The Milton Group with Amant Josifin and his employees extorted around 200 million euros from European citizens, laundered it through the KFC network and then sold the shares to businessman Fatmir Zymberi, "leaving the license plate" to the Special Justice Department.
The fast-food chain KFC ALBANIA with 13 restaurants, a turnover of 1.44 billion lek and a profit of over 141 million lek, changes ownership in October 2025 as if it were a vegetable stall in Tirana, without any questions about the price, without any control over the payment method and without any investigation into where the sale money ended up.
Meanwhile, SPAK, which is tasked with following the traces of criminal capital, has not opened any file on this transaction, has not questioned either the buyer or the seller, and has not requested any information from the offshore jurisdictions where TP Investment Limited is registered, leaving in the shade the main question: where did the dirty money extorted from European citizens through Milton Group's call centers in Tirana go?
The buyer is Fatmir Zymberi's KAN shpk, a Kosovar group that built Prishtina Mall and is now expanding its reach into the Albanian market, but the seller is TP Investment Limited. An offshore company registered in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, which in turn had acquired this business just a year earlier, in July 2024, from Tiandzi Limited, which had acquired it from Global Fast Food Holding, which had acquired it from Alban Alikoni's DADU shpk, the fraudster of the GULF fuel scheme.
So a chain of ownership that looks more like a game of hide-and-seek than an ordinary investment and that went uninvestigated by any Albanian institution, but what happened in October 2025 is even more serious because that's where the dirty money left Albania through a sale that no one has seen.
The question on SPAK's table, if they can sit at the table, is extremely simple and therefore very unpleasant: in which bank account did the money from the sale of KFC end up, because the money that TP Investment received from Zymberi is not ordinary money, it is the same money that German and European citizens lost on the Milton Group's fake investment platforms.
That is the money that went through Amant Josifi's call centers in Tirana and that was laundered through KFC's daily turnover and now, after the sale, it has ended up somewhere, in an account, in a bank, in a jurisdiction, and SPAK doesn't know where, or won't know, because it hasn't investigated.
The indictment of the Bamberg General Prosecutor's Office and the Bavarian Central Cybercrime Office against Mikheil B., filed for financial damage amounting to at least 230 million euros in German-speaking countries alone, has described Albania as an operational base of a well-organized criminal industry, where fraudulent call centers linked to the Milton Group worked with hundreds of operators and at the center of this architecture stood Amant Josifi, who is now internationally wanted and is hiding in Dubai.
But the fraud money did not escape with Josif, it stayed in Albania and entered KFC, was laundered through its cash registers and then, in October 2025, exited Albania through a sale that SPAK has not investigated.
Global Fast Food Albania, the operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in Albania, was created in 2015 by Alban Alikoni's DADU shpk, the fraudster of the GULF fuel scheme, and from that moment on, this business began a cycle of ownership that no sane person can imagine how it could have gone uninvestigated. Moving to Global Fast Food Holding Limited, then to Tiandzi Limited, and in July 2024 to TP Investment Limited, registered in Ras Al Khaimah, a jurisdiction that offers complete privacy and concealment of ownership, while behind this company stands Lela Gelkhvidze, a Georgian citizen who appears as a formal shareholder, but the nominal Georgian administrators are the daily currency of money laundering.
Next to her appears Revaz Saakadze, the mastermind of fraudulent forex schemes in Europe and partner of Amant Josifi, who also appears as a partner with Aleksandër Josifi, Amant's father, in the construction company Balkan Investment Group, suspected of money laundering.
All of these individuals were connected to each other through shell companies, offshores, and businesses in Albania, while their dirty money passed through KFC and then flowed out.
When Fatmir Zymberi's KAN shpk bought the KFC chain, the sale money went to TP Investment Limited, but the question is: where did that money go next, because TP Investment is just a shell, a structure created to take money and redirect it elsewhere.
Elsewhere it could be a bank account in the United Arab Emirates, or the British Virgin Islands, or some other jurisdiction where money disappears from track, and SPAK, if it were to investigate, would ask institutions for records of this transfer. It would seek cooperation from Ras Al Khaimah to identify the beneficial owner of TP Investment and would ask to see the accounts where the millions of euros of the sale ended up, but SPAK has done none of these, and the question that remains unanswered is: will it ever?
The German indictment has proven that the call centers existed and were deceiving, has documented the damage of 230 million euros and has named Amant Josifin as the coordinator, but the German indictment cannot investigate where the money from the sale of KFC went, because this is SPAK's job, and SPAK has done nothing so far.
SPAK has not requested information and has not seized any accounts related to this transaction, leaving the way open for an entire money laundering scheme that starts at call centers in Tirana, passes through KFC, exits through an offshore sale and ends somewhere outside of Albania, without any obstacles, without any alarms and without any criminal prosecution.
So, the question is simple: in which account did the money from the sale of KFC end up?
Who is the beneficial owner and why haven't law enforcement institutions requested this information?
If dirty money can leave Albania without being investigated, then money laundering in this country is not a crime, but an industry, and SPAK is not fighting this industry, but letting it function, turning a blind eye to transactions worth millions of euros and thus giving a clear message to any criminal structure that wants to launder money in Albania: here you can come, here you can launder, and here you can leave without being asked. /Pamphlet
