SP parliamentary group leader Taulant Balla made public yesterday in parliament the contract signed by Muzin Capital and Democratic Party (DP) relating to funding and the lobbying in the US.
He read the passport number of DP leader Lulzim Basha, as a signatory to this contract, after statements by the latter that he was unaware of the funding.
Balla has asked Basha to give explanations for the $ 500,000 he paid for lobbying. He also mentioned former DP deputy Jozefina Topalli and current MP Arben Ristani."You have signed the contract. Here's the passport number. Lulzim Basha and Muzin. The contract between Muzin Capital Partners and DP. It was a legal obligation for you to have been deposited this in Central Election Commission (CEC). You know all about, and how is possible that you do not know this. Also this drug-drug story is also part of a Russian scenario to tarnish Albania, for sure. You have people within your close staff who have been in contact with these people to destabilize Albania. You said you doesn't recognize Biniata Trade, here they are on paper. I hope that it is not true that Putin has chosen an ally like you in Albania. This memo explains all. Now, Lulzim get up, and tell where DP found 500,000 dollars to pay a single hand on June 9, 2017? Where did you found these money, if you have more, will be a good thing to give to the Kamza Municipality, so they will increase the economic aid fund. That is, for one month, Kamza municipality has increased its economic assistance. Where did you found these 500 thousand dollars, Lulzim? We are dealing here with a very serious scandal when we first have suspicious sources involving businessmen with Russian citizenship, of shore companies. How did Jozefina managed to get out of this without fault, where did you put the DP without permission...
Lulzim you should not hide behind Arben Ristan. You do not know what you did. Even when you put him in the list, you put him with the intention to eliminate him politically. What should know Arben Ristani. You did not even put this signature in Albania. Finish your 2 minutes and go to the Prosecution." Balla said.
