The hearing for the former Minister of Health, Ilir Beqaj, is postponed. ABC News has learned that the hearing will be held on July 26. Beqaj asked to get to know 20 other investigation files of the sterilization file.
Former minister Beqaj is being investigated for abuse of office. Two security measures have been assigned to him, mandatory appearance and prohibition to leave the country. The security measures were approved by GJKKO on November 16.
The 3-year investigations carried out by the Special Prosecutor’s Office have revealed violations of the law in the procedures for awarding one of the most expensive concessions in the health sector, with the sole purpose of declaring the companies of Ilir Rrapaj and the Italian citizen, Umbro Staccini, the winners. Ilir Beqaj was elected Minister of Health in the first cabinet of Prime Minister Edi Rama and during his leadership in the years 2013-2017, three concession contracts of tens of millions of euros for health system services were signed. /abcnews.al
