Edi Rama's positions in the USA are getting worse, McGonigal accepts the bribery charge of 225 thousand USD for lobbying the Albanian prime minister, the former FBI agent risks 5 years in prison for the Albanian file

Written by Rigels Seliman 23 Shtator 2023

As "SOT" newspaper warned a day ago, the "McGonigal" scandal seems to have rocked the positions of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Although it seemed as if this case would pass without much fanfare, yesterday there was a very interesting development from Washington, as the former FBI agent, Charles McGonigal, admitted that he received 225 thousand dollars from the former agent of the Albanian secret service, Agron Nezaj to lobby against the head of the opposition, Lulzim Basha, and that he met the head of the Albanian government, Edi Rama. He appeared in court yesterday, pleading guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence. It was US District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly who accepted the deal he made with the Justice Department. The fact that he admits to breaking the law is not a good sign for Rama and those who have been implicated. In the agreement that was reached, McGonigal has shown everything, from the visits to Tirana, meetings, secret conversations, etc. Maybe the file will not be made public, but the data is there and Prime Minister Edi Rama will not only be politically harmed, but the moment he leaves that office, if he is not prosecuted, it is not surprising that he will have the fate of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha , being declared "non-women". The notice was distributed by the State Department and it is said that McGonigal risks being sentenced to 5 years in prison at most. "According to documents filed with the Court, from August 2017 and continuing until his retirement from the FBI in September 2018, McGonigal concealed from the FBI the nature of his relationship with a former foreign security officer and a businessman who had vested interests continuous business in foreign countries,
Journalist Robert Pope provides details
But to find out more details about the "McGonigal" trial, "SOT" newspaper spoke yesterday with the well-known journalist who has been living in the United States of America for years and the owner of "Focus" television, Robert Papa, who discovered that the judge of the case has requested a "PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT", which in Albanian means other investigations before a decision is given for former agent McGonigal. Also, "SOT" newspaper has secured the letter that former FBI agent, Charles, McGonigal has admitted his guilt before the court. On the other hand, according to "Voice of America" ??McGonigal accepted all the charges related to Albania, including contacts with Prime Minister Edi Rama and his unofficial adviser to the Prime Minister of Albania, Dorian Ducka. He has also admitted that he was the one who instigated the launch of the investigations related to Lulzim Basha's lobbying in the US and the accusations that he was being financed by the Russians. Asked by the judge in the case, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, if on Nov. 25, he had "notified the Justice Department Attorney ... of a possible criminal investigation into a US citizen who had registered to lobby 'for a party that was not of Prime Minister Rama', Mr. McGonigal answered "Yes". During the hearing, Mr. McGonigal admitted that he had developed connections and contacts in Albania through a friend of his, referring to Neza, with the intention of preparing the ground for him to pursue business opportunities and benefits in Albania after leaving the FBI.
Ja njoftimi i plotë i Departamentit të Drejtësisë së SHBA
Charles F. McGonigal, 55 vjeç, një ish-agjent i posaçëm i Byrosë Federale të Hetimit (FBI) në ngarkim të Zyrës së Fushës së Nju Jorkut, u deklarua fajtor sot për fshehjen e fakteve materiale për marrjen e tij të pazbuluar prej 225,000 dollarësh në para nga një individ që kishte interesat e biznesit në Evropë, ndërsa McGonigal po mbikëqyrte përpjekjet e kundërzbulimit. Lutja u pranua nga gjyqtarja e Gjykatës së Qarkut të SHBA, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, e cila caktoi dënimin për 16 shkurt 2024. Kërkesa u njoftua nga Prokurori i SHBA Matthew M.
