The economic sanctions that the US Treasury Department imposed today on former MP Aqif Rakipi, on the grounds that he was part of criminal groups that bought votes for the elections in the country, are among other sanctions against election theft, according to MP Jorida Tabaku.
In a statement to the media, after the news that the US Treasury Department has imposed economic sanctions on former MP Aqif Rakipi and media owner Ylli Ndroqi, the Democratic MP said that “the good news is that election theft was sanctioned.”
“Part of it is dedicated to the theft of elections in Tirana and Elbasan, which means that there was an election massacre“, Said Tabaku.
Numerous organized crime groups (GCOs) in Albania have offered money, gifts, or job vacancies or concessions in exchange for votes for their favorite political party. Rakipi has long been involved in organized crime and is closely linked to an Organized Crime Group, within which he has exercised political influence, including through corruption, according to the US Treasury Department.
Following the April 25 parliamentary elections, which gave Edi Rama a third term in office, the opposition has accused him of continuing to steal votes, in what he calls an “election massacre.”
