Ergys Agasi is the businessman from Durrës, whose name was placed at the center of one of SPAK's largest files for public tenders, that of the National Agency for the Information Society, AKSHI.
Agasi is known as an entrepreneur with activities in several fields, including logistics, construction, trade and service-related sectors. He is the son of Bardhyl Agasi, a former Socialist Party MP, and in public debate his name has often been mentioned as an influential figure in Durrës and with strong political connections.
SPAK issued an arrest warrant for him on December 16, 2025, as part of the investigation into the AKSHI tender file. Since that date, Agasi has been wanted. If the reported arrest on August 26, 2026 is officially confirmed, he has been wanted for about 8 months and 10 days.
According to reports published in December, SPAK accuses Agas of involvement in an alleged criminal scheme related to the manipulation of AKSHI tenders. Together with businessman Ermal Beqiri, he is suspected of having a key role in a structured criminal group that influenced public procurement procedures, favoring companies affiliated with them.
The charges reported against him include “illegal competition through violence,” “violation of equality of participants in public tenders or auctions,” and “illegal deprivation of liberty,” according to reports of his lawyer’s statements and the SPAK file.
One of the most serious episodes in the case concerns the alleged kidnapping and intimidation of businessman Gerond Meçe, who had filed complaints about tender procedures. According to reports, Meçe was allegedly taken hostage and forced to withdraw his complaints, in order to control the competition for AKSHI tenders.
In April 2026, SPAK seized assets worth over 40 million euros as part of this investigation, which included assets linked to the former director of AKSHI, Mirlinda Karçanaj, Ergys Agasin, Ermal Beqiri, and other individuals suspected of being part of the network.
The AKSHI file is considered one of SPAK's most sensitive investigations, not only because of the large amounts of tenders, but also because it affects a key institution of the Albanian state, which administers digital systems, online services, and sensitive citizen data.
Until an official announcement from the police or SPAK, Agas's arrest should be treated as media reporting. But if confirmed, it will mark the end of an eight-month-long escape for one of the main names in the AKSHI file.
