Langzeit Gas Mafia, auch vor 15 Jahren bekannt, der Grossen Mafia Bosse in Albanien. Offshore Firma, ohne Registrierung in Albanien, also Steuer Betrug seit Jahren. Es bleiben viele Fragen, über Zoll, Polizei und Steuerbehörden. 20 Jahre nur illegale Firmen, Aktivitäten für die Albaner Mafia und mit viel Bestechungsgeld.

They were building a ‚TEC‘ on public property without a permit, the 2 engineers were arrested; the owner and the administrator were declared wanted
Two engineers have been arrested by the Delvina police, after being accused of illegally building a gas plant (TEC) on public property.
According to the police, the arrested are Elton Malkaj and Luan Metaj. Meanwhile, the owner and administrator of the company Sokol Meqemaj and Juglerd Ibrahimi are wanted.
„As part of the measures taken to prevent and crack down on cases of illegal construction that violate the territory and the environment, the structures of the Economic and Financial Crime Investigation Section of the Vlora Police Department, in cooperation with the inspectors of the Tirana IKMT and the Environmental Inspectorate, exercised control over a private entity (gas company) in Delvina.
During the inspection, it was found that this company was building a gas plant (TEC), on public property, without a construction and development permit from the competent authorities.
At the conclusion of the first procedural actions, Criminal Investigation specialists arrested the following citizens in flagrante delicto:
EM, 31 years old, responsible for the gas plant, and LM, 53 years old, responsible for the construction site, both suspected of the criminal offenses „Illegal construction“, with the intention of profit, and „Land occupation“.
Also, the following citizens were declared wanted:
SM, 56 years old, the owner of the company, and JI, 36 years old, the company administrator, both also suspected of the criminal offenses of “Illegal construction”, with the intention of profit, and “Land occupation”.
„The IKMT has kept a record of the violation and has blocked the works on this object. The procedural materials were referred to the Prosecutor’s Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Saranda, for further action,“ the police announced.
Sokol Meqemeja’s black file: How the empire of 12 hydroelectric power plants, gas and illegal assets was built…
12 hydropower plants in Mat and Librazhd, 2 35-year BOT contracts, 3 gas fields, offshore company in BVI, uncompetitive tender with Albpetrol and illegal construction on state property, the facts that are sinking his empire
Sokol Meqemeja, a shady figure in Albanian business, has been officially declared wanted by the State Police after the discovery of the construction of an illegal gas plant on public property in Delvina.
But this is not just a construction violation, it is the beginning of the dismantling of an entire enrichment mechanism, which is built on dubious concessions, non-competitive contracts, offshore structures, and secret connections with powerful people and the underworld.
Sources from the investigation confirm that, in addition to the accusation of illegal construction, Meqemeja is also being investigated for using some of his companies to launder money in favor of a criminal group in the Elbasan region. Part of the high fictitious turnover is suspected of being used to introduce drug and illegal trafficking funds into the economy, through the purchase of real estate and the use of companies as a cover.
Sokol Meqemeja started in the food industry. In 1999, he founded “Frigo Food” sh.pk, a company that in a few years became one of the largest importers of meat and by-products in Albania. He secured the exclusivity for “Wudy” sausages, built a strong sales network and created a considerable capital, which would serve as a springboard for his expansion into other sectors.
In September 2022, when the AKU confirmed the presence of Listeria bacteria in several batches of „Wudy“, Meqemeja reacted with arrogance: he consumed the salami in front of the cameras, using a theatrical and defiant style that characterizes him in crisis management. A man who knows no bounds when it comes to public image and challenging institutions…………….
Has the Meqemeja empire been used as a „laundry machine“ for millions of euros coming from drug trafficking and other criminal activities?
For more than 20 years, Sokol Meqemeja was the symbol of a silent enrichment model: benefiting from public contracts, hiding behind offshores, illegal construction, uncompetitive tenders and silent connections with senior politicians.

Hydropower plants: Meqemeja gold factory on the rivers of Albania
Sokol Meqemeja has built his real fortune on the country’s rivers. More precisely, over twelve hydroelectric power plants acquired under two BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) concession contracts, granted by the Albanian government for a period of 35 years. These are among the largest and most favorable concessions ever granted to a single entrepreneur in the energy sector.
First concession: Mati HPPs – “Energy Partners AL”
The company “ENERGY PARTNERS AL” sh.pk, established in 2009, is the foundation of Meqemeja’s control over 5 hydropower plants in the Mati district: Zall-Gjoçaj, Rukaj, Urake, Gure, and Reç. The initial value of the declared investment was 1.46 billion lek, but according to the latest data, the real investment is much lower.
Sipas QKB-së, 70% e aksioneve të kësaj kompanie i përkasin “Frigo Food” sh.p.k., pra vetë Meqemejës, ndërsa pjesa tjetër zotërohet nga partnerë formalë. Në praktikë, ai ka kontroll absolut. Kontrata është e strukturuar me termat më të favorshëm të mundshëm: fitimi mbetet 100% te kompania për 35 vjet, ndërkohë që shteti nuk ka asnjë përfitim direkt përveç një takse minimale qiraje.
Për më tepër, kontrata përfshin jo vetëm ndërtimin e hidrocentraleve, por edhe të drejtën e ekskluzive për përdorimin e ujit, shfrytëzimin e infrastrukturës ndihmëse dhe aksesin në rrjetin e shpërndarjes. Me fjalë të tjera: shteti i ka dorëzuar Meqemejës një pjesë të territorit energjetik të vendit në mënyrë të pakthyeshme për dekada.
Koncesioni i dytë: HEC-et e Librazhdit – “HEC-i Dragostunjë”
Pak ditë pas marrëveshjes së parë, Meqemeja përfitoi një tjetër super-kontratë për ndërtimin dhe operimin e 7 hidrocentraleve në rrethin e Librazhdit: Dragostunjë, Guri i Zi, Studençan, Bushtricë, Rinas, Koshorisht dhe Klenjë. Këtë herë përmes kompanisë “HEC-i Dragostunjë” sh.p.k., e cila është nën kontrollin e drejtpërdrejtë të “Energy Development Group” (EDG), një tjetër kompani e Meqemejës.
Investimi i deklaruar ishte mbi 424 milionë lekë, por sërish ka prova që pjesa më e madhe e këtyre fondeve është mbuluar përmes kredi të buta, garanci shtetërore dhe kontrata ndihmëse me OSHEE dhe KESH.
Nga shitja e energjisë te manipulimi i TVSH-së
HEC-et e Meqemejës prodhojnë miliona kilovat energji në vit dhe janë të lidhura në rrjetin e shpërndarjes publike. Ai përfiton jo vetëm nga shitja direkte e energjisë, por edhe nga kompensimi i mungesës së prodhimit për shkak të kushteve klimatike (e ashtuquajtura „balancim i energjisë“), duke marrë pagesa nga OST dhe KESH për energji që nuk e prodhon fare.
Sipas të dhënave të padeklaruara publikisht, disa prej kompanive të tij kanë përfituar miliona euro nëpërmjet:
rritjes artificiale të shpenzimeve operative për të ulur bazën tatimore;
