B LD: Lul Basha PD received $700,000 from Russia to lobby against Albania's EU accession

In the extensive text published today by the newspaper “ThemeA”, the popular German media sheds light on all movements carried out by chief Democrat Lulzim Basha to bring down the government “Rama”, including against-law cases where lobby companies have been used under the investigation of American justice.

The large German newspaper “Bild” has dedicated a special article to the 675 thousand dollars of the Russian lobby for the Democratic Party in order to prevent Albania's opening negotiations with the EU, one day after British prestige “The Times” had published an article about financing and hiding in Basean's account.

The German newspaper has done a long review saying, among other things, that all of this money paid by the Russians for Nick Muzin on behalf of the DP has been aimed at paying Albania towards the EU.

Here we are bringing you the complete BILD article which shows again how with Russian financing Basha tried to set the country on fire and prevented negotiations by any means.

Full article:

Despite the obstacles, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama still hopes to lead his country towards the EU. In his country, however, he also has resistance. The Albanian opposition, led by Albania's Democratic Party (PDSH), is trying hard to overthrow the Socialist prime minister. Not only democratic means are used: Suspected online campaigns, documents issued and compromised records have been deliberately distributed. Apparently one of the most influential lobbyists in the world.

According to US Justice Department documents, the busy Canadian political strategist Nick Muzin supports Albania's opposition.

Nick Muzin network

Muzin networks extend beyond all borders and into a variety of political systems. The contact list of clients is royal.
He supported Republicans George W. Bush, Ted Cruz, John McCain and even Donald Trump in the US election campaign. In 2017 he was hired by the Persian Gulf country of Qatar. On behalf of Amy, it would improve the Arab country's relations with the Trump delegation and the Jewish community in the United States. Mission failed. Because Muzin was not registered to the United States Department of Justice Agency as an adviser to a foreign state, he had to resign from Qatar. Meanwhile, the other client: The Albanian opposition, which wants to prevent Albania's EU accession under the current prime minister with all forces and the cost of using Muzin is obviously too costly.

675,000 euros for anti-use - EU

According to documents from the US Agency FARA, Muzin was to receive $6675,000 for his quarterly mission. The information comes from himself. The amount of the fee and the origin of money now put the client in trouble. Lulzim Basha, leader of the Albanian Democratic Party, had signed the contract with Muzin. A $45,000 fee was agreed three times. However, much more was paid. For this reason, investigations into opposition leader Basha began in Albania in June. He himself denies that he has abused money or taxed it, speaks of a dirty campaign, and accuses accusers of being corrupt. But where did the money come from for Muz?

The following is in the file:

Muzin himself confirmed the payment of funds for US FARA authority. In a Later Report FARHA, the company that appeared as a client was a company that shares its mail box on St. Street. Vincent in Edinburgh, Scotland with 1200 other companies: Biniatta Trade LP. Binites trade tracks lead around the world: from Scotland through Belize-South America and from there to Russia.

Despite this global expansion, the company has less money than any business start: According to the British business registry, Biniatt Trade has a share capital of 100 pounds. What the American magazine “Mother Jones” found in the middle of the year brings Albanian DPA and its opposition leader, Lulzim Basha, to further explain the difficulties. Because behind the Biniatta Trade is a network of overlapping companies at the end of which has some people with business influence from Russia. One of them is Evgeny Sheremtyev. He owns shares in some Russian companies. At least one of them gets orders from the Russian government. For Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, it is clear evidence that Russia is behind the efforts of senior lobbyist Nick Muzin. In fact, Russia has little interest in Albania's approach to the EU. The accession would further weaken the Russian influence in the Balkans. In an official statement, the Albanian Democratic Party said: “The Democratic Party has not had direct or indirect ties with Russian individuals or companies”. A statement that, given the links documented between The DPA, the highest lobbyist and Russian businessmen, is not very enlightening.(Empty)
