Fiks Fare denounced a sexual harassment that happened inside a state institution. Even a state institution has done this fact.
However, the superior who sexually harassed the subordinate was not only not fired or punished, but was first appointed director and then head of security. The newsroom of the investigative show Fiks Fare received information (at that time) about the director of the Port of Shengjin, Agustin Gjini.
Initially, after he was arrested in March 2021 by the Lezha Police for the alienation of a piece of land in Lezha. Mr. Gjini was arrested after it was suspected that during the exercise of his duties as the head of the Archive and Protocol Sector in the former Shengjin municipality, he falsified documents, alienating a piece of land on the coast of Shengjin, from the type of sand to field property.
Arrest and appointment of director
Meanwhile, Mr. Gjini at that time, after being released by the court and being investigated in a free state, was appointed Head of Security at the Port of Shengjin in Lezhë. He was the key person for all movements in this port. But even in this position, he had problems. The newsroom of “Fiks Fare” received information that Mr. Gjini has been accused in the Prosecutor’s Office of Lezha for sexual harassment by a security employee of the Port of Shengjin.
But what happened?! According to the documents available to the investigative show, Mr. Gjini has been appointed. Despite being accused of sexual harassment and alienation of property, the Ministry of Finance and Economy has appointed Mr. Agustin Gjini as director of the Port of Shengjin. In May 2022, the order of appointment to this post was uploaded to the KKB, signed by the Minister of Finance and Economy Delina Ibrahimaj. So, with two serious charges, which are still under investigation, he was appointed director of a port. A key post, as it concerns security!
Sexual harassment in government offices
Fiks Fare contacted the former employee E.Sh, who admitted to sexual harassment by Agusin Gjini. According to her, the case is still under investigation, while for this case there was also a decision by the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination. The editors of the investigative show have secured the commissioner’s decision, where in the end all sexual harassment was proven. Here is what is written in this decision: “The complainant claims that she informed her direct superior, Mr. A.Gj., who not only did not give her a solution, but on the contrary reflected harassing behavior of a sexual nature towards her, which consisted of conversations on the WhatsApp application, as well as direct conversations with her. The complainant claims that Mr. A. Gj. insulted her and even tried to hit her in the presence of other employees. Ms. E. Sh. claims that, in the conditions where Mr. A.Gj., it happened before her refusal, refused to give her the additional payment for the hours of the third shift”.
At the Commissioner’s premises, a session was held between the parties, where Agustin Gjini, asked about the tabulations of messages in the WhatsApp application, filed as evidence by the complainant, Mr. Agustin Gjini initially stated that they could be, but later he changed his mind stating that they were not his and that he would answer for those tabulations only before the prosecution, as the case was under investigation by this institution.
“The commissioner relied on the conversations disclosed in the Expertise Act of the Tirana Legal Computer Expertise Center, during the time period 28.04.2020, 18:56 until 16.09.2020, 14:56. These conversations between Mrs. E. Sh. With Mr. A. Gj were exchanged on the WhatsApp application, as well as in 43 messages. By analyzing their conversations, the Commissioner found a not at all normal relationship between the superior and his subordinate. A, Gj., from time to time used provocative words and expressions of a sexual nature, often offensive to Mrs. E. Sh., as well as often receive “invitations” that are not at all normal. The commissioner judges that this behavior and this communication is not at all normal, between superior and subordinate”
In the end, the Commissioner decided on the finding of discrimination due to gender, in the form of sexual harassment, of Mrs. E. Sh., from Mr. A.Gj., acting Chief of Security of the Shengjin Sea Port sh.a.
Commissioner: Sexual favors, obvious
But how did this investigation start?! Fiks Fare journalists spoke with Mr. Robert Gajda, Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination. He said that the sexual harassment between the former employee and Mr. Agustin Gjini has been proven. According to him, everything has been proven. “We had a problem that we could not confirm whether it was Mr. Gjini’s number or not. We suspended the review and then waited for the performance of the expert report by the Lezha prosecutor’s office. This charge confirmed that they were the complainant’s and the boss’s no. Everything has been tried. At that time, the director of security at the Port of Shengjin asked for sexual favors in exchange for facilities for this employee. And, when the employee does not respond, he takes action against her. All of them have been proven,” says the commissioner.
According to him, this decision is the first of its kind in Albania and was given at the end of 2021. Journalists ask him that, after 4 months after this decision was made, at the beginning of May 2022, the former head of Port Security has been appointed director of the Port of Shengjin, he tells us that “it is very wrong”. “His superiors should have seen this director’s past!” says the Commissioner.
Gjini admits the problems with the employee
But, does Mr. Gjini continue to work at the Port of Shengjin and did he have problems with this former employee?! Fiks Fare reporters went to this port to ask other employees. Everyone admits that there were problems between the former employee and the Chief of Security. But the current chief of security at this port is very worried when we mention the name of the former employee. He even tells the reporter of Fiks Fare that he will accompany her to the police. He even threatens to take measures. The journalist complains to the directorate. After a few minutes, the director Agustin Gjini himself meets her, who admits the problems with the former employee. He says that “the current chief of security is a fool”, while affirming that he will take measures for this behavior.
Fiks Fare asked at the Port of Shengjin, at the Prosecutor’s Office of Lezha or even at the Ministry of Finance and Economy about Mr. Agustin Gjini. Even for promotion or retention. After the interest, the Ministry of Finance dismissed Mr. Gjini from the position of Director of the Port of Shengjin, but appointed him Head of Security at the Port of Shengjin. In the same place “crime”. Even, in a post that has to do with security, since this port also has a border crossing point.
