The information portal "Klan Kosova" has published today (April 20) an article entitled "Konjufca has almost 100 thousand times more money in the bank than Kurti and Osmani".
Although this article does not provide information about Prime Minister Albin Kurti and President Vjosa Osmani, the content of this article does mention Konjufca's cash in the bank when it is stated that ", of the heads of state, Konjufca appears to have the most money in the bank, a full 101 thousand 815 euros. "
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it was found that the headline incorrectly reported Konjufca's cash in the bank compared to Kurti and Osmani.
The portal in question, after a few hours, improved the title by changing it to: "Konjufca for almost 100 times more money saved than Kurti and Osmani".
Link to the article published by "Klan Kosova":
The same article, referring to the portal "klankosova.tv", was also published by "Ekonomia Online", "Bota Sot", "Gazeta Blic", "Gazeta Scanner", and "Kosovarja" (see here, here, here, here and here).
Hibrid.info has researched and found data on the asset declarations of heads of state to the Anti-Corruption Agency, which shows that Prime Minister Albin Kurti has 1551 euros deposited in the bank (here), President Vjosa Osmani has a little more than 1 thousand euros (here) while the Speaker of Parliament Glauk Konjufca, as reported in the article discussed, has deposited more than 101 thousand euros in the bank (here).
Based on this information, it is confirmed that the value of the money declared as cash in the bank by Konjufca is around 100 thousand euros, not 100 thousand times greater than that declared by the prime minister and president.
Analyze:
The claim that the Speaker of the Parliament, Glauk Konjufca, has 100 times more money deposited in the bank, compared to Prime Minister Albin Kurti and President Vjosa Osmani, is false.
Data published by the Anti-Corruption Agency shows that Konjufca has around 100 thousand euros in cash in banks, compared to other heads of state.
