“What's up, what's wrong” Audio-incision that proves involvement in the bribery of Albin Kurti's deputy minister

“... does he tell you how close to the munet? ”... that these without giving you something do not work” There are some parts of the conversation that Deputy Minister of Regional Development Almir Veliji makes more of a person and talk about a bribery affair.

Deputy Prime Minister Veliji, appointed by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, in these audio-incisions he has provided to Insander who has been deposited in the Kosovo Police, speaks of a government grant of tens of thousands of euros.

Audio-incision is now in possession of Kosovo police investigating the case.

“Reference to your request can confirm that Kosovo Police possess information as well and are in the initial phase of investigations in co-operation with the Founding Prosecutor in Pristina”, says the Police's response to the Inseder.

This audio-incision, among other things, testifies that this government grant of tens of thousands of euros, Deputy Minister Veliji, had also held calls.

He even owned the citizen's paper that was in the process of obtaining the grant, which would cover some of the investment, as the rest had covered with personal investments.

All that was missing in this process, according to the conversation that is taking place between the X person and Almir Velij, remains the definition of the bribe price that the government grant would be granted.

Since 2021 a series of cases of misuse of government grants have been investigated by the Prosecutor. A portion of them have already been deposited in the Court with an indictment.

The last case was that of December last year where the Special Prosecution filed charges at the Constitutional Court in Pristina against 15 indictees in the case known “Subventions II”

Case “Subventions I” in September 2022 also had a review session at the Court of Appeals, since in April of that year the Constitutional Court in Pristina had declared a conviction case against seven indictees who had been sentenced to 6 years and 1 months in prison and 2 thousand euros in fines.

“pa gave you something does not work”

In this audio-incision about 70 thousand euros of state money to be given as government grants, but co- talkers do not get to the point of determining the bribe price, but are defined as not doing the job without bribery.

“Listen, I had coffee with him last night, he said... I don't know, man, they got me.”, report to X person Deputy Prime Minister Almir Veliji, telling him that he does not know how much bribe money must be demanded for a grant of nearly 70 thousand euros.

The same problem is shown by Deputy Minister Veliji when he addresses the X person, telling him that <x0 heai síta said exactly how much it can't?”.

That person reports to the deputy minister, showing him that the citizen who applied for the government grant has invested nearly 30 thousand euros in his design and expects an additional 70 thousand from the grant, which Veliji claims.

Although Deputy Minister Veliji says that he has not taken this form of mediation, he is convinced that without giving something, he cannot continue to apply.

“I've never had a dance like that. You know, without giving you something, they don't do it, do you understand?”, heard by Veliji.

Deputy Minister Veliji himself took the app of the person being asked for a bribe

In a later conversation, Deputy Prime Minister Veliji admits he received the app directly for this grant.

“Not what you told me before I didn't understand what you said, it was done, so I don't know man, you're always saying something like that, and I don't understand.” tells the person who communicates with Deputy Prime Minister Veliji until he reminds him that “That you sent me, for sending me for that farm friend”

“X: That sheet, that kind of application for that tender? Almir Veliji: Yeah yeah, I'm crying. Yeah, okay, what now? Almir Veliji: No, listen, I just told you the job was done, nothing else”

By the end of November 2022, the same deputy minister was publicly denounced for another relative who was accused of involvement in bribery and who received money in the bag.

Sir, sir. Minister, I invited you at your request to visit Switzerland. I took all the guarantees and made money deposits so that you could equip yourself with visas. I paid you your ticket. I waited for you at Basel Airport and sent you to the hotel in Zurich. I made you a hotel reservation, but you paid the hotel yourself, that's the truth! I drove you to Zurich, brought you to lunch and coffee. Have you forgotten that I bought you three pairs of suits, shoes and ties? Have you forgotten lunches and coffees in Kosovo? Did you forget when I sent you money for the Wsterunion? Did you forget I gave it to you at CHE Bar, $3,500 wrapped in a bag? You needed so much because of your debt back that you stole from your political subject”, He wrote Binak Sylaj on his profile.

Syla in this post also mentioned involvement in bribery for grants.

When one day I confronted you and told you you were involved in bribery about grants and cancelling grants applicants, that's where everything ends between us. The first because, you've used every human benefit from me, second because you're using official duty and car, filling the wave cards and a lot of other things. Never accuse anyone of slander or anything else, the truth is that. I don't blackmail he had written.

The newspaper Inseder had also published the reaction of Almir Velij. 18:14 ) November 24, 2022. He's told of the Inside Journal that everything that Syla said is true except for the bribery job.

I'm very clean, and that's why I'm very happy. It's not true that I took a bribe, and that's why I'm going to sue the person in question since tomorrow through my lawyer”, Veliji said about Insender.
