SPAK demands 13 years in prison for businessman Rezart Taçi.
The Special Prosecution Office Against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) has requested 13 years in prison for businessman Rezart Taçi, accused of attempting to launder 18.3 million euros that allegedly belong to the Italian mafia "Cosa Nostra".
The request was filed by prosecutor Klodian Braho, who also requested the confiscation and transfer to the state of the amount of 18 million euros, which according to the prosecution is related to criminal activity.
Taçi is wanted and is being tried in absentia, after a security measure of "prison arrest" was imposed on him, also issued in absentia. The process against him was suspended for about a year due to the businessman not being found for the execution of the measure.
SPAK accuses Taci of the criminal offenses of "money laundering" and "structured criminal group", within the framework of a suspected scheme for the transfer and legalization of funds that allegedly originate from illegal activities of the Italian mafia organization.
On the other hand, Taci's legal defense, through lawyer Ilenja Mëhilli, has requested the dismissal of the case. According to her, the process has been separated for several Italian citizens Francesco Zummo, Ignazio Zumo, Fabio Petruzzella and Daniele Cestagalli who are being tried in Italy. According to the lawyers, Rezart Taci is also facing legal proceedings there.
The case against the Albanian businessman continues in the Special Court, while the trial panel is expected to rule on SPAK's request for conviction and confiscation of property suspected of being the product of criminal activity.
