Agron Shehaj has released new documents that further accuse Adriatik Lapaj of connections with "MERKAJ INVEST," a company under investigation for money laundering by SPAK. Shehaj also alleges that the company is linked to Lapaj’s father-in-law, a former judge removed from his position through the vetting process.
Revealing Documents
Shehaj has presented two key documents that, according to him, substantiate these allegations:
A sale-purchase contract of a multimillion-euro coastal property involving the accused company, its owners, and Adriatik Lapaj. In this agreement, Lapaj is responsible for registering the court’s decision and securing the property certificate.
A screenshot from the court’s website, which, according to Shehaj, proves that the case was handled by Lapaj’s father-in-law, who at the time served as the head of the court.
Shehaj’s Accusations
Shehaj has strongly condemned the alleged corruption, stating:
"This is a grand theater! A massive deception orchestrated by Edi Rama. This corrupt and rotten system has elevated Adriatik Lapaj, given him media access, funded him, and protected him. They want to send compromised and easily controlled individuals to Parliament."
Lapaj’s Legal Response
On the other hand, Adriatik Lapaj has announced that he will take legal action against Shehaj’s accusations, stating that he intends to file a lawsuit for defamation.
