Arben Ahmetaj is officially under investigation by the Special Prosecutor’s Office.

Sources for Euronews Albania inform that the name of the former deputy prime minister is listed in the register of the person against whom investigations are underway for three criminal offenses such as “Abuse of duty”, “Passive corruption” and “Cleaning of the proceeds of a criminal offence”.

In the document provided by Euronews Albania, it is reported that the citizen of Erjola Hoxha is not related to the investigation being carried out by the prosecution.

According to SPAK, the control in her apartment is related to the fact that she is the cohabitant of the former deputy prime minister and the ties she has with him.

Ahmetaj is being investigated by the Special Prosecutor’s Office regarding his involvement in the incinerators case. A few days ago, he objected to the checks carried out in the apartment of his co-habitant, as well as the apartment of his ex-wife.

In the appeal, it was cited that the controls are in violation of the Constitution and violate the sovereignty of the Assembly of the Republic of Albania. The control was carried out in a villa in the Hamallaj area, where 30 thousand euros and a number of documents related to this building were seized. Meanwhile, only a few documents were seized from the ex-wife’s house.
