The Special Court has closed the case of abuse of tenders in the Tirana Waterworks, declaring three former officials of the Tirana Waterworks, Ledia Ramo, Ortjon Dhami and Engjëll Dedja, who SPAK accused of "Violation of the equality of participants in public tenders or auctions", for a tender worth ALL 1.5 billion for chemicals and active carbon for UKT.
The only one convicted in this matter is the businessman Bledar Shemaj, who, taking advantage of the shortened trial, will be on probation for a period of 8 (eight) months, provided that he does not commit another criminal offense.
From the investigations, SPAK came to the conclusion that the three UKT officials have favored the company "W Center sh.pk", with partner and administrator, Bledar Shemaj, by changing the tender criteria, but GJKKO does not think so.
