Exclusive: Even Nagip Krasniqi's deputy was investigated for corruption, suspected of a 1.6 million (document) tender.

On Tuesday during the day, the Kosovo Energy Corporation Board has suspended chief executive chief Nagip Krasniqi from work following the arrest of Kosovo Police, under suspicion of misusing with official office and authority, while in his place has been appointed Progress Kabashi, currently Central Unit for Planning and Strategy at KEK. But even [...]
However, even the latter seem to have a poor standing with justice.
In a document provided by Periscope, reportedly against Kabashi in March 2022 had begun investigations into misuse of official duty with the aim of profiting the other person, writes Periscope.
He allegedly failed to verify whether the procedures developed for “the taste of the Thrvill” in the value of 1.6m euros have been in line with the law regarding procurement activity.
On this, he has committed the criminal act of misusing official office or authority.
Progress Kabashi in the quality of the Executive Chief's U.D. has misused the official position by adopting the criteria of the minimum price of this tender contrary to past contracts for the sale of coal, as well as the value of coal in the market.
With these actions, it has caused KEK the loss, which, according to estimates, turns out to be at least 1.23m euros -- all to create favors for itself and others.
Based on documents, the tender for selling coal has been prosecuted with a host of violations, but Progress Kabashi as a U.d. KEK's chief executive has signed an harmful contract for the sale of coal with the Economic Operator, who has offered the freest offer for no reason, eliminating bids at the highest purchase price for nearly 300 thousand euros, actions that have caused KEK loss of over 1.53m euros.
These actions contradict the regulation for asset sales, Article 3 points 3.1 and 6, points 6.2 and 6.3, and Article 9 and LPP, Article 6.
We remember that last week, KEK chief chief chief Nagip Krasniqi, has been arrested on suspicion of three criminal acts of “the use of official position or authority”, “impact control” and “Conflict of interest”, while against Krasniqi, the court has set the detention measure in the 30-day term./Periscopi/
