The U.S. Assistant Secretary says it will be continued with a grant to the corrupts in Albania, the SPAK's work calls fantastic

So he declared during an interview for Top Channel television, during the two-day stop in Tirana, under an official visit to March 18th-19th.

Likewise, Robinson has stressed the unconditional support of the SPAK Special Prosecutor in fighting corruption at high levels and has labeled it <x0fantistic “” the work of prosecutors in the high investigative body, which he himself has conceived.

He stressed during the interview that the US will help and encourage in any instance the establishment of the legal state in Albania and the American law enforcement bodies are here to help.

Robinson interview:

What is the message you gave special anti-corruption prosecutors and you insist on repeating it again?

Todd D. Robinson: We gave a number of messages. First, that they're doing a fantastic job and not just... SPAK, but all independent law agencies are doing fantastic work, a fantastic job that ordinary Albanians did not see when I was here, for example, in 2004-2006.

That was the first message; second, the United States government is here to help with their work. What I told them was, resources are limited around the world. But one of the countries where we don't mind spending our resources is here in Albania, because of the excellent work these institutions are doing.

And the last message is that our goal is to keep helping we have a great team here. DEA is here. The Justice Department is here. The FBI is here. We're doing a lot of work with the prison system.

And we intend to continue that job because it's important to the United States relationship Albania. But more because it is important that ordinary Albanians see this job done and see that it is being supported by the international community.

You stayed at a meeting with the chief prosecutor of the SPAK and went back to reports from the Embassy on meeting with people of justice I realized that your main message or you had conveyed a message of courage and courage to people of justice who investigate and declare decisions. Can you share with us some of the advice or messages you gave to SPAK special prosecutors during these meetings?

Todd D. Robinson: As I said before, we want them to know they have our support. We understand their needs and what they want to receive from our cooperation.

We want them to understand that we know it's not easy and there's still a lot of work to do. But the message is, if they have the will to do the hard work, we're here to help.

And he's not alone. SPAK, it's all independent agencies. It's the justice system. It's the prison system. You know, we want to work with the ministries, we want to work with the executive. We don't want to exclude anyone.

We want to be in a comprehensive relationship so that everyone, from the ordinary citizens you mentioned earlier, to the ministries and independent institutions, the institutions of justice, we want everyone to work together now and towards the future.

We think that, you know, we want to thank these institutions for their work in the past, what they are doing now, but more importantly, what they are going to do in the future, to make Albania a better partner, to make Europe a better partner, and ultimately, to make our global alliance stronger against these international organised criminals.

State Department and Treasury Department have declared non-women to people of politics and business. Will you continue to do this, and is this an effective arrangement?

Todd D. Robinson: We will use every means we have available to chase corrupt actors and help Albanian institutions come after corrupt actors.

We have a number of tools and non-grath proclamations and visa sanctions are among them, and we will continue to use them because they are effective ways to ensure that those important officials, high-level officials, senior government officials realize that for acts of corruption there is a price to pay and all the means we have available will be put to work against those corrupt actors.
