AKSHI Public Procurement Investigation

In late 2025, SPAK unveiled a high-profile investigation into systemic corruption within the National Agency for Information Society (AKSHI). Prosecutors allege that a sophisticated criminal network rigged at least twelve public procurement procedures. Central to the investigation are businessmen Ermal Beqiri and Ergys Agasi. SPAK issued arrest warrants for both, with charges including money laundering, illegal competition, unlawful deprivation of liberty, violation of procurement offer equality, and participation in a structured criminal group. The crackdown also reached the highest levels of AKSHI’s leadership. Director Mirlinda Karçanaj and Deputy Director Hava Delibashi were placed under house arrest, while several other officials were hit with travel bans or mandatory reporting requirements. Prosecutors state that intercepted communications, digital recordings, and financial trails provide compelling evidence that lucrative contracts were deliberately steered toward companies linked to Beqiri and his collaborators.
