Pacolli can save the investigation for lunch he paid with state money at his hotel

The anticorruption agency is unable to investigate the payments Behgjet Pacolli had made in the hotel where he owns it.

KA LLXO.com reported that in 2011 the first Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli had paid a lunch from the state budget to the hotel where he is a shareholder “Sweiss Diamond”.

It is the bill of July 26, 2012, in which Pacolli slept with Albania's Foreign Ministry delegation. This lunch bill had reached 662 euros and 30 cents.

But according to the Anti-Corruption Agency, this case cannot be prosecuted as a conflict of interest as a result of the time period.

Africa Atashi from the Anti-corruption Agency says it is impossible to initiate the procedure for conflict of interest because more than six years have passed since the case occurred.

Also, during the time of this incident, the conflict of interest was not a criminal offense in the Penal Code, so it cannot be treated as such.

“Initialising the procedure for conflict of interest in the Agency cannot start if two (2) years have passed since the action was carried out, unless it is put forward differently by law. From this it turns out that the term when this work is allegedly carried out has passed over six years, so under these circumstances we as the AKK have no mandate to initiate the procedure for the case treatment of conflict of interest, one report that in this period of conflict of interest as a work has not been classified as a criminal act in the Penal Code.”, Atashi said.

Behgjet Pacolli himself has declined to comment on questions of whether state cash payments for bills at his hotel view them as conflict of interest.

“You have said what you need”, Pacolli replied.

Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli held the same position in 2012. This data is on bills that BIRN has received after 6 years from then Prime Minister Hashim Thaci's office.
