Considered the most influential character at the moment under Edi Rama and as a man who opens every door to power, Ron Yeffet has been declared non grata for fraud with serious consequences by several countries from Africa to Europe.
Every Albanian government seems to have its own Fazllic. If Sali Berisha had the Bosnian Serb Damir Fazllic, for whom he had placed his government at his disposal, laundering money with his son-in-law and daughter, a Fazllic has begun to appear behind the curtains of the Rama government at the end of the third term and at the beginning of the fourth term. We are talking about the Israeli blitzkrieg Ron Yeffet, who has taken over the state arms company KAYO, as an instrument to get his hands on the state budget and to extend control over the military's properties.
Considered the most influential character at the moment under Edi Rama and as a man who opens every door to power, Ron Yeffet has been declared non grata for fraud with serious consequences by several countries from Africa to Europe.
Ron Yeffet, who sleeps at the Government Villa in the former Block, is being investigated by several NATO member countries as a suspected figure behind the ELBI SYSTEM weapons company, suspected of having ties to Russian and Chinese circles.
Yeffet exploits connections with power to acquire public property, state contracts or market monopolies, while operating as the main broker for the acquisition of public money and assets for a circle of Albanian and foreign businessmen.
Ron Yeffet, who is presented everywhere as Edi Rama's most trusted hand, deceiving businessmen and speaking on behalf of the prime minister, is also suspected of having connections with an Albanian arms company, beneficiary of secret tenders, with connections to groups in Colombia. Some Albanian businessmen are reportedly seeking Yeffet, after he took millions of euros from them by guaranteeing that he would finish their affairs with the state and local government.
Some are seeing the opportunity to report him to the Prosecutor's Office for fraud, others are looking for him inside and outside the country to hold him accountable for the deals that have remained pending. He has promised businessmen that he will take away tenders and concessions, publicly-owned properties, strategic investor status, construction permits for towers and resorts, etc.
Ron Yeffet, former honorary consul of Senegal in Tel Aviv, is under investigation by Senegalese justice for suspicious agreements regarding the appropriation of several state properties. Yeffet had acquired an area of 10 thousand square meters of coastal land in the Plateau area of Dakar, where he planned to build a marina and several residential towers. A project like the one envisaged by businessman Alabbar in the Port of Durres. But the project of the Israeli Yeffet was never realized. This is due to the change of power in March 2024 in Senegal. OFNAC, the National Office for the Fight against Fraud and Corruption, made the file public and decided to review the contract.
In Albania, the Israeli fraudster stands (especially in the last two years) behind a cartel of companies registered in Tirana with suspicious activity.
Ron Yeffet's name is associated with the companies UNO18, TIMAK DEFENCE, Timak, Timac, ADVANCED ARMS TECHNOLOGY, 1820 Albania, 1820 Black Oil, etc., with activities in the fields of weapons, oil, electronic money, metal constructions, etc.
Ron Yeffet turns out to be a partner with the Israeli Asaf Barazani, who turns out to be the owner of "Casino Vlora" and is suspected of links to the "Milton" mafia group operating in the Call Center field, accused of profiting millions of euros through fraud of European citizens, mainly in Spain, investigated by Europol and Eurojust.
Yeffet is also a partner in several companies with Sinan Idrizi, known for international fraud, money laundering and affairs. In 2018, the two of them, through the company “Mifol Inert sh.pk”, used gravel and pebbles from the Vjosa River without permission to build the runway of the Vlora airport. That same year, Idrizi created “MDN Investment sh.pk” for airport construction and terminal management. Just a few months after its establishment, the shares were formally sold to his wife and daughter, Najada and Rejana Idrizi, as well as to Yeffet.
Then, through fictitious purchases and sales, the company came back under the control of the Idrizi family, remaining directly linked to “Air Albania”. The scheme is clear: shell companies, intra-family share purchases and sales, and transfers to international brokers like Yeffet, to cover up money laundering and hide real ownership.
In January of this year, former Finance Minister Arben Ahmetaj publicly stated that Rama had asked him to sell Albania's public debt to Mr. Yeffet. In addition to the debt, Ron Yeffet attempted another adventure in Albania. This was the takeover of the Albanian embassy in the United States of America in order to build residential units on its territory.
Yeffet had attempted something similar in Senegal, with the construction of a building for the Senegalese delegation to the UN. The attempt to privatize Albania's sovereign land in the US did not go through, as it was opposed by the former Foreign Minister at the time, Ditmir Bushati, who refused to sign the alienation of the embassy.
Yeffet sells Arjeta Puca's military equipment business
On June 17, 2025, a strange business transaction occurred. Timak, a company that manufactures, converts, and assembles metal and plastic structures for vehicles, sold 49 percent of its shares.
Timak is a company that has been heavily promoted by the government recently. Its owner, Arjeta Puca, has been invited to Prime Minister Edi Rama's podcast, while the company's premises in Kashar have been visited several times by government ministers.
However, Ms. Puca decided to sell 49 percent of the shares of her flagship company, so much trumpeted by the government, for a price of only 490 euros. The buyer was Ron Yeffet, an Israeli with Albanian citizenship and secretly very close to Edi Rama.
What prompted Mrs. Puca to sell her business so cheaply? Everything would become clear only two months later. The sale was a targeted shooting, the explosions of which were heard in Ardi Veliu's office.
At the height of the summer season, while most Albanians were on vacation, precisely on August 4, the state-owned military company Kayo and Timak established a joint company. The company is called Timak Defence and is owned 80 percent by Timak and 20 percent by the state-owned company Kayo.
The company's object is the production or adaptation of special motor vehicles with an open architecture that allows the installation of weapon systems and any other system required by the armed forces or other security structures, for use by the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania, security and civil emergency structures and other domestic or international clients.
In short, this is the company that will have the monopoly of supplying the army, police, guard, civil emergencies, etc. with vehicles. The company's place of operation will be in the former vehicle spare parts factory in Shkoza.
The state's monopoly on supplying vehicles is a very big business, tens of millions of euros a year. But it still remains unclear what the added value is that the company creates. Given that Albania cannot produce vehicles, the chances are that this will be a trade with little added value, with the new company Timak Defence, which imports vehicles from abroad and adapts them locally./ Prapaskena
