In a statement to the media, Democratic Party MP Klevis Balliu alleged that public funds from tenders run by the National Agency for Information Society (AKSHI) had been transferred to companies in Germany that, he said, are linked to the brothers of Vlora Hyseni, the former director of the State Intelligence Service (SHISH).
Balliu said the total amount was €950,000. Two installments totaling €500,000 were transferred to a company where one of Hyseni’s brothers works, while another €450,000 was set to be transferred to a different German company represented by her other brother, but the transfer was canceled.

Balliu added that the money had passed from AKSHI tenders to companies linked to Ergys Agasi and then on to companies in Germany. He said the former head of SHISH should be in prison, not under house arrest.
“This is the money trail: from AKSHI tenders to companies linked to Ergys Agasi, and then on to companies in Germany linked to Vlora Hyseni’s brothers. And while new facts continue to emerge, Vlora Hyseni remains under house arrest instead of being held in pretrial detention!” he said.
It should be recalled that, several days ago, SPAK filed new charges against Vlora Hyseni for money laundering and corruption in connection with a transfer to a company where Hyseni’s brother, Izet Dingler, is employed.
SPAK had previously placed her under investigation for two other criminal offenses: aiding a criminal and disclosing classified acts and data, after she allegedly helped Ergys Agasi while he was on the run.
FULL STATEMENT:
The AKSHI affair, one of the most scandalous in terms of theft and one of the most brazen in its illegality, is also turning out to involve a scheme for transferring public money through intermediary companies. One such case leads the scheme to Germany, to companies linked to the brothers of Vlora Hyseni, the former director of SHISH.
Two installments totaling €500,000 were transferred to a company where Vlora Hyseni’s brother works. Another €450,000 was sent to a different German company represented by her other brother, but the transfer was canceled.
In total, €950,000 was destined for companies linked to Vlora Hyseni’s family!
This is the money trail: from AKSHI tenders to companies linked to Ergys Agasi, and then on to companies in Germany linked to Vlora Hyseni’s brothers.
And while new facts continue to emerge, Vlora Hyseni remains under house arrest instead of being held in pretrial detention!
This is not simply a corruption scandal. It is evidence of the collapse of the state!
When the State Intelligence Service is put at the service of crime, when the country’s key national security assets are traded on the black market of criminal connections, when institutions become instruments in the service of crime, and when citizens’ tax money is stolen through state mechanisms, we do not have a state but a criminal organization.
The Democratic Party and Sali Berisha have denounced Vlora Hyseni’s affairs and her links to Ergys Agasi for years. Edi Rama denied and downplayed them. Today, the facts prove us right!
Rama defended them then and continues to defend them today because he himself is at the center of this mechanism. Ergys Agasi and Vlora Hyseni could not have acted outside the system run by Edi Rama.
The Democratic Party firmly demands that SPAK apply the law equally, rather than turning a blind eye to government allies. There have been several cases in which extensive case files containing facts and evidence have been ignored, while criminals are “given leave” with the Special Prosecution’s approval.
This double standard is alarming.
What students and protesters have been demanding for several months is what the Democratic Party supports and firmly calls for: a transitional government to ensure that institutions are freed, national security is restored, and free elections are organized.
