An operation undertaken following cooperation between the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, the Economic Crime Sector and the investigative show "Stop" has led to the inspection of the premises of the "Nikaj" sh.pk shopping center in the city of Saranda.
The control decision was issued by the Court of Tirana, within the framework of a criminal proceeding registered for several serious criminal offenses in the economic field.
The Tirana Prosecution Office has launched investigations against the administrators and managers of this shopping center for several criminal offenses, specifically: "Forgery of documents", where it is suspected that manipulated tax and financial documents were used to hide the real turnover of the business and many assembly decisions. "Hiding income and tax evasion", through non-declaration of real income, avoidance of tax obligations and failure to issue fiscal coupons.
"Laundering of proceeds of crime", suspecting that the proceeds from illegal activity were put into circulation through various financial schemes to hide their origin. "Trading in contraband goods", as during the checks, suspicions of goods entering the territory without proper customs documentation were verified.
But there are also suspicions about the criminal offense of illegal employment, tax evasion, and induced bankruptcy.
According to preliminary sources from the investigative group, the suspected tax evasion amounts to billions of lek, making this one of the most serious cases recently investigated in the south of the country.
Currently, the State Police has accompanied the company's administrators for further procedural actions, while further arrests are not ruled out, depending on the evidence collected.
The investigation also focuses on tax administration officials in Saranda. The city's tax director and several relevant inspectors are under investigation, suspected of abuse of office, failure to carry out legal controls or tolerating violations, which may have enabled the continuation of illegal activity for a long period.
The investigative group is seizing financial documentation, servers and electronic equipment, while checks continue both at business premises and in other warehouses related to commercial activity.
As part of the investigation, a suspect is also an officer of the Saranda Judicial Police in charge of economic crime. According to materials recorded by the investigative show "Stop", the subject in question is suspected of being regularly informed and supported by police officer Klement Bello.
This allegation has been included in the investigation file and is expected to be verified by the competent authorities in the course of the procedure. The authorities are expected to issue an official announcement after the completion of the first phase of the investigation. /Pamphlet
