Reported full owner of ZSAD through Smart Construction Invest (BIRN) - conflicts with Al-Khayyat ownership claim
Evidence: Reporter.al (2026-05-29): ZSAD is 'a company wholly owned by Redi Struga through Smart Construction Invest'. Citizens.al (2026-06-08) and Exit.al attribute control to Al-Khayyat-linked companies. Existing entries conn-zsad-struga-ownership and conn-struga-smart-construction in.
HYPOTHESIS: Redi Struga is a nominee holding ZSAD for the Al-Khayyat group
Evidence: SUPPORTS: BIRN calls Struga 'a key intermediary for Qatari billionaire brothers' (Reporter.al 2026-05-29); Citizens.al says Al-Khayyat appear in direct control of assets; ALD and ZSAD ownership accounts conflict (Struga vs Al-Khayyat). WOULD DISPROVE: a registry extract or sale contract showing Struga's ownership of Smart Construction Invest with no Al-Khayyat payment or instruction; Struga's own on-record statement; a clear Al-Khayyat owner in the ZSAD chain that excludes Struga. Confidence UNVERIFIED.

Reporter.al (BIRN): ZSAD established August 2024 (per article), owned through a chain of shells managed by Dutch Trust Management B.V.; the article says ZSAD is wholly owned by Redi Struga through Smart Construction Invest; Blue Industries Investment Holding B.V. owned by five anonymous Albanians, none above 25%; Struga described as intermediary for the Al-Khayyat brothers. Redi Struga did not respond. This conflicts with the Al-Khayyat ownership in Citizens.al (2026-06-08).
