The Prosecutor's Office of Tirana has seized the assets of a Polish citizen in Albania after she is accused of money laundering. She, in cooperation with her husband, who has been arrested, had created a pyramid scheme at the international level, through which, together with other individuals, they have benefited about 28 million euros.
According to the reference information, "Interpol" and prosecutors from five different countries worked to seize and freeze the assets of this citizen in Dubai.
"On the charge of the criminal offense of 'Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity', the Tirana Prosecutor's Office seizes the assets of the Polish citizen in Albania
The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of the General Jurisdiction in Tirana requests the preventive seizure of the assets of the Polish citizen AM, who is involved in investments in real estate with unknown sources of funds and is suspected of having committed the criminal offense of "Cleaning products of the criminal offense or criminal activity".
On 04.01.2024, this prosecutor registered criminal proceedings no. 1022, for the criminal offense "Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity", provided for by Article 287 of the Criminal Code.
A law enforcement institution, with letter no. 27799/2 prot, dated 14.11.2023, was informed about the Polish citizen AM, who turns out to be the wife of the German citizen SM, wanted for financial fraud and arrested at the airport of " Rinasit" on 21.08.2023, after being accused of having created a pyramid scheme at the international level, through which, together with other individuals, they have benefited about 28 million euros. According to the reference information, "Interpol" and prosecutors from five different countries worked to seize and freeze the assets of this citizen in Dubai.
From the investigation carried out so far in Albania, the criteria for imposing a preventive seizure on the assets of the AM citizen are met, as there are sufficient indications and evidence that create reasonable suspicion that this citizen, in cooperation with her husband, the SM citizen, have consumed the criminal offense "Cleaning the products of the criminal offense or criminal activity". From the investigation based also on the extradition practices held for the citizen SM, there is a reasonable suspicion that this citizen has committed criminal offenses through fraud and laundering the proceeds of the criminal offense in some countries that also seek his extradition, such as South Korea and Poland. There is reasonable suspicion that this citizen has benefited from large sums of money through fraudulent schemes.
He and his wife allegedly invested the illegally obtained money in the purchase of properties in different countries from where the crime of fraud is suspected to have been committed. Thus, the investments by both spouses were not only made in Dubai, but there is a reasonable suspicion based on the evidence administered during the investigation, that all the assets that the citizen AM bought in Albania were bought with the money of her husband. her, acquired as a result of fraud, in some countries of the world. Real estate purchase values that are significant amounts, such as 483,000 euros, 28,000 euros, etc., are sufficient indications that the assets are the product of a criminal offense.
For this reason, the prosecution, based on Article 274 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, requests the imposition of the "Preventive Sequestration" property insurance measure on real estate:
– Property no. 590/1/62+4-7, volume 14, page 170, ZK. 2529, sip. 176.06 m2, apartment type, with an initial value of 483,000 euros, location Lundre, Tirana;
