SPAK officers have completed the search in the apartment of the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj in Lungomare.

It is not known what they sought to find and what they took in Beqaj's apartment, while SPAK officers only came out with files and papers in their hands.

Before he was arrested, Beqaj, together with his family, went to this apartment in Vlora every weekend.

Beqajt's apartment is located on the 7th floor of a building in this area.

The control that started around 15:30 and ended in the evening was described as illegal by Ilir Beqaj's defense lawyer, Ermal Yzeiraj. 

According to him, SPAK has exercised control in an apartment not owned by Beqaj, but in which the former minister lived, concluding a lease that ended in 2020.

"Today, on 24.07.2024, around 2:00 p.m., I, as the lawyer of Mr. Ilir Beqaj, I was contacted on the phone by the relevant SPAK officers, who asked me to be present at the inspection that would be done (according to them) of the house owned by Mr. Ilir Beqaj in Vlorë, also asking me to bring the key to this house from Tirana, as otherwise they would break down the door. After I explained to the relevant SPAK officer that Mr. Ilir Beqaj does not own any apartment in Vlora, he apologized for having expressed himself wrongly and explained that it is about an apartment that Mr. Beqaj does not own it, but has rented it according to a lease contract of 2020. My answer was that if it is about the house that Mr. Beqaj had a lease and that he declared in ILDKPKI, this lease contract of 2020 is no longer in force and Mr. Ilir Beqaj hasn't been using this house for rent for a long time, so I, as a lawyer, had no reason to leave Tirana for Vlora to participate in the control of a flat that was owned and used by someone else and even a such request was completely illegal. Mr. Ilir Beqaj is neither the tenant nor the owner of this apartment. It doesn't even make logical sense that Mr. Let him be a user of this apartment when everyone knows that Mr. Ilir Beqaj is already in the detention facilities", declared Ilir Beqaj's lawyer.

The former minister was arrested at the beginning of July, after being accused of abusing European Union funds.
