SPAK's accusations:

Tirana municipality officials are accused of illegally favoring a company owned "de facto" by the former head of the Water Supply Company, Redi Molla, and the head of IMT, Mariglen Qato, by feeding it public tenders.

The former general director of the Tirana Parking institution, Eglantina Zere, and four other Tirana Municipality officials, Rivjola Baxha, Enkelejda Qyta, Bruno Koçi and Kristo Zhulati, were held criminally liable for the charge of "Violation of equality of participants in public tenders or auctions."

SPAK investigations:

According to SPAK, during the preliminary investigations, it was proven that the defendant Eglantina Zere, in the capacity of the head of the contracting authority "Tirana Parking", an institution subordinate to the Municipality of Tirana, in collaboration with the defendants Enkelejda Qyta, Bruno Koçi and Rivjola Baxha, in the capacity of members of the Bid Evaluation Commission and the member of the Procurement Unit, Kristo Zhulati, have created unfair advantages and privileges for the merger of the winning economic operators "VAS Konstruksion sh.pk" and "Rroku Guest" sh.pk, in the procurement procedure with the object "Reconstruction of the Selman Stermasi parking lot", held on October 1, 2019.

The prosecution noted in court that the evidence collected during the investigations fully proves the fact that the verification and evaluation of the offers of the economic operators that participated in this procurement procedure were not carried out by the members of the KVO, but by other persons who worked at the company "5D Konstruksion" sh.pk.
