He was also founder of the TV channel, Agon. In 2009, the Prosecution ordered the confiscation of all of Becchetti\u2019s accumulated wealth in our country, including Agon Channel, following a money-laundering investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Our government also withdrew Becchetti\u2019s rights to the concession in Kalivac, with the argument that there was a breach of contract.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Becchetti didn\u2019t leave it at that and took the Albanian government to court by going into arbitration. In the case concerning the seizure of his TV channel, Becchetti sued the Albanian government, for indiscretions and a politically influenced verdict.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Becchetti and his channel\u2019s investors won their case against the Albanian state, which now owes Becchetti and his team and whopping \u20ac109 million euros.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/10\/11\/sp-to-vote-against-the-inquiry-commission-on-becchetti-trial\/\">SP to vote against the Inquiry Commission on \u2018Becchetti\u2019 trial<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/04\/06\/dps-basha-no-albanian-will-go-into-debt-to-educate-their-child\/\">DP\u2019s Basha: No Albanian will go into debt to educate their child<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/10\/12\/no-deals-with-the-opposition-to-extend-vetting-mandates-in-exchange-for-territorial-reform-said-balla\/\">No deals with the opposition in exchange for territorial reform, said Balla<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democratic Party submitted a request to the Constitutional Court today, regarding Parliament\u2019s decision to reject the formation of an Inquiry Commission on the Becchetti trial.
