Arben Ahmetaj is being officially investigated by the Special Prosecutor's Office, the expert sheds light on the behind-the-scenes and casts strong doubts: The news about the former deputy/prime minister to shift attention from...

The media reported today that former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj is being officially investigated by the Special Prosecutor's Office for three charges, abuse of office, corruption and money laundering.

But although it made noise in the media, this is not new news, as SPAK has confirmed the investigations since November of last year.

For this reason, the economy expert, Brisida Shehaj, has viewed the media reporting with suspicion.

Shehaj said in an interview with Sonila Meçon that the news about Ahmetaj was aimed at shifting attention from yesterday's report by the US State Department, which mentioned the payments that the media received from the incinerator companies in December 2021 and January 2022.

"Today, it took a news story to disorient DASH's news. Today it took a news to say that we have done the job, meanwhile we have been publishing facts for three years, that we have risked our lives. They are international investigative journalists, who have sought, are investigating, have investigated, cooperated, cooperate, seek our cooperation, the whole world seeks it, only we do not seek it. DASH reached and put a figure, 271 million dollars. In my opinion, I speak as an expert, they are much more than that. This part does not make news for me", she emphasized.
