According to Shehaj’s claims, French authorities arrested Beqiraj after he allegedly flew over a nuclear facility in France. The opposition lawmaker also claimed that surveillance devices were found in his possession and that French authorities are investigating possible links to an alleged espionage network.
Questions Over Access to Sensitive Information
In his statement, Shehaj raised concerns about Beqiraj’s alleged role in the technology sector and his connections with Albanian state institutions.
The MP argued that the case goes beyond the arrest of an individual and raises broader questions about the protection of citizens’ personal data and the security of government digital systems.
According to Shehaj, Beqiraj was a person who had knowledge of highly sensitive state systems, making the case a matter of national security concern.
Investigations Continue
At this stage, the allegations remain claims made by political figures, while the details of the French investigation have not yet been fully disclosed publicly.
The case has reignited debate in Albania over cybersecurity, protection of government databases, and the management of sensitive digital infrastructure.
Authorities in France are expected to clarify the circumstances surrounding Beqiraj’s arrest, while Albanian political actors are demanding answers about whether state security protocols were properly followed.
The case is likely to remain under close attention in both Albania and France as further information emerges from the ongoing investigation.
