Albanian minister immersed in luxury, his fortune revealed

Infrastructure and Energy Minister Damian Gjiknuri's name is the most coveted in the media by government ministers “Rama 2”.

To Gjiknour, accusations have been brought from the political spectrum concerning suspicious relatives of corrupts, where huge sums of money have been at stake.

We remember that Gjiknori is one of the ministers charged with mega the CEZ relative.

According to the Supreme State Control, the Albanian state has been subjected to financial damage of 479m euros from agreement for understanding between parties reached by the government and the Czech group CEZ, which owned 76 percent of the operator's distribution System shares. As responsible for this damage, the accuser finger was directed at Damian Gjiknuri.

Earlier, the opposition has cast doubts that Gjiknuri has created questionable assets, based on this relationship.

If we look at the data of the property declared near I The LDKPKI, over the years, finds that only with a minister's salary and a salary of his wife, Gjiknuri has lived in luxury.

Such a luxury described in large numbers in a poor Albania, of course suggests that only a single veto in politics could whitewash ministerial corruption and not alone.

During 2012-2015, Gjiknuri turns out to have borrowed from his wife while declaring revenue from private affairs.

Over the course of three years, 2012-2015, the Gjiknuri family, with the revenues provided, have partially repaid the loans they had received for a 50m-dollar flat, as well as the loan for a car worth 18 200 euros.

According to Open Spending Albania data, in 2015, it turns out that Energy and Industry Minister Damian Gjiknuri has revenues of 1,671,249 of salaries as minister and rewards. While the minister's three bank accounts have been reduced, 61,621 leks, accounts of $2,080, and a wife's account of 436,869, respectively, several other accounts have been added.

Other accounts, meanwhile, have been added by $83,200, at $10.053, as well as an added account in business currency at $9,702. Minister Gjiknuri's wife has received loans to purchase a “Mercedes Benz” vehicle in 2015 worth 44,000 euros.

In 2016 the luxury of Gjiknom has reached its climax.

According to data in the Gjiknuri property statement, taken near I LDKPKI, in 2016, Gjiknuri ordered a new apartment of 199.5 square meters.

The value of this residential apartment is 271 thousand and 450 euros, out of which Gjiknuri has paid the first installment of 100,000 euros.
