The hidden assets of BIK leaders

Mufti Tërnava and Secretary Ahmeti did not hold the million-dollar property in their names

The plot consists of about 4 hectares of land, or about 40 thousand square meters. It is located in Lipjan, on the road towards the Municipality of Shtime.

According to the property history of the Cadastre Directorate in Lipjan, it turns out to have been purchased by Imer Sadriu.

The transfer to the municipality was made in 2006 based on the sale and purchase contract.

However, the real owner of the land is suspected to not have been himself.

Imer Sadriu is the brother of the current secretary of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, Ahmet Sadriu.

The four-hectare property purchased is suspected to have been purchased by his brother, the secretary of BIK, Ahmet Sadriu, together with the mufti of Kosovo, Naim Tërnava.

Upon receiving this information, the "Oath for Justice" journalist, posing as an investor, contacted the brother of the BIK secretary, Imer Sadriu, on September 30.

The same person has expressed interest in purchasing the 4-hectare plot.

 "Journalist: Earlier, brother Altin called you about the land in Shtime, but he had it for me. He told me that you also had it, or in the name of Tërnava, and my brother also wanted a lot of land."

Sadriu: Yes, yes, yes.

Journalist: Where do you have this land, because I have a business and I'm interested in building a factory. I'm going to look at this land, I'm sorry, but since you've made a change, I wanted to know if there's a possibility of collaborating again.

Sadriu: Listen, listen, with those we agreed on and this work is done, they have already opened it there, do you understand?

Journalist: Yes.

Sadriu: They have opened their own business, those who bought it 4 years ago, this is in Graz, they did it. I mean, we don't have access to anything there, they completely took it over and opened something. What factory do you want me to open?

Journalist: I want to open a clothing store to produce clothes, to export. With women.

Sadriu: "Oh, well."

The plot Imeri is talking about denies that it was his alone.

He says he had it registered in his name, only citing the fact that he lived in the village of Davidovc, near the village of Graca e Vjetër, where the now million-dollar plot was located.

“Journalist: And that land is yours or Trnava's or you already have it in our name?

Sadriu: No, listen, there were two people in my name, my brother and Ternava, together, we have, and I, there are three of us.

Journalist: Do you eat it yourself?

Sadriu: Yes, but in the name of the party, it was like I was in this part, they lived in Pristina, so it was necessary for someone to follow this part.”

So, Imer Sadriu, who was once a teacher and is now retired, admits that in fact he was the owner by letter, but his brother and the mufti of Tërnava were also shareholders.

The buyer confirms that he purchased the property from Mufti Tërnava and Secretary Ahmeti

To argue this, "Oath for Justice" has also tracked down the new buyer.

During the pandemic period, in 2020, a plot of about 4 hectares was purchased by Sadri Luma.

The "Oath for Justice" was presented on October 10th at his family's business, located not far from the plot in question.

In this meeting, the team spoke with his nephew, his brother's son.

He admitted that the plot was purchased by his uncle during the pandemic.

 “Luma: Are you interested in the land?

Journalist: Actually, I own this BIK secretary, Imer's brother, did you buy the secretary from Tërnava as well? What's his name?

Luma: Yes, that part is mine, but those are ours.

Journalist: 4 hectares, I think I got it myself. What is the name of the secretary of BIK, I'm forgetting?

Luma: Of Pristina

Journalist: Yes, from Pristina.

Luma: Let's not go to Davicovd and go out to Shtime.

Journalist: From here in Graça.

Luma: Ah, yes, you are smoking, smoking, smoking.

Journalist: That land belongs to the mufti and his family in Trnava.

Luma: Yes

Journalist: Just cry, the four hectares are coming to me. Because what did he talk about, that I'm not the only one in this firm, they let me come and find the contacts, see the land that they're sending me, and then someone else will come.

Luma: That land was sold, now they're just not selling it because a part of it was taken over by a concrete factory, they've taken over a part of it with trucks and stuff, parts of the trucks.

Journalist: Do you have any more?

Luma: Here we are. Now I have them a little closer.

Journalist: Have you sold all four hectares?

Luma: Four hectares of ours."

That the property was purchased by them was later confirmed by the buyer himself, Sadri Luma.

Based on the property's history, Luma appears to have held it for nearly 3 years.

Contacted by phone on October 11, he said that he sold the property purchased from the mufti of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, Naim Tërnava, the secretary of BIK, Ahmet Sadriu, and his brother Imer Sadriu without using it himself.

"Journalist: Hello."
Luma: Hello.
Journalist: Am I talking to Sadri Lume?
Luma: Yes, just order, just order.
Journalist: Maybe I shouldn't bother you, but I called you Sadri about a 4-hectare piece of land, or something, that you had bought from Naim Tërnavë and Ahmeti Sadri.
Luma: No, I don't know what they are talking about.
Journalist: Have you sold it?
Luma: Yes, yes.
Journalist: Has it been a while since you sold it, because they told me..
Luma: It's been a year since I sold it, a year.
Journalist: Since you're interested in buying a tile there first, I'm actually calling you on behalf of the company.
Luma: Once again, I'm not weak, I don't know what happened. Once again?
Luma: "Yes, I sold it, I sold it, I bought it from them, yes, I bought it during the pandemic, I bought it from them during the pandemic."

Property in Brezovica, land and apartment reportedly benefitted the mufti, his secretary and the latter's brother

But what did Naim Tërnava, Ahmet Sadriu and Imer Sadriu get in return?

Imer Sadriu said that the land was not sold to Luma only for cash, but in exchange for other indivisible assets. This is also evident from the contract deposited with the municipality, which is a compensation contract.

For the land with an area of ​​about 4 hectares, Imeri says that they acquired property in Brezovica, a house and land.

All of this, he says, is in his name, and not in the name of the BIK secretary, Ahmeti, or the mufti of Tërnava.

"Journalist: And where are the other lands you got in exchange for that one?"
Sadriu: Order, no, we don't have it there now, we exchanged it for apartments, a part in Brezovica, it has nothing to do with them at all. However, I have a good piece of land, but it's not definitive, it's land that the court returned to me.
Journalist: You told your brother that you took land from those people in Luma for these people, did you take any land?
Sadriu: No, no, no absolutely no, I didn't get land because I would have gotten land later, but I would have said come from here to there.
Journalist: Did you buy a villa and an apartment in Brezovica?
Sadriu: Yes, the apartment was bigger, and that's how it went.
Journalist: In our name, these too, or theirs?
Sadriu: No, not in our name, but there you never know what, it's a place where you can't do anything. And the ones I have are a bit controversial, it's a problem I've had with the courts, it's very good."

When asked about the value of the contract, the property buyer, Sadri Luma, also claimed that other properties were exchanged.

"Journalist: They haven't had a day yet, but you've been selling it. And I'm just asking how much gold is worth. How much gold did you buy from them?"
Luma: I bought it, I can't even complain because I got it with compensation, I gave him the villa there in Brezovica, I gave him land and other things, it's not fair, but if it's just me, I'll complain now."

The property in Brezovica and other properties were also confirmed by the meeting held with Sadri Luma's nephew on October 10.

He says he has no information on the value of the contract, as the land was purchased in exchange for other agreements.

"Journalist: How much did you apologize to him yourself?"

Luma: Is it the earth?

Journalist: Qata.

Luma: Well, brother, I know, except I'm lying to you, because there was a combination of land with a villa and a house, in short, no, we have a little bit of land on our side.

Journalist: Is it very close to the entrance?

Luma: Yes, yes.

Furthermore, he claims that his uncle did not pay everything in cash.

"The part that I lost was my uncle's, the part that my uncle sold was bought when we were separated, he took some land and gave it to a villa in Brezovica, in short, they had all sorts of combinations, it wasn't all bought with cash or anything. But the value has changed a lot."

How much is the property that was allegedly hidden by Mufti Tërnava and Secretary Ahmeti worth now?

The property in question, at the current market price, is worth millions.

"Oath for Justice" is interested in purchasing the Luma family's properties, near the 4-hectare plot, and the price offered by Sadri Luma was 4,500 euros per acre.

"Luma: I bought it, I can't even complain because I got it with compensation, I gave him the villa there in Brezovica, I gave him land and other things, it's not fair, but if it's just me, I'll complain now."
Journalist: Yes, how much is it now?
Luma: Now there are 4,500 people living on that land.
Journalist: And you had a plate there before.
Luma: We have, we have, we have.

His nephew also confirms the same price, on the property he said he holds in his own name.

"Luma: .. This plot is also for sale, if it is not divided, the last one left 4 thousand 500, this plot is 5 hectares and 3 acres.
Journalist: When did they sell it?
Luma: Is it 3 years old or 4, it should be 4 years old.
Journalist: You saw the item immediately after you bought it, right?
Luma: That's right.
Journalist: That he told me 4, 5 years ago.
Luma: "Just like it was sold 3-4 months ago, the transfer of the property was already done and the deal was done."

Mufti Tërnava refuses to respond, while Secretary Ahmeti calls it disinformation

Workers of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, based on current legislation, are not obliged to declare their assets, unlike public officials, who make this declaration every year.

This situation raises even more doubts about what could have been the reason for the concealment of ownership by the mufti of Kosovo, Naim Tërnava, and the current secretary of BIK, Ahmet Sadriu.

Moreover, given that the same people have been employees of the Islamic Community of Kosovo for years, their behavior raises doubts about the origin of the money.

For this, "Oath for Justice" has attempted to get a response from the Mufti of Tërnava.

"Journalist: Good morning, how are you? I'm Alberta from "Oath for Justice."

Mufti Tërnava: Just a little please!

Journalist: I just wanted to ask you about a four-hectare property in Lipjan. I believe it is also in your interest to answer!

On the other hand, the secretary of BIK, Imer Sadriu's brother, Ahmet Sadriu, contacted by phone, denied the information to the "Oath for Justice", calling it disinformation.

After that, he immediately hung up the phone, without giving room for further clarification.

This is despite the fact that there was a strong suspicion that he may have committed a criminal offense.

"Secretary Sadriu: Hello.

Journalist: Hello, am I speaking to the secretary of the Islamic Community of Kosovo, Ahmet Sadriu?

Secretary Sadriu: Yes!

Journalist: Dear Sir, I am Alberta Hashani, a journalist from the show "Oath for Justice". How are you?

Secretary Sadriu: Okay, thank you.

Journalist: I hope I'm not bothering you, I just called to ask you about the 4-hectare plot you had in Lipjan in the direction of Shtime. We received information that the plot was in the name of your brother Imer, but in reality the owners were you and Mufti Ternava.

Secretary Sadriu: This is disinformation, we are in a meeting, we prayed.

Journalist: "Yes.."

Imer Sadriu denies that he stated that the land also belonged to the mufti and his brother, who is a secretary at BIK.

After the conversation with Secretary Ahmeti, "Oath for Justice" has now officially contacted his brother, Imer, shortly after.

Although he himself claimed to have owned the land together with his brother Ahmeti and the mufti of Tërnava, Imeri now denies everything.

"Sadriu: Hello.

Journalist: Hello, Mr. Imer.

Sadriu: Yes.

Journalist: Jom Alberta Hashani, journalist from the show "Oath for Justice". How are you?

Sadriu: Yes, yes, yes.

Journalist: I am contacting you regarding the 4-hectare property you have in Lipjan, towards Shtima.

Sadriu: Yes, yes.

Journalist: We researched it for quite a long time and it turned out that you were not the real owner. Is that true?

Sadriu: It's always been me, and we asked you this question, what are you living on, what are you living on, what are you feeding on? Do you have children, do you have children?

Journalist: How did you manage to buy 4 hectares of land for Mr. Imer with a teacher's salary?

Sadriu: I have 12 hectares of land that my father left me, and I sold 2 hectares to buy houses, please help me with this matter."

Despite the claims he had made earlier, Imeri now says he never stated that he was not the sole owner.

Journalist: So why did you state then in our previous statements that the property belonged to your brother, the secretary of BIK and the mufti of Tërnava?

Sadriu: I never declared, never, never declared, where are you from that I declared, to whom did I declare?

Journalist: We talked together earlier and you said that the property was theirs.

Sadriu: To whom did I declare, where are you, who declared?

Journalist: We have audio recordings of the conversations we had.

Sadriu: Absolutely nothing, no recording, that's all the commercial recording where you put the commercials. Don't take the bait.

Journalist: And the properties, the villas in Brezovica, the land and other apartments.

Sadriu: Which apartments, which apartments, which apartments?

Journalist: Mr. Imer, based on the discussions we had earlier, you said that when you sold the land, you received a villa in Brezovica in exchange.

Sadriu: "Don't make me tired, God, come on (unintelligible)."

For the sake of fairness, the "Oath for Justice" recalls Sadriu's statements regarding the true owners of that former land, and now the property in Brezovica, the apartments and land that were taken in exchange.

Journalist: And that land is yours or Trnava's or you already have it in our name?

Sadriu: No, listen, there were two people in my name, my brother and Ternava, together, we have, and I, there are three of us.

Journalist: Do you eat it yourself?

Sadriu: Yes, but in the name of Temin, it was more like me than this part, they lived in Pristina, so it was necessary for someone to have this part."

"Journalist: And where are the other lands you got in exchange for that one?"
Sadriu: Order, no, we don't have it there now, we exchanged it for apartments, a part in Brezovica, it has nothing to do with them at all. However, I have a good piece of land, but it's not definitive, it's land that the court returned to me.."

"Oath for Justice" has again contacted the buyer, Sadri Luma, and his nephew Fexhri Luma.

Sadri Luma now says he did not make the deal with the mufti of Tërnava or the BIK sect leader.

Meanwhile, in exchange for the land, he says he gave land in Brezovica, land in Emshir, and a premises to the court.

"Luma: I haven't seen them from Naimi, nor have I ever seen them, I'm not with them, because I don't even talk to them, nor do I know where I can find them. I bought them from someone in Davidovc.

Journalist: Imerit?

Luma: It's Davidovc's.

Journalist: Imer Sadri?

Luma: Wow, I forgot about this job a long time ago.

Journalist: And when you had discussions about buying property, with whom did you discuss the bargain?

Luma: I discussed it with those from Davodovac.

Journalist: What else do you have on hand?

Luma: And now I gave an Emshir a 7 ares of land, and I forgot a place for the court office if I'm not mistaken, and so on, any combination. And any land.

Journalist: Where is the land?

Luma: Brezovica.

"Luma: Mixha is the person who bought it and sold it, I have nothing to do with it."

The origin of the money for the purchase of this plot is unknown.

It is not even known whether this is directly related to their duties for years in the Islamic Community of Kosovo.

The lack of transparency and silence on the part of the organization contributes to the suspicions raised.
