110 MILLION EURO fine of Becchet, Malay: The private executor has...
Edi Rama/ Francesco Becchetti

Finance Minister  Petrit Malaj  said that the 110 million euro fine awarded by the Court of Arbitration in Belgium for the Albanian state is in the hands of the private executor, but the decision has not yet been executed and this is an ongoing issue.

The budget has a reserve fund provided for court cases.

However, this is still an ongoing issue.

The private executor has the funds but is waiting on the other hand for all the claims that the parties have. And among the claimants for these funds is the Albanian government' said Petrit Malaj.

Meanwhile, the head of the DP parliamentary group said that he will request an interview with Rama next week.

"Next week, the prime minister will also be questioned about this matter. The media reports that the former owner of Agon Channel, closed with the direct intervention of Prime Minister Edi Rama and the Mayor of Tirana Erjon Veliaj, has managed to receive a fine of 120 million euros. Since the budget foresees the obligations that the government has within the arbitration processes. Can you tell us how this execution reported by the media that took place by the Belgian bailiffs affects the state budget,' said Gazment Bardhi. 

In February 2022, the Court of Trana sentenced the Italian entrepreneur Francesco Becchetti , owner of the " Agon Channel " television, to 17 years in prison, which was closed, after the investigations that the Albanian prosecution conducted against him in 2015.
