A detective who goes into hiding in Austria because of death threats weighs heavily on the Albanian head of state. The inauguration of Donald Trump also plays an important role in this.
Tears run down my cheeks, my hands tremble, my voice trembles and breaks. A whistleblower’s fear of the Albanian authorities is palpable during a meeting with the “Krone” in an undisclosed location. Background: The whistleblower fled to Austria over accusations and fears of an assassination attempt. Where he should now have been given protection status.
Could shake Albania’s political landscape
What the revealer tells in front of renowned Viennese lawyers will make you sit up and take notice. The evidence could rock Albania’s political landscape and topple none other than the president.
Ilir Meta (53) has held numerous positions in his career. He founded the Socialist Movement for Integration party, which he chaired until 2017. He was Speaker of the Parliament for a few years and has been President of the Republic since 2017. From that time on, there were flows of money that the crown witness described as “deeply corrupt”.
It is unclear who paid for the trip to Washington
Because on January 20, 2017, Meta shared a photo of herself and a party colleague at Donald Trump’s inauguration in front of the Capitol in Washington. To gain access to the Republican inauguration and officials, they reportedly lobbied diligently through a Cypriot shell company. Cost: $700,000. It is still unclear to this day who actually paid it. Meta himself claims that he was invited by the Republicans. According to US court documents, a lawyer’s 700,000 flowed away from Meta through the offshore company Dorelita Limited.
A few weeks before the inauguration, a contract was signed between the SMI party and the lawyer, providing for participation in the inauguration. Shortly afterwards, Meta also became president.
Questionable cosmetic surgeries for the First Lady
Since paid lobbying in his position is difficult to sell, the contract was terminated. Only to draw up a new contract for the “Dorelita”, who has no business activities. On their dubious expense list: 50,000 euros per month for meetings with US senators, dinner, travel and presumably also cosmetic operations for Ms. Metas, Monika Kryemadhi, who took over the party chairmanship of SMI from her husband.
In any case, the accusations weigh heavily and the presumption of innocence applies to the political couple.
