Journalist Klodiana Lala spoke about the task force set up by SPAK to identify and prevent electoral crimes. Lala listed some of the cases where electoral crimes are suspected, but added that expectations towards SPAK and the institutions were higher and that there have been no arrests in flagrante delicto, as is expected for crimes of this nature.
She emphasized that in one case, around 200 million old lek were found in the home of a businessman who was suspected of buying votes in favor of a candidate on the SP's open list.
"I had much higher expectations for the task force that was set up by SPAK for the election investigation. The prosecution has reported cases, there are over 35 cases that are criminal proceedings, mainly in the field of corruption or other criminal offenses, related to the elections and are being investigated. Arrests have been reported, related to the father of a PSD MP, in Fier, there have been several other people in Kukës for PSD, while the most important issues that need to be seen are related to the Elbasan district. There is an issue that during the checks, about 200 million old lek were found, in the house of a businessman who is suspected of buying votes in favor of a candidate on the open list of the SP, but he claimed that it is money due to business activity. SPAK has doubts that it would be used for buying and selling votes, so there have been checks at several bases or apartments and personal checks of several people. I say it is an interesting case, because the wiretaps were later linked to the amount of money, but there are no people arrested.
There have also been some developments, regarding Shkodra, there have been checks, the mobile phone of the mayor of Vau i Dejës, who is from the SP, has been seized, meanwhile there have been checks at the bases and homes of people suspected of electoral crime. There have been no arrests but I think there is interest as a matter and mobile phones are being examined. We have the case of Kavaja, Elvis Rroshi, the former mayor of Kavaja, we know that he has switched from one political force to another. His cousin was running for the DP. In this case, the police have made a referral for electoral crime. What I have found with concern has to do with the fact that the State Police has not been cooperative despite appearing as such on the surface and has mainly referred cases related to the opposition. That is how I have seen what the police have done in relation to these elections.
Was there vote buying? I believe this and the figures show it. Was there any use of the administration in the elections? This is a universally known fact, just look at the campaigns, the use of ministers' vehicles, the electoral asphalt, but they are not necessarily within the competence of SPAK. I expected much more from the election task force. There was an agreement between the institutions and there could have been arrests in flagrante delicto. But we must bear in mind that electoral crime can be punished even later. However, I believe that there will be those who will be punished ", said Lala on the show "Të Paekspozuarit".
