The Democratic Party declared today that the Tirana Prosecutor's Office conducted a wide-ranging inspection a few days ago at the premises of Nadir Çausholli's 'CFO Pharma' company, seizing inventories and reimbursement documentation, as part of investigations into abuses in the drug reimbursement system.
Genta Vangjeli, spokesperson for Anti-Corruption in the Democratic Party, recalls that, on April 29, 2025, there was a final decision for Nadir Çausholli for the criminal offense of "market manipulation", following violations where medications were sold up to 180 times more expensive than their real price, harming citizens and the state budget.
The DP emphasizes that the history of Çausholli's involvement in illegal schemes dates back to 2016, when the Tirana Prosecution Office found an economic damage of 2.2 million euros from fake prescriptions and abuse of reimbursable drugs, for which he was arrested. However, after 2017, his businesses continued to flourish, including the 'Unazë' bus line and five other businesses, some of which with public figures as co-owners.
Even after being excluded from public tenders for 6 months by the Public Procurement Agency in July 2024, Çausholli opened a new business in tourism. Thus, the company 'ROCK OF KAVAJA' sh.pk was registered, which just two months later received permission to build a 10–11-story hotel with 3 underground floors in the Kavajës Rock area, with a declared capital of 2.2 million euros. Nadir Çausholli owns 60% of the shares, while the rest belongs to partner Elvis Doçi, for whom the quota salary was only 600 euros.
It remains to be seen whether justice will act by seizing Nadir Çausholli's assets and businesses, or whether these will remain only measures 'on paper'.
According to the DP, as long as Edi Rama is at the head of the government, it seems that for people connected to power, their activities do not stop despite scandals and convictions.
The full statement of the Gospel:
Following investigations into abuses in the drug reimbursement system, the Tirana Prosecutor's Office conducted an extensive search of the premises of the company 'CFO Pharma' a few days ago, seizing inventories and reimbursement documentation.
We recall that on April 29, 2025, there was a final court decision for Nadir Çausholli for the criminal offense of 'market manipulation'.
According to reports, he sold medications up to 180 times more expensive than their real price, severely harming citizens and the state budget.
The history of his involvement in illegal schemes is not new.
As early as 2016, the Tirana Prosecution Office found an economic damage of 2.2 million euros to the state from false prescriptions and abuse of reimbursable drugs, for which Çausholli was arrested.
However, after 2017, Çausholli's businesses continued to flourish. In addition to the 'Unazë' bus line in Tirana, he opened five other businesses, some of which he co-owned with public figures.
After benefiting from millions of euros from public tenders, and although the Public Procurement Agency (APP) in July 2024 excluded the company CFO Pharma from participating in tenders for 6 months, Çausholli decided to 'celebrate' this measure by opening a new business in the field of tourism.
And it didn't turn out badly...
Thus, in July 2024, the company 'ROCK OF KAVAJA' sh.pk was registered, which just two months later received permission from Edi Rama himself to build a 10–11-story hotel with 3 underground floors in the Kavaja Rock area, with a declared capital of 2.2 million euros.
Nadir Çausholli owns 60% of the shares, while the rest belongs to his partner Elvis Doçi (Visi i Pojës).
For the purchase of these shares, Çausholli paid his partner only 600 euros.
In this situation, it remains to be seen whether justice will actually act by seizing Nadir Çausholli's assets and businesses, or whether these will remain only measures 'on paper'.
As long as Edi Rama continues to be at the head of the government, it seems that for people connected to power, the 'show must go on', despite scandals, convictions or abuses of citizens' money.
