The Tirana Prosecutor's Office has launched investigations into the death of Italian businessman Massimo Ferro, who passed away after undergoing stomach surgery for weight loss at the private clinic "Trita Hospital" in Tirana.
The case is being investigated by prosecutor Florian Boriçi, who has seized medical records and carried out other investigative actions, while awaiting an autopsy by the Albanian Institute of Forensic Medicine.
The event occurred on December 22, 2025 at QSUT, where the 55-year-old died after stomach surgery for weight loss.
In parallel, investigations are also underway in Italy, while the businessman's family has legal representatives to discover the cause of death.
They claim that the businessman was not given preliminary tests and checks before being put into the operating room, as they insist on justice.
What the autopsy revealed about the businessman's death
Massimo Ferro, a 54-year-old entrepreneur from Camposampiero, died on December 22 in Albania, a few days after a gastric resection surgery performed at a private clinic in Tirana.
Italian authorities, as reported by Corriere del Veneto, have launched an investigation into the businessman's death, requesting a second autopsy, after the first revealed a scandal carried out by the private hospital.
They noticed that Ferro's body was missing a stomach and part of his heart, which had been removed during the examination in Tirana.
The body had been reassembled using fur, a procedure now considered outdated and not in line with modern forensic standards.
The results of the two tests will be subjected to a delicate comparison, with the aim of clarifying whether death was due to natural causes or due to any complications related to the surgery or postoperative care.
To shed light on the matter, the Padua prosecutor, Andrea Girlando, has listed the surgeon and the dietician, both from Lombardy, as suspects, linked to the businessman's medical history before the trip.
Massimo Ferro, who suffered from type 2 diabetes and was determined to lose weight after years of failed attempts, had gone to a private clinic in Milan, which offered him a sleeve gastrectomy to be performed in Albania, in a facility referred to as "twin".
The cost of the procedure, 4,400 euros, was approximately 10,000 euros less than the price charged in Italy.
Communication with the surgeon was reportedly primarily via WhatsApp, a factor that is also being examined by investigators.
After the surgery, the man's condition reportedly worsened, leading to his death on December 22 in the intensive care unit of Tirana hospital.
