Agim Çiraku - The daily newspaper Telegraf was founded as part of the construction company Hekla LLC on 28 November 2005. In the newspaper its publisher is first named as Agim Çiraku. However, according to the data of the Albanian National Business Register, Ciraku gave away the company in 2003 to Luan Veshaj. In 2013 Veshaj transferred 100% of the shares of the company to Klaus Ciraku, the son of Agim Ciraku and has owned the company since then. However, the documents uploaded in the National Business Center aren’t always crystal clear on the ownership of the company.
In its online version the newspaper declares Agim Ciraku as the founder while in its front-page in print declares as founder his son, Klaus Ciraku. The newspaper is not registered as a separate entity from the construction company. Agim Ciraku does not own other businesses.
