruksion sh.p.k. (active corruption; money laundering). Twelve tenders are at issue: seven at UKT, three at Tirana Municipality, and two at Tirana Parking and Klubi Sportiv Tirana. SPAK says the company, under names 5D Konstruksion, V.A.S Konstruksion and Igor Elektrik, won the tenders in breach of procurement rules, and that Molla and Qato were de facto owners using nominee owners. SPAK says investigations continue in three other directions.
