The concessionaire company "Bankers Petrolium" is accused by the Fier Prosecutor's Office of a fraud scheme to evade tax obligations for 20 years of activity in Albania.
Data shows that in two decades of activity, the company has negative capital, meaning it declares more expenses than income, thus avoiding paying corporate income tax to the state.
She did this by declaring inflated invoices for every expense she incurred.
But another fraud scheme, according to fiscal experts, is the fact that the company director declared a salary of 1 million euros per year.
" The General Director had an annual salary of 1 million euros. Of course, many do not believe this salary, but according to the laws in force, they cannot stop it. It seems that through the salary, the money from the wealth of Albanians has been channeled towards the beneficial owners, who are on the Asian continent. So salaries are a mechanism to take the money where they want and this fact remains difficult for the tax administration to contest ," said Edvin Stefani, fiscal expert at 'Vizion Plus'.
In 20 years of activity, the concessionaire company has continuously changed its managerial and technical leadership levels, which were paid high salaries.
In parallel, all work processes carried out with subcontractors had unjustified invoices, which the prosecution suspects were intended to avoid declaring profits. According to the law, if the company made a profit, it would be shared 50/50 with the state.
