The former president is accused of exerting illegal influence to favor private companies, including a cellular company, for financial gain.
3. Unreported Payments:
Meta and his wife, Monika Kryemadhi, reportedly received large sums of money and credit cards that were not declared to the authorities.
4. Misuse of Public Institutions:
The investigation suggests that Meta used Pirro Xhixha, then head of AKEP (Electronic and Postal Communications Authority), to further his interests.
5. Undeclared Lobbying and Real Estate:
Payments amounting to $463,000 for lobbying purposes remain undeclared. Meta also allegedly bought an apartment, claiming it was financed through a loan, but most payments were made in cash.
