You received a threatening message for your family, why did you get it?
Gentjan Progni
This threat was the 4-th threat incident because previously i had 3 life threatens with sms and phone calls and a gps tracking device in my wife-s car . This one was for my son and the message was : keep running your mouth and you will find your son’s corpse. I get this because i speak with names for the corruption in tech space in Albania, and how the institution that is to protect our data is using them on behalf of the PS party that runs the government.

You speak about corruption cases, could you tell us one or two examples?
Gentjan Progni
Crypto-mining in AKSHI datacenter is a big corruption case. Money of our taxes that AKSHI have used for e-albania they are all stolen. I have investigated all the tenders and 10% of them are right, 90% are scam and corruption. I have documents that AKSHI used e-albania to make fake documents, i have documents that companies near AKSHI have made money laundering, i have fake invoices in 100 mil euros, i have documents how PS party have used e-albania to make the “patronazhist” database to manipulate election and a lot more evidences about this criminal organization.

What is your opinion about democracy in Albania?
Gentjan Progni
When i see the word “democracy” is a moment of laugh and cry. Because i don’t see it in real terms. How can i speak for democracy when you give facts with documents based from institution papers that AKSHI is stealing our money and the prosecutors tells you that is better be careful. What democracy when you see TV channels that i work for them not making a news about these threats. What democracy when you see corrupted businessman’s that tells you is better if you take some money and not the prosecutor. Here no one is afraid of jail because with money they can buy the judge!

What is your opinion about free media in Albania?
