"Pamphlet" revealed that Skënder Dedja, his son Visjan, his wife Hajrie, his daughter Brunilda and his German son-in-law Marcel Alexander Düren used the construction business to launder the income of their six companies with mafia ties in Albania, Macedonia, Italy, Germany and Russia....
Following successive denunciations by "Pamphlet", regarding a vast money laundering network run by brothers Skënder and Qemal Dedja, specialists for the Investigation of Economic and Financial Crimes have launched an investigation into the latter.
Qemal Dedja was prosecuted after continuing construction work on a building while the building permit was suspended. The 57-year-old is also suspected of deceiving citizens by forging their signatures to enter into contracts for the purchase of apartments in a building for which there is no building permit, a money laundering scheme previously denounced by "Pamfleti".
"The Economic and Financial Crimes Investigation Specialists referred the materials to the Prosecutor's Office, where proceedings were initiated against citizen QD, 57 years old, as it is suspected that the entity he administers has continued construction work on a building, while the construction permit was suspended. It is also suspected that this citizen has deceived citizens, by forging their signatures, in order to enter into contracts for the purchase of apartments in this building," the Police announced.
The investigation by "Pamfleti" revealed the structure of 12 fictitious companies of Qemal Dedja that supplied black money to the constructions of his brother, Skënder Dedja. "Pamfleti" revealed that Skënder Dedja, his son Visjan, his wife Hajrie, his daughter Brunilda and his German son-in-law Marcel Alexander Düren used the construction business to launder the income of their six companies with mafia connections in Albania, Macedonia, Italy, Germany and Russia.
The data revealed that Skënder Dedja's financing of towers and palaces was carried out not only through the criminal activities of his own companies, but also through a network of 12 fictitious companies created by his brother, Qemal Dedja, a name known for illegal financing in construction and involvement in murder scenarios.
The companies "DEJA MARBLEUS", "Materia Cons.Al", "Materia Elite Stone", "OLSTRON", "Renewable Albania", "Redon Cargo Service" and others are used to collect undeclared funds and finance luxury construction.
In addition to the millions accumulated inside and outside Albania outside the banking system, they have undeclared income that is suspected to stem from illegal activities, carried out through three of their companies, for which they have not submitted balance sheets for 15–20 years. These companies are: “VBF Albania Transport International”, “Riviera Tourist Agency” and “Friendship of Peoples International Employment Agency”.
Under the logo of these entities, Skënder and Visjan Dedja, together with family members and illegal partners inside and outside Albania, have been charged with drug trafficking, clandestine trafficking, illegal transfer and transportation of monetary values, as well as transporting wanted persons with forged documents and smuggling valuables.
SHISH, Anti-Crime and Financial Intelligence reports over the years identify this structure as a criminal network that uses construction to legalize millions from dark sources.
Despite this, the National Council of Territorial Affairs, with the signature of Edi Rama, has approved the construction of two towers on the axis of Rruga e Kavaja, an area with record value in the real estate market. These two towers, with an investment value of 210 million euros, will be built by the company “Glob-3X Group Sh.pk”, with partners Skënder and Visjan Dedja, father and son, although according to financial data, they only have around 3.5 million euros in capital.
Qemal Dedja's network of 12 companies that collect millions of euros of black money for the Dedja brothers' towers:
- “DEJA MARBLEUS”, created on June 20, 2016, with quarrying and mining activities. Qemal Dedja has 80 percent of the shares and Laura Kokëdhima 20 percent. The company has been tax-free for nine years, but has a turnover of around 130 million euros per year outside the banks.
-Laura Kokëdhima, a close associate of Qemal Dedja, has secured millions illegally through the Italian company "CONSULTING SRL", where she is an administrator. On January 16, 2025, she created the "RENEWABLE ALBANIA" subsidiary in Tirana, entering as a financier in the construction of the Dedja group.
- “MATERIA ELITE STONE”, created on January 16, 2019, with 50 percent of the shares of Qemal Dedja and 50 percent of Skënder Ceveni, part of the illegal chrome network. The company has been without tax balances for six years.
- “DEJA WATER”, created on July 19, 2019, with sole owner Qemal Dedjan. It has been without tax balances for six years.
- "OLSTRON", created on September 2, 2022, with partners Qemal Dedjan and Fitim Goxhaj, known as an intermediary in illegal financing of luxury projects. Three years without a balance sheet.
- “Redon Cargo Service”, established on June 26, 2017, with maritime transport and tourist agency activities. 20 percent of the shares are owned by Artur Dedja, the 17-year-old son of Qemal Dedja at the time of establishment. Now eight years without tax balances.
- “MATERIA CONS 01”, created on November 9, 2019 by Qemal Dedja. After two weeks, he donated it to his 19-year-old son Artur Dedja. With this company, “Vlora Beach Tower” and six buildings in Vlora were built with undeclared financing. Now eight years without a balance sheet.
-“Materia Cons.Al”, created in 2015. It has financed the construction of 21 palaces, villa complexes and roads in Tirana, Vlora, Durrës and Kavajë. Ten years without tax balances and without declaring the source of funds.
-Two firms "Qemal Dedja-Person Fizik", with addresses at the former Dinamo Factory and Elbasani Street, used for the circulation of funds and works without financial documentation.
Qemal Dedja collects millions for his brothers' construction projects through his partners in the companies "Euro Edil", "Futura Energy" and "Porto Romano Industrial Park", all without balance sheets and with activities outside tax control.
Strong evidence of involvement in money laundering and organized crime
-On August 4, 2012, Qemal Dedja was injured with a gun during a conflict over the division of parts in several buildings in Vlora and Tirana. He had illegally financed millions of euros in these projects. The conflict took place between his group and Alban Xhillari's group.
-In the "SKY ECC" wiretaps, his name appears as a money launderer in construction, financier of police and criminals for revelations and revenge after the murder of his nephew, Klevis Lleshi.
This network is a structure involved in money laundering, illegal financing of construction and obtaining construction permits based on criminal capital. It remains to be seen how far this investigation will go./ Pamphlet
