Këlliçi criticizes Rama for 12 days without reacting to Ahmetaj wiretaps: Ron Yeffet interferes with ministries and tenders, investigation into Vlora Airport…

Democratic Party MP Belind Këlliçi accused Prime Minister Edi Rama of failing to provide any explanation for 12 days regarding the audio recordings published by former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj.

In the recordings, Israeli citizen Ron Yeffet is presented as the coordinator of the government’s corrupt operations.

Këlliçi said the intercepted conversations expose a new incriminating scheme involving international arms trafficking, interference in public tenders and influence over the decision-making of several cabinet ministers.

According to the opposition representative, the ruling majority rejected the establishment of a parliamentary investigative commission because it fears the exposure of the network of brokers managing Albania’s funds and strategic projects.

He said that, although Rama responded by obstructing the parliamentary investigation requested by the Democratic Party, he continues to believe that he owes the public no explanation.

The Democratic MP said an investigation by Parliament would uncover the corrupt and criminal mechanism that, according to him, the prime minister has established through several coordinators for illicit activities.

Këlliçi mentioned Gysin for one sector, Ron for several ministries and Saniel, who, he said, is expected to soon take on the role of health coordinator.

Continuing his statement, Këlliçi referred to Yeffet’s communications with foreign businesspeople.

According to him, the Israeli citizen bypassed state legal procedures and used the Prime Minister’s Office staff, while the executive branch continues not to distance itself from him.

Këlliçi said that Edi Rama’s Israeli friend had told his Ukrainian partners that he had been appointed by the prime minister to carry out illicit operations.

According to the MP, Yeffet had also made the prime minister’s aide, Ermal Rraketa, available to them during the period when the latter worked at the Prime Minister’s Office and had not yet become a minister.

Këlliçi also said that Yeffet had told his interlocutors not to worry about the tenders, as he could conduct the procedures as he wished.

He had also asked them not to send official letters to the ministries, claiming that he would provide the answers himself.

The Democratic Party MP added that the Ukrainian company has now confirmed these conversations through its lawyer, but has distanced itself from Ron Yeffet, making it clear that it no longer has any connection with this speculator.

According to Këlliçi, the only person who has still not taken the same step is Edi Rama, because Yeffet still has work to finish and the Vlora Airport is at stake.
