Ardi Kollçaku at the center of the SPAK file; concrete empire under investigation for money laundering
The former president of Skënderbeu’s team Ardi Kollçaku, the owner of “Anchor Investments”, is one of the names that SPAK and BKH targeted on June 16, as part of the operation against cocaine trafficking and money laundering. Kollçak is not among those arrested, but the control in 23 premises places him and his concrete empire at the center of the file where it is suspected that black drug money has entered through investments in real estate.
“Anchor Investments” is not just a construction company. Kolcak owns 45% of it, but the structure it has built is what stands out. The chain of companies he controls includes Anchor Beton, Seaside Residence I, Alias Power, Tirana West Center, Sun Palasë and Tirana Tower. A facility that produces the concrete, builds the towers and sells the units, without ever going out of business. This is exactly the pattern that SPAK investigators know well.
Tirana Tower, with NIPT M41724028H, is 100% owned by Anchor Investments. The tower is the full property of the Kollcak society. But what makes this structure dangerous for Kollcak is the fact that any verification on the origin of Anchor’s capital directly affects this project as well.
SPAK’s investigation has revealed three traces that connect Kollcak with money laundering.
The first is the origin of Anchor’s initial capital and Kollcak’s 45% contribution. The question is simple: where did the capital come from that built this concrete empire?
The second is the sale of tower units. The prosecution suspects that the transactions were made in cash outside the banking system, at prices below the real market value and with buyers connected to persons under investigation.
The third is the supply of concrete through Anchor Beton within the group, a cash flow that is kept closed from the outside.
According to the Historical Extract of the Beneficial Owner Register, Ardi Kollçaku was registered as the beneficial owner for 45% of the tower on June 3, 2024.
Like his friend Agim Zeqo, Ardi Kollçaku is not a defendant today. But BKH’s control, its vertical chain of companies and its towering sales model put it at the center of a dossier demanding accountability. The question that arises is how high this file will go and what it will reveal about the concrete empire that Kollçak has built. /pamphlet
