Jorgo Goro akuzohet për “Shpërdorim detyre”, kryer 2 herë, dhe “Refuzim për deklarimin, mosdeklarimi, fshehja ose deklarimi i rremë i pasurive, interesave privatë të personave të zgjedhur dhe nëpunësve publikë ose i çdo personi tjetër që ka detyrimin ligjor për deklarim”.
Te pandehur jane marre edhe vartësit e Goros, shtetasit Jerasimo Bashi, Bilbil Aliaj, Vezir Gjikokaj dhe Stavri Mëhilli.
Sipas SPAK, në përfundim të hetimit paraprak ka rezultuar e provuar se, të pandehurit Jorgo Goro dhe Jerasimo Bashi, në bashkëpunim mes tyre, në dy episode të veçanta, kanë kryer veprime dhe mosveprime në kundërshtim me ligjin, në mospërmbushje të rregullt të detyrës.
“Në lidhje me episodin e parë, nga hetimi rezultoi plotësisht e provuar se ish titullari i Bashkisë Himarë, i pandehuri Jorgo Goro, në bashkëpunim me Drejtorin e DMMT-së pranë kësaj Bashkie, të pandehurin Jerasimo Bashi, kanë dërguar pranë ZVRPP-së Vlorë për qëllime regjistrimi të pasurisë, shkresën Nr. 731 Prot., datë 18.03.2019, bashkëngjitur së cilës ndodhej dokumentacion i cili qartazi përmbante të dhëna të rreme, në një kohë që pranë kësaj Bashkie, ky dokumentacion ndodhej i mirëadministruar dhe me të dhëna autentike të pasurisë së ndarë me ligjin Nr. 7501, në favor të shtetasit F. M. Megjithëse në rastin objekt hetimi ka qenë fare e lehtë për ish zyrtarët e Bashkisë Himarë të konfirmonin ose jo vërtetësinë e AMTP-së dhe Formularit Nr. 6, të paraqitur nga i pandehuri Stavri Mëhilli, siç ligji e kërkon, të bashkëpandehurit kanë dërguar një kërkesë për regjistrim të pasurisë (Nr. 36/36/1) me përmbajtje të rreme (vetë shkresa e përcjellë) por edhe me dokumentacion bashkëngjitur të provuar të falsifikuar.
Në lidhje me episodin e dytë, nga hetimi penal rezultoi plotësisht i provuar fakti se të pandehurit, në bashkëpunim kanë konfirmuar një plan rilevimi me një vendndodhje gjeografike të pasurisë Nr. 36/341, krejtësisht të ndryshme nga ajo që i korrespondon dokumentacionit pronësor. Madje kësaj pasurie, të pandehurit i kanë dhënë një numër të ri (36/35) të pabazuar në asnjë të dhënë fakti dhe krejtësisht në kapërcim të kompetencave që u njeh ligji. Ky plan rilevimi i konfirmuar nga të bashkëpandehurit ka shërbyer për të gjithë procedurën e zhvillimit të pronës deri në lëshimin e Lejes së Ndërtimit në emër të shoqërisë “AG.TCC” sh.p.k”, sqaron SPAK.
Tjetërsimi i pronave në favor të burrit të Olta Xhaçkës
We recall that Goro is accused of abuse of office in relation to the property where Artan Gaçi, former socialist MP and husband of former Foreign Minister Olta Xhaçka, is building a strategic investment worth millions of euros.
SPAK investigations showed that Goro, in collaboration with Jerasimo Bush, submitted forged documents to the competent authorities, enabling the registration of an area of 5,512 m2 of agricultural land, owned by the state, in favor of a private entity, owned by Foto Mëhilli, the father of Stavri Mëhilli.
After this procedure, the two of them continued with the transactions to register the land area in the name of a private company represented by Artan Gaccin.
In total, there are two alienated land areas, both about 10 thousand m2.
Regarding this issue, the head of the Vlora cadastre, Bilbil Aliaj, was placed under "compulsory appearance", while former lawyer Vezir Gjikoka and the former director of the Directorate of Land Protection and Management in the Himara Municipality were placed under "house arrest".
On the other hand, Stavri Mëhilli, the landowner, who is suspected of having committed 2 criminal offenses, was left in "prison arrest", in absentia, because he could not be found for arrest.
We recall that a few months after the arrest, the Special Prosecution requested another security measure of arrest in prison for Jorgo Goro and also seized 4900m2 of land that was acquired by the former mayor of Himara, Arqile Bollano.
Goro is suspected of abuse of office and corruption, while the investigation was initially initiated by the Vlora prosecutor's office but was transferred a month ago to SPAK.
The land is located in the Livadh area of Himara, which, according to the prosecution, was unfairly benefited by Arqile Bollano, the SP-led mayor of the Himara municipality.
Bollano himself was part of the working group that compiled the list of names of people who unfairly acquired land in Himara, some of which he allegedly gave to himself, taking advantage of his acquaintance with Goro.
But unlike the measure requested for Goro, there is currently no request for a measure for Bollano, except for the land sequestration.
The report regarding this matter was initially made at the Himara police station by a resident of the area who owned the land legally and had acquired it based on Law 7501.
In 2015, when the procedures were carried out, Bollano held an important position in the property office of the Himara Municipality, even leading the working group for the division of properties. The acquisition of the two properties was done under the signature of Jorgo Goro, with the argument that families like Bollano's were not treated with land during 1991-1992.
And because these families had and actually used several plots of land in the Himara area, these lands had to be recognized by the municipality.
