Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj reacted again this Sunday from Durrës Prison, accusing prosecutor Ols Dado of acting against him on behalf of Sali Berisha while also naming judge Bami as having complied with the request.

“Olsi Dado’s blind attack against me and my family is nothing but a ‘contract killing’ on behalf of Sali Fundërrina. His rag of a case, woven with blatant mistakes and shameless malice, followed by the activation of the butcher Sali Fundërrinist—who, ironically, even shares my name (Erion)—made my removal from the leadership of Tirana Municipality a reality, right in the middle of the campaign,” Veliaj wrote.

“There is no doubt anymore that this so-called prosecutor, who is actually a ‘hitman for hire,’ frantically distributed his nonsense-filled file across the online cesspools of the DP even before I had a chance to see it myself, in his private sewer. But since today is Sunday, let me take you on a little tour to page 35, point 19,” Veliaj continued.

Veliaj Reads From the Prosecutor’s File

“Furthermore, it is stated that per diems for official foreign travel and flight tickets, which must be purchased by the Contracting Authority, the Municipality of Tirana, through public procurement procedures, have been declared as income. Given these circumstances, the question arises: who covered the travel expenses of Erion Veliaj, considering he saved per diems?”

“And imagine, this same clown, in his 2009 asset declaration, states: ‘Income obtained from per diems’! Not only that, but in the same declaration, Bruce Dado claims as his own income the amounts ‘transferred by the Council of Europe for travel per diems.’ There’s nothing wrong with that, let’s be clear!”

Veliaj’s Questions for Prosecutor Dado

Veliaj argues that despite being arrested without trial, he will not be silenced. He then raises several questions for prosecutor Dado:

• Why is the prosecutor surprised that I declared per diems as income, when he himself has done the same?

• If in my case, the prosecutor asks, ‘Who covered Erion Veliaj’s travel expenses since he saved per diems?’ then isn’t there a reasonable suspicion that Ols Dado himself may have engaged in wrongdoing in his own declarations?

• Why is it that in his case, per diems are considered legitimate income, but in my case, it’s an offense punishable by imprisonment without trial?

Further, Veliaj questions:

• Has Ols Dado traveled for official duties inside or outside the country over the years?

• Has he received per diems for these trips?

• Or did he not take them because he didn’t need them?

• Because if he did receive them and failed to declare them, at best, he committed false declaration, and at worst, the same question he asked about me applies to him: who covered his expenses if he didn’t need the state-funded per diems?

• If he traveled on unofficial contacts and saved his per diems because others covered his expenses, should those be declared too?

Veliaj: “They Thought They Could Silence Me”

“Dear friends, let me continue dismantling this farcical case even on this Sunday.

“They surely thought that by locking me up without trial, they would shut me up. And they’re not wrong—Sali did the same when he exiled his medical colleagues. But this ‘colleague’ of mine, Ols Angoni, has no idea who he has tangled with, even though he calls himself Bruce Willis and flexes his muscles at BKH officers (well, Bruce, go ahead, add this to your list of ‘threats’ against your thick-skulled head).”

“He has no clue, the failure, and he couldn’t possibly have one. But I’ll teach him—patiently, piece by piece—until this joke of a case he cooked up against me is exposed and completely discredited, except perhaps by those who use him as a tool for their own ends.”

“The real problem here is that this guy, who once served as the mouthpiece of the then-General Prosecutor, has now been armed with SPAK’s sword to decapitate innocent people—using arguments so ridiculous that only a half-wit and half-criminal would dare to write them.”

Veliaj: “This Prosecutor Is a Threat to Common Sense”

“According to tax law, the term ‘per diem’ refers to meal expenses, which all state employees receive from the state budget. This means that these expenses are neither procured nor can they be, because under this thick-headed man’s logic, state employees would have to enter a bidding process to see who gets the least money for food! Do you understand how incompetent, shameless, and brainless this guy is?”

“Moreover, declaring a certain amount as income and specifying its source does not mean that amount was saved. And even more so, if that amount was passed on by a third party… Yet, somehow, this prosecutor finds that suspicious.”

“This man, who should be stripped of his professional license for being a threat to common sense, should instead receive free medical treatment for a severe case of water on the brain!”

“In fact, proper declaration legitimizes spending, whereas failure to declare raises questions about who covered one’s travel expenses. But imagine dealing in 2025 with the outdated, twisted logic of State Security in 1975!”

“Heh-heh-heh… Ols Violina…”
