Rama denied knowing Luftar Hysa on RAI3, he attacked Albanian journalists I don't live to expose

In an interview published yesterday for Italian journalist Giorgio Mottola, Prime Minister Edi Rama has denied knowing Luftar Hysa, the Albanian businessman linked to the Sinaloa cartel.

For RAI3, Rama said that he did not know Hysa and that he knew nothing about the concession that he had been given to "Valona Construction", a shell company of Hysa.

"I don't even know who he is, okay? I don't even know who he is. I have met people, I repeat, many people, Albanians who come and go, who want to meet, see, with friends and others. They are told, "okay, come on, what are you going to do, how are you going to do it", etc. However, the fact that a person in the government or a person who comes from abroad turns out to be rotten tomorrow does not make me responsible for I met him or I met someone else. So this is how you become a journalist who does dirty, who does dirty ," said Rama. 

However, it is not the first time that the prime minister has been asked about his connections with the businessman Hysa. 

Rama was asked two years ago during an online conversation with journalists about a meeting he had with three people who, according to Mexican media, had the Sinaloa drug cartel.

This matter seems not to have pleased the prime minister, who has "opened his mouth" rejecting all claims.

"I have left God, I don't live to eat and excrete" - Rama addressed the media.

At that time, the news of a Mexican newspaper circulated in the Albanian media about four Albanian brothers connected to the Sinaloa cartel who are laundering money in Albania.

One of the crooked names was Luftar Hysa, who according to some media 4 years ago was photographed in the Prime Minister.

He has denied all the claims raised by the Mexican media. Prime Minister Edi Rama was on the same line.

" First, I don't believe that there is any difference between the Mexican media and yours, that they can tell the truth and many lies.

I consider it disgusting that with a piece of paper that comes out somewhere, an article that comes out somewhere, a whole family is taken and crossed without even asking, who you are, where you are and what you do.

And then the most wanted man in the world connects and connects to a hotel with less than 100 rooms in Vlora. I don't know how these are done without any research and verification.

Grab names, hit the wall. May God take care of you who deal with this sport. I don't know any cartel, I'm not connected to any illegal activity.

I don't live to eat more and take out more, but for several other reasons.

I have left you God to those who build such fables, not only for me, but for all those who are involved in these attacks and strikes that destroy people's lives.

An article came out there and the whole network of national channels here is filled with a scum that I don't know how to stop it, " he said.
