An “Iphone 11” phone that the BKH seized from Viola Haxhiademi, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, has been the cause of the discovery of the luxury villa in the “White Rocks” complex, which is suspected to belong to the country’s former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku.
From the examination of this phone in October 2024, several compromising emails of the senior official at the MEI, Viola Haxhiademi, and Belinda Ballukut herself were discovered.
According to documents obtained by journalist Elton Qyno, Viola Haxhiademi, with the position of Director of the Administrative Department at “Albcontrol”, communicates with her sister, Dorela Haxhiademi, whom she informs that Belinda Balluku, at the time Director of “Albcontrol”, has a residential unit in the “White Rocks” complex.
From the examination of the expert report no. 203 dated October 8, 2024, where the mobile phone “Iphone 11 Pro”, seized from Viola Haxhiademi, was expertized, it resulted that the documents show that on February 13, 2018, at around 8:27 p.m., an e-mail was sent from the e-mail address vhaxhiademi@XXXX.com to the e-mail address of her sister ” dorela_h@XXXX.com “.
The e-mail has the following content:
“…sweetheart, I’m sending you Bela’s photos, so you can understand what stage the house is in. I’ve also sent you the project plan, so you can see what it’s about. Bela has an F-5 while we have an F-6. If you look at the photo I took closer to the villas, she also drew where the pool will be. I like it a lot. Рuuuuсссс”.
The villa owned by the Haxhiademi sisters turns out to be registered in the name of their mother, Eleni Haxhiademi.
The investigation revealed that the email address ” vhaxhiademi@xxx.com ” is one of the email addresses of citizen Viola Haxhiademi.
It also turns out that citizen Vioala Haxhiademi has a sister, Dorela Haxhiademi. The above communications refer to two residential units in the “White Rocks” complex, Drimadhes, Gjilek, Dhërmi, built by the “Eurocol” company.
The investigation group at SPAK links the taking of one of the villas where Belinda Balluku lives, as a corrupt act and money laundering, related to a favoritism procedure for two tenders that were conducted in 2018 at the General Directorate of “Albcontrol”, which at the time was headed by Belinda Balluku.
According to the SPAK investigation, the goal was “Reconstruction of the technological building of “AlbControl” to improve conditions”. By order of Belinda Balluku in October 2014, Altin Premti’s studio “Atelier 4” was contracted to study the building’s project.
SPAK claims that everything was predetermined because 1 month later, on November 5, 2014, businessman Fejzi Kodra sent an SMS to another businessman, Pandeli Carapuli, saying: “…Atelier 4 sent the estimate and says that we are waiting for your confirmation before sending it to “AlbControl…”.
Meanwhile, just 1 day after this message, on November 6, 2016, Pandeli Carapuli sends a message to Fejzi Kodra saying:
Berberi.evis@gmail.com ” and Fejzi Kodra, returns the message: “I sent it to him.
Meanwhile, on November 11, 2014, at 10:57, businessman Fejzi Kodra sends an SMS to businessman Pandeli Carapuli as follows:
“…for your information, nothing has been published on the APP website yet…”.
On the other hand, at 11:27, Pandeli Carapuli writes: “…look, this last one was announced. Great…”.
At 11:39, Fejzi Kodra writes to Carapul, saying: “Keep the date announced yesterday: “Reconstruction of the AlbControll technological building.”
Meanwhile, at 11:39, citizen Pandeli Carapuli writes to Kodra: “…Ok, let’s start preparations.”
From the acts administered in relation to the procurement procedure with the object: “Reconstruction of the technological building of Albcontrol for the improvement of conditions”, according to the prosecution, it results that Belinda Balluku, in the capacity of the head of the contracting authority, with the duty of General Director of “Albcontrol” sh.a, in cooperation with the members of the Procurement Unit, citizens Silvana Piciri, Egmont Ngjela, Viola Haxhiademi, Anila Malaj, as well as citizen Evis Berberi, Chairman of the Bid Evaluation Committee, simultaneously Head of the Procurement Sector at Albcontrol, have acted in violation of the law “On public procurement rules”.

The investigation has resulted in the order contract no. 1059 dated December 5, 2018, concluded between Igli Tare, in the capacity of the customer, and the company “Eurocol” represented by administrator Pandeli Carapuli, in the capacity of the entrepreneur, ordering an individual two-story villa type Begonia with no.

The contract stipulates that the fenced plot available to the villa is no less than 300 m², where within the plot area the villa has an area of 103 m², the villa also has a veranda of 34 m², and the parking space is located within the plot area.
The deadline for completion of the works is set for December 2018.

While the remaining 75,000 Euros has not yet been paid.
According to the SPAK file, Villa F-6 continues to be owned by the “Eurocol” company of businessman Pandeli Carapuli. The transfer of the property to the name of Igli Tare has not yet been completed in the ownership certificate, as the liquidation of the amount of 75 thousand euros has not been made.
During his testimony to the prosecution, Carapuli stated that he made the contract with Igli Tare, as he had been friends with the latter for a long time. He also did not care who he gave the house to, Igli Tare./ Elton Qyno, syritv
