However, he also turns out to be a strategic investor in Albania, a builder of hydropower plants, and an owner of hydropower licenses. Let&#8217;s not forget that he is one of Putin&#8217;s closest people. The question is rightly asked, how is it possible that the money is used to lobby against the opposition? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Through this story, Albanians learned, as I have stated many times, that international corruption was used to fight anti-corruption in Albania. Listen to what McGonigal&#8217;s partner in the joint firm they set up in Tirana, Mark Rossini, says. Even this former high official. In a paid statement, in 2019, he says that Berisha is a puppet of Putin. On behalf of Edi Rama. So this was an offensive of the &#8216;corruptocracy&#8217; against the opposition&#8221; &#8211; said Berisha.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/arrest-of-the-former-fbi-official-rama-reacts\/\">Arrest of the former FBI official, Rama reacts<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/shehaj-madness-the-great-post-that-the-arrested-former-fbi-official-would-receive-from-rama\/\">Shehaj: Madness, the great post that the arrested former FBI official would receive from Rama<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/andi-bushati-why-is-edi-rama-scared-today-unlike-ever-before\/\">Andi Bushati: Why is Edi Rama scared today, unlike ever before?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of the DP, Sali Berisha has stated that Oleg Deripaska, who is the closest person to Russian President Vladimir Putin, turned out to be a strategic investor of the head of the Albanian government, Edi Rama.
