Daniel Shima

Daniel Shima, the former deputy director of the National Agency for the Information Society, is one of the most enigmatic characters in the AKSHI file, where several officials and businessmen have been accused, while so far there has been no strong coercive measure for the "hostage". Vox News has continuously reported on the abuses of this person, who in some cases is presented as a victim, and even had a report of disappearance, and in other cases has acted openly, favoring powerful businessmen. 

To this day, the Special Prosecution Office has still not decided what to call Shima; one of the gang leaders, organizer, administrator, collaborator or victim. But the fact is that, during the time he was in one of the leadership positions in that institution, he, his family and friends have multiplied their assets, obtained building permits, bought land, apartments, or opened numerous businesses, with money whose origin has not yet been found, at least not with documents, since the reality is that it comes from the AKSH. 

In this series, the Vox News editorial team will focus on a tender procedure from 2022, where the National Agency for the Information Society finalized a tender worth around 2 million euros at the time. But the facts listed below are a genuine criminal dossier, as the same firm that suspiciously received this money from the AKSHI has cut invoices with a firm owned by the mother of former deputy director Daniel Shima. Are they the tribute of this tender?!

The Vox News editorial team investigated the 2022 procedure, where at the center of this story are the companies "AE Distribution" and "Premium Glass". On the one hand, the first company won the tender worth 176 million lek, or at today's exchange rate, about 2 million euros, while the company "Premium Glass" received 3 invoices cut from the same company that also won the procedure from AKSHI, worth about 100 thousand euros. 

The above document, obtained by Vox News, is the announcement of the winners, issued by AKSHI, for a merger of operators “OVLA Systems” and “AE Distribution”. The subject of the procedure is the establishment of professional medical registers. At the head of the company “AE Distribution” is Gerian Kuka, who owns 100% of the capital. 

According to the documents, the above tender was finalized in December 2022. Meanwhile, a few months before taking this procedure, one of the firms that participated as BOE, cut 2 invoices for the company Premium Glass. Meanwhile, the third invoice for the company Alu glass was cut in April 2023, after the company won the tender. 

In total, the three invoices have a value of 9,306,525 lek, or about 100 thousand euros. The documents are open and a verification by the legislative bodies is enough to determine whether this amount was used as a bribe to win the tender, or whether concrete work was done. The dates of the invoices are at the Tax Directorate, where those of Premium Glass were cut on November 3 and December 7, 2022. That of Alu Glass on April 25, 2023.

The scandal deepens further because, while the Premium Glass firm was doing business with “AE Distribution”, the head of the Premium firm was Merita Shima, the seamstress mother of Daniel Shima, who at the time was the deputy director of AKSHI. So, part of the money that the firms received from AKSHI was allegedly given to the firm owned by the family members of a high-ranking state official. 

Vox News has previously reported that, in order to lose track of these companies, Daniel Shimë's mother sold the company for a piece of bread to Sokol Përllaku, who is suspected of being a former partner of Daniel Shimë. The sale may have been fictitious, as the documents have also been verified by the Special Prosecution Office.
