A subx0> company formed”, with capital of just 10,000 euros and only 5 employees, was chosen to manage a million-euro investment.

That's not all.

Periscopi learns from sources within the Ministry of Agriculture that the contract is deliberately being kept hidden by the media and the public, raising doubts about favouring an economic operator that was registered in the ARBK, five days after public announcement was issued.

Despite the public contract, it is not found on the Agency's website or the Ministry of Agriculture.

It is not even known how many years this factory, which has cost the country over 8 million euros, has been exploited.

Specifications say the start will be the day of signing the contract “and will end depending on the years appointed during the negotiations between the OE and the AK”.

A proclamation that requires an operator who has worked in this direction, but one of the shareholders is a construction company, contradicting the public criteria that the Food Agency has announced.

Thirteen-15m euros are required to have circulation in a fiscal year for the winner in the respective field, but it is founded only 5 days after the public call was announced.
