Speaking live on News24, Lala said that the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office had taken new steps, further worsening Balluku’s position.
According to her, the decision to seize the assets was signed by prosecutor Erion Çela. So far, SPAK has not clarified which assets were seized or on what basis it was determined that they were indirectly controlled by Balluku.
Lala said that other assets had previously been seized in the same area, while important evidence is suspected to have been found on several mobile phones. BKH officers are continuing the procedures to seize the assets, which are then expected to be blocked.
SPAK is investigating Balluku for corruption in connection with the Llogara Tunnel and the New Ring Road. Earlier, the authorities also seized a luxury villa in Dhërmi, which is suspected of belonging to her.
“So far, there is no information on whether there will be a new request for Balluku’s arrest, while Mr. Braho has not ruled it out. Several businesspeople are also under investigation, suspected of having cooperated with Balluku to conceal the assets. The villa in question is suspected of having been built by Balluku during the period when she worked at Albcontrol,” Lala said.
