Director Ducka brought them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">This company is under deep investigation in China and the US simultaneously. Dorian Ducka, according to the FBI, is staying in the prime minister&#8217;s antechamber. He uses a government email and address. According to FBI investigations, he uses an Albanian government email address and an Albanian government address.
