Lorin Xhelilaj was arrested a few days ago after defrauding a citizen by extorting 215 thousand euros.
Denis Buzali was the person who denounced him after he claimed that the banker had cheated him, first taking 15,000 euros for a Bulgarian passport, and then 200,000 euros to make him a shareholder in a company in Turkey.
The arrested himself admitted that he laundered money from the illegal activity of Call Centers, and that the informant had been asked to launder 1 million euros.
Buzali had stated that he had been convinced after Xhelilaj had shown him photographs of ministers and politicians, convincing him that he had acquaintances with important people in strategic investments and that he was involved in arms trade.
But the accused did not accept the version of the informant.
"I was going to clean his money, he asked me to legalize 1 million euros.
In one of the call centers he ran, Denis offered me to run it. But I did not accept because I studied in Italy and work for a Turkish company", said Xhelilaj.
The prosecutor said that investigations have also started for money laundering.
The two young men, according to the confessions of each, met in Turkey in the summer of 2020. They met again in Dubai on vacation and according to the arrested as a fraud, Denis had told him that he worked as an IT and that he needed call center money.
So the prosecution has WhatsApp messages between the two and 108,000 euros seized in Xhelilaj's apartment
