We remind you that GJKKO has sentenced the driver Bledar Lilo to 10 years in prison and his brother-in-law Artur Balla to 11 years in prison, who are accused of "money laundering".
They are accused of transferring 18.3 million euros to a second-level bank in cooperation with the businessman Taçi, money suspected of belonging to the mafia organization Cosa Nostra.
On January 12, SPAK closed the investigations for businessman Rezart Taçi, his brother-in-law and several Italian citizens.
The process against the businessman was suspended for a year because he was not found to be arrested in implementation of a security measure "arrest in prison" given to him in absentia.
Businessman Taçi and his brother-in-law, Artur Balla, in cooperation with citizens Bledar Lilo, Francesco Zummo, Fabio Petruzzella and Daniele Cestagalli, are accused of money laundering.
They are accused of transferring 18.4 million euros to a second-level bank in collaboration with Taçi, money suspected of belonging to the mafia organization "Cosa Nostra".
The file against Rezart Taçi has been separated because he is wanted.
Taçi and his two associates are charged with the criminal offenses of "Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity", "Structured criminal group", "Perpetration of offenses by a structured criminal group". Meanwhile, the businessman, Rezart Taçi, has been announced as an international wanted man. The latter is accused of having, in cooperation with the Italians Francesco Zummo, Fabio Petruzzella, Daniele Cestagalli, organized a money laundering scheme in several countries of the world, including Albania.
18.4 million euros of the Italian mafia 'Cosa Nostra' were blocked in a bank in Albania in November 2021. According to SPAK, Taçi would clean the money by moving it to several banks in several countries and would receive the percentage. From SPAK investigations, Artur Balla and Beldar Lilo have had an active role in helping Italians Francesco Zummo and economist Fabio Petruzzella, both arrested in Italy, to open bank accounts and make money transfers for their laundering.
Balla and Lilo helped the Italians with their movements in Albania and made money transfers according to the orders given by Rezart Taçi, who is wanted by the police. 18.4 million euros had been deposited since July in a bank account opened at 'Alpha bank' in Tirana and then should have been transferred to Hong-Kong and Singapore through a company owned by Rezart Taç, but SPAK blocked the operation.
The account was in the name of Francesco Zummo with the amount of 18,399,996 euros. While Taçi would earn 3 million euros from this operation, or 16% of the amount. The sum came from a bank in the Swiss Canton of Ticino and was part of Francesco Zummo's 150 million euro fortune confiscated by Italian courts as Cosa Nostra income.
