The most significant corruption scandal of the century involves Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj. This revelation comes from a person who has been closely associated with Edi Rama for over eight years in government.

In an exclusive interview with Syri TV on "Çim Peka Live," Arben Ahmetaj has disclosed these corrupt practices, always with the prime minister’s knowledge. "Edi Rama was fully aware of everything I did as minister," he stated. When moderator Çim Peka inquired about the actual figures behind the Tirana incinerator project, whether it was Mërtiri, Zoto, Edi Rama, or Erion Veliaj, Ahmetaj clarified that "the Tirana incinerator was the feat of Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj."

Studio Chat:

Peka: There are no guarantees. Let's get back to the point. Millions of euros were stolen in Tirana. You rejected it, Rama and Veliaj postponed it, and from what I see, so did Belinda Balluku. Who took this stolen money?

Ahmetaj: I don't know; it's not my job to know. I have asked to follow the money. They follow Eriola's sister-in-law.

Peka: Mirel Mërtiri took this money...

Ahmetaj: What Mirel? He is a victim. Once a hardworking boy, they have used, eliminated, and stigmatized him. Stop involving Mirel Mërtiri. The whole story is a development of the conspiracy theory that Mërtiri and Zoto are the ringleaders. Who made the Tirana incinerator?

Peka: Who made the Tirana incinerator?

Ahmetaj: It was done by Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj.

Peka: And the economic damage will reach 700 million euros...

Ahmetaj: It will if it is not stopped today. And what is the reason that the money is not followed?

Peka: And the economic damage will reach 700 million euros if it is not stopped today, and you are saying that Mirel Mërtiri is a victim. The Tirana incinerator was made by Edi Rama and Erion Veliaj.

Ahmetaj: Mirel Mërtiri is a victim. He was used. The martyrdom of a once hardworking boy who got up at 5 o'clock in the morning was put into a difficult situation, which we will detail in our third meeting. They told him that this disaster was in his way. I had no power to prevent it because I could not participate in the procedure. I was in a position unrelated to the procedure. Nor was I a contracting authority.

Peka: But you refused with a letter...

Ahmetaj: I definitely refused. I asked that all the risks of a public investment be borne by the private sector. Whether they like it or not, it’s their responsibility.

Peka: You are saying that Mirel Mërtiri was told that you prevented him from going to the Tirana incinerator...

Ahmetaj: When they sent them somewhere else, not to the big man's office (Edi Rama), but somewhere else. He controls everything. Even the prayer for me, except he is the owner of the flag, the homeland, that I am without a homeland, that I am a pig in the forest, so I was a pig in the forest. That's why the Albanian media were the cauldron, because this is how they treat the media, like the cauldron from Top Channel to Carlo. The Prime Minister rightly said that the Achilles heel of corruption is tenders. I said I will bring four examples.

Peka: You are saying many things... to which office did they send Mirel Mërtiri...

Ahmetaj: I don't know in which office. Let Altin Dumani investigate. Don't be taken in five times, that after my exit from the interview, in addition to making family accusations and persecutions like Jews in 1939-40 in Poland, in addition to exceeding the legal limits with family persecution, now he has the duty to investigate so there is no more bleeding. Has the prime minister said that the Achilles heel of corruption is the tenders? Four examples. Infrastructure, with all the dependent institutions, has made somewhere around 10 billion euros in tenders since 2019.
