Inside Story has published another document revealing that the allegations of a suspicious business relationship between the Sokolaj family and Kurum International date back much further.

There is again talk of exporting waste generated by Metallurgy.

These illegal transfers began in 2018, citing a court decision revealing the activity.

This decision, it seems, did not fall into the hands of the KTA, which informed us that the first load was transferred in 2020.

So, the state has not coordinated to fully uncover the truth. In fact, the data has not been provided in full after the latest scandal.

The entity Kurm International sh.a has not made available the waste transfer forms it carried out with the entity Sokolaj SH.PK

So, it is not known where the hazardous waste ended up. If it was not exported, then it could have been dumped somewhere in the environment.

Bashkim Tereziu, the sole partner of the Albania Trans Internacional company, has accused Gjovana Sokolaj's company and a Turkish company of fraud.

The company led by Tereziu signed a contract with the Turkish company Ferroex Madencilik VE for the sale of 3,000 tons of zinc powder. This quantity was purchased by Albania Trans from Kurum, the only company in Albania that offers such a service. Everything was done with documents, even with the analysis report of the goods dated 23 06 2018. The goods turned out to have 0% moisture.

The ATI company has towed 2,763 tons of zinc powder that were received and loaded at the port of Durres by the Ferroex company. According to the contract, another 264 tons were to be sent via a second route.

The Turks requested that the rest of the remaining goods be deposited and stored in Flakë, Durrës, at the SCHOLZ company.

The 264-ton cargo was to remain in storage until it was picked up by ship by the Ferroex company.

During this period, Fabian Tereziu, the son of the owner of the ATI company, was informed that the 264-ton cargo was being transported to the Port of Durres, while the owner of the goods was not informed about the movement, nor had he received payment for the deposited goods.

According to the agreement, the cargo of 254 tons of zinc powder owned by the ATI company, deposited near the SCHOLZ company's premises, was to remain there until it was picked up by ship by the Ferroex company, according to the contract, after payment was made.

Fabian Tereziu learned at the port that the waste was loaded by the Albanian company FLORESTER METALIK SHPK. Based on the extract from the Central Bank, this company was run by Gjovana Sokolaj, who manages 50% of the shares, while the other half is under the name of the Turk Serdar Can Hakliol. So, the name of this Turkish citizen close to Kurum reappears in partnership with Sokolaj.

According to information obtained at the port, Fabian Tereziu learned that the Florester company had submitted a customs declaration for the export of 800 tons of zinc powder. The Florester company purchased 498 tons from Kurum, while Tereziu suspected that the remaining quantity was obtained from zinc powder stored by the SCHOLZ company.

This is another company owned by the Sokolaj family with Gjovana Sokolaj resulting in QKB with 25% of the shares, while the other 25% is owned by Doni Sokolaj.

So, it is alleged that the goods deposited by one of the Sokolaj family companies were sold by one of their companies without the approval of the Tereziu family.

The cargo was seized with the excuse that the purchased material was damp.

Such a move was made because, according to the claims of the Turk Ahmet Ozgultekin, the cargo of 2763 tons of zinc powder received from the ATI company resulted in 16.77% moisture. However, the preliminary documents showed that in fact the moisture was 0%.

In this way, he has given himself the right to the goods deposited with the SCHOLZ company. He then reached an agreement to sell them to Gjovana Sokolaj, who claims to have become the owner of the goods without making any payment.
Gjovana Sokolaj, on 18.08.2018, i.e. 8 days after fictitiously purchasing 264 tons of zinc from the Turkish company Ferroex, at a price of 76 dollars/ton, sells zinc to this same company at a price of 83 dollars/ton, outside of any economic logic.
The lawsuit filed for fraud by ATI with owner Bashkim Tereziu has been dismissed, after the Durrës District Court accepted the claim of the Prosecutor's Office that it does not consider it as a fact or a criminal offense.

Despite the dubious business between Sokolaj and the Turkish company, in the case alleged by the Tereziu family, they have managed to avoid potential legal problems.

Despite this, what is related to our history and the cargo to Thailand is the fact that Sokolaj shpk, between the main company, or other companies managed by them, have a long history of trade with Kurum for the transport of hazardous waste.

In the case of this fraud lawsuit, it is revealed from the details of the file that the commercial relations between these firms have been under the scrutiny of justice since 2018./ Inside Story
