A request for access to the public documents,
submitted by the Organization ÇOHU! and Kosovo Center for Investigative
Journalism, Ministry of Economic Developments has answered only
partially and has offered only the document of the prequalification
guidelines. According to the MED: “The privatization project of PTK, is
still under the procedure and the contracting authority has legal
impediments that prevent it to disclose the required documents”.
Ministry of Economic Developments has considered that until the
completion of the transaction, it is obliged to respect ‘confidentiality
impediments’, but at the same time, it is committed to provide access
to the contracts and other documents only after the signing of the
contract.
But, besides the fact that public opinion does not
still know who exactly is ‘Axos”, and the origin of the capital, the
privatization process has been accompanied also with immerse vagueness
on the legality of the decision to privatize PTK.
Yet, looking into the perspectives of the
privatizing process, since its inception, the bid to have a grip on the
most profitable public asset in Kosovo has been followed by the lack of
an opened and fair competitiveness. Moreover, it seems that the
privatizing process of PTK, has been also accompanied by the breach of
the law and the requirements of prequalification criteria.
Who is “Axos”?!
Data revealed by Preportr show that people in
charge, actually founders and current leaders of “Axos”, are in fact
former higher employees of the world telecommunication giant, Deutsche
Telekom - DT. This research alike brings to light other circumstances
where members of “Axos” have lobbied on behalf of DT, to buy other
telecommunication companies in the region.
Main people, in fact founder and leaders of “Axos”, are former
employees of higher positions in the telecommunication giant, Deutsche
Telekom
Jan Georg Budden, one of the founders and the
current executive director of “Axos”, used to be a deputy president in
DT, where as Stephan Schroeder, also one of the founders and the current
managing partner in ‘Axos”, was also deputy president in DT. The
Preportr research, revealed also that the legal representative of the
“Axos”, in the bidding process, comes out to be Georgi Dimitrov, a
Macedonian, which DT was one of its attorney firm’s client in other
cases.
The research has also revealed information on the
involvement of the “Axos” in the privatization of Bosnian Telecom and on
the Albtelekom in Albania. In the attempt to privatize Bosnian Telecom,
the man that lobbied in favor of DT, was Volket Rühe which in 2008 was
the president of the board of “Axos” and the former minister of defense
of Germany. Similarly, the name of the former minister of defense of
Germany, Volket Rühe turns out to have been involved as a member of the
board of ‘Axos”, in an attempt to privatize Albtelekom, a
telecommunication company in Albania that was sold to Calik Enerji from
Turkey.
A research by Gazeta JNK has revealed that “ACP Axos”, has presence
in Cayman Islands, one of the ‘off shores’ countries that belongs to
Britain.
Another research conducted by Gazeta JNK, has
revealed that “Axos” has presence in the one of the ‘safe havens’
territories. According to the claims of the executive director of
‘Axos”, Jan Budden, the investing fund “Axos” controls an entity called
“Axos Cayman” in the Cayman Islands, a British territory. According to
him, finances to “Axos” have been made by DCM, a capital investment
firm, and Columbia Capital, one of the companies competing to buy PTK,
bur which withdrew from the bid after the phase of prequalification.
The research on Gazeta JNK has provided the
information that the business register in the Cayman Islands does not
list any entity with the name “Axos Camyan”, as said by Jan Bubben, but
that it has a company with the name “Axos Limited”. When asked about the
company, Jan Budden refused to answer due to the sensibility of the
case.

Eine Tarn Firma, wo nun Geld von den Cayman Inseln kommen soll, um die wahren Erwerber zutarnen und zu verstecken. Später wird diese Welt Firma erst die Anteile offiziell aufkaufen, wenn Gras über die Sache gewachsen ist. Der Erwerb, entspricht nicht dem Rechts Standard der EU Länder!
