The Special Court has passed the 5D file of the directors of the Municipality of Tirana for trial.

Meanwhile, Taulant Tushe, Nestor Muhametllari, Albano Janku, Julian Zanaj and  Enton Punavia  will be tried for violating equality in tenders.

The investigations for the 5 directors were closed in December by SPAK and the file was sent for trial.

According to SPAK, it has been proven that the defendant Redi Molla in his capacity as the former general director of the Tirana Water Supply and Sewerage Company sh.a, as well as the defendant Mariglen Qato as the former director of the support department in this company and in his capacity as the former chief inspector of IKMT in the Municipality of Tirana, were the "de facto" owners of the 5D Konstruksion sh.pk company, using fictitious owners, while in this file sent for trial alone they received 12 tenders, benefiting around 2 million euros in the period 2016-2020.  

Investigations have revealed that in the period 2016-2018, when Qato held the position of Director of the Support Department at UKT, the company 5D won 4 tenders, in violation of public procurement rules, from the Municipality of Tirana, "Tirana Parking" and "Tirana Sports Club".
