"Consultancy and advice" - Two companies of Eldi Hoxha's family
Eldi Hoxha

The General Secretary of the Municipality of Tirana, Eldi Hoxha, a person officially indicted and investigated for several serious criminal offenses, is suspected of creating a wide network of companies, with the sole purpose of laundering money derived from corruption. Over the last decade, Hoxha has held important positions in the Municipality of Vlora, the Central Election Commission, the Albanian Anti-Corruption Commission, Customs and now in the largest municipality in the country, while with political and judicial connections, he has managed to continue his current job.

Eldi Hoxha has two security measures, a ban on leaving the country and an obligation to appear, while the SPAK investigations continue, given that he is one of the many investigated in the cigarette smuggling case, during the time he was in leading positions at the General Directorate of Customs. The suspicions of the Special Prosecution, or even the documents researched by Vox News, shed light on the attempts of this official, or his family members, to create a network of companies.

Our editorial team has obtained information from within the Customs, according to which this individual was one of the most influential officials, even in the Anti-Corruption Directorate, whose group moved every stone and had every connection with the large companies that brought smuggled goods into Albania. The suspicions are that these officials had fixed fees, forcing dozens or hundreds of companies to pay tribute to these officials themselves or their families. Given that corruption has become sophisticated, Customs officials, or even Eldi Hoxha himself, have opened legal consulting companies.

Vox News has obtained information, even accompanied by documents, that close relatives of Eldi Hoxha have opened companies, as is the case with his sister. In 2023, at the peak of Eldi Hoxha's "success" at the General Directorate of Taxes, his sister, B. Hoxha, registers a company at the National Business Center.

The field of activity is "performing analyses, feasibility studies, design or consultancy services in relation to projects in various fields". So, a field from which you can earn millions of lek or hundreds of thousands of euros without doing any work. You can advise anyone and expect an invoice of tens of millions of euros. A strong indication of SPAK to prove that Eldi Hoxha, through his family members, has laundered money. The invoices of this nephew can be verified as to whom B. Hoxha has advised and whether these advised may have businesses or fields that are directly affected by Customs.

Often these are the forms that, without doing any work, or without meeting any person, individuals make payments to the NIPT that the official gives them. Suspicions have always been that with these schemes we are dealing with money laundering, while subsequent investigations or verifications by SPAK or BKH may or may not confirm this data. In fact, the Vox News investigation is triggered by a file of the Special Prosecution Office itself, which has imposed security measures against this official.

If we look further at the sister company's NIPTI facility, we will see that it also lists "consultancy for the organizational development of vocational schools, documentation preparation services". The facility even states that it also provides training for business mentors, business staff training, computerized management systems, event management, marketing, etc.

All fields on paper, without physical work, which can only end with an account number. But money always leaves traces and it is enough to verify this data to come to important conclusions. Not only the sister has opened a company, but also Eldi Hoxha himself. Vox News has learned that the General Secretary of the Municipality of Tirana, during the time he was director of the Operative-Investigative Department at the General Directorate of Customs, has opened a nephew in the Central Customs Office, as a natural person. A scheme used by almost all directors or former directors of Customs, for whom there are suspicions that the payments they received precisely through these nephews were in fact part of the bribe.

Eldi Hoxha had this nephew for the exercise of activity in the legal field, advice on legal issues. Also, the object was various legal consultancies for commercial companies, etc. Which companies or commercial companies have received Eldi Hoxha's consultancy? How much was Eldi paid by these companies? Did these companies that he advised also issue customs invoices? The payments, if he received them, are they in fact bribes or tributes? Normally, the Special Prosecution Office has an investigation in hand and if it extends the investigations to property, it will undoubtedly find other data.

Vox News reported a few days ago, based on dozens of documents, that Eldi Hoxha, being connected to a subject of asset declaration, has given extremely suspicious statements. In fact, if we cross-reference information from several state institutions, it turns out that his family once declared a large asset, an apartment worth 200 thousand euros, while during the decision on the purity of the image, this apartment does not appear to have been checked.

Deliberate concealment or an attempt to cast aspersions on the new justice institutions? For the record, the decision of the state institutions that control the people of justice (member of Eldi Hoxha's family) is at the end of 2023, while the apartment purchased by the family is in June 2022. In no line, in the KPK decision are details given about this property, while in a document statements are given that the possessed asset has an area of ​​167.33 m2, where Eldi and his wife have a 50% share.

At that time, according to other documents, Eldi Hoxha worked at the General Directorate of Customs, where in 2022 he declared 150 thousand lek in allowances and 75 thousand lek in bonuses. He declared 1.2 million lek in salary, while suspicions are over other affairs in that institution, often attacked and investigated by other institutions. Where did he get the money?

Vox News has researched the file of the Special Prosecution Office for Eldi Hoxha, against whom a security measure prohibiting him from leaving the territory of the Republic of Albania has been imposed. The Special Court implemented the security measure on May 28, 2025, the day he was appointed Secretary General of the Municipality of Tirana. Prior to May 2025, Hoxha had been in the position of Director of the Operative-Investigative Department since November 2020. It was during this duty that he allowed mass cigarette smuggling, causing damage to the state in the amount of 53 million euros.

He has been denounced several times for serious violations, favoring various businesses. Hoxha is part of a criminal group that allowed the smuggling of a large amount of cigarettes. The scheme was such that the cigarettes were transported from Albania to EU countries, without first paying customs. The members of the group, including Eldi Hoxha, are accused of the criminal offenses of smuggling goods for which excise duty is paid, committed in the special form of cooperation, that of a structured criminal group and a structured criminal group. The group is also accused of committing criminal offenses by a criminal organization and a structured criminal group.
