In a statement made during a meeting with citizens in Mat, the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha , harshly accused local official Agron Malaj, describing him as one of the "biggest thieves of local government" in Albania.
Berisha added that Malaj's brother, Fatos, is also involved in corrupt affairs, specifically in abuses of Tirana Waterworks funds and public tenders.
DP leader Sali Berisha in Mat: In Albania, only theft occurs. There are 130 million euros of the Tirana incinerator, which has no brick laid, of your taxes, they have disappeared. 5D is also in Mat. These people take their tenders with their families. Agron Malaj is among the biggest thieves of the local government in Albania. He has a brother named Fatos. Fatos is a ruthless thief of the water supply money in Tirana. Agron does not get what he steals from you. With Fatos and Veliaj, they have stolen millions of euros from the citizens of Tirana. They share the money with each other. They follow the Rama model.
