Agim Ciraku is the founder and publisher of the daily newspaper Telegraf, although officially the company is registered under his son’s name. Klaus Ciraku, the son of Agim Ciraku is listed as the sole owner of the company Hekla LLC, which publishes the daily newspaper Telegraf. Klaus Ciraku also owns 80% of the trade company Daroli LLC.
