Cafe Momus, the bar on Panorama Street, is the main base from which the Albanian partners of the Italian Alessandro Ungaro operate, right next to the SPAK building.
After the landing of the Germans and Austrians, when many call centers collapsed like towers of cards, an Italian mafia continues to laugh in silence. Alessandro Ungaro, the founder of Smartcom and the architect of an entire illegal Forex empire, no longer works with his hands. Through Albanian "students", he continues to operate from luxurious offices on Panorama Street, right next to the SPAK building and the Bank of Albania.
Alessandro Ungaro, an Italian citizen born on September 2, 1958 in Montignoso, Massa-Carrara, is the undisputed emperor of Albanian Forex. Upon arriving in Albania in 2013, he founded Smartcom, the first company that would serve as a front for a fraudulent activity that would last for more than a decade. But after numerous blows and partial withdrawal by direct administrators, the "emperor" did not disappear. He simply changed tactics.
His former Albanian employees and associates, identified as BM and AR and well-trained in the art of fraud, have taken over the field operations. These "students" turned call center bosses continue the same fraudulent activity, with the same unrealistic promises: deposit 250 euros and become a millionaire. Their main base is Cafe Momus , a bar on Panorama Street, but in the same complex are also MOMUS, LIS Medical and Skydental. All these companies are connected to the same network, all operate under the shadow of Albanian justice, neighboring SPAK and BKH. The pamphlet is investigating the people involved and will be published in another article.
The offshore network of the FOREX "emperor"
Ungaro is not just an Italian businessman. He is the architect of an entire network of companies, spread between Albania and Cyprus, that function like a labyrinth to hide money and evade the law.
In Cyprus, Ungaro registered SMARTCOM PROMOTING (CYPRUS) LTD, an offshore company closely linked to Capital Index (Cyprus) Ltd., Green Cola Ltd., MAP Corporate Services and PMG Islandserve Nominees Ltd. The names of D.Plati and SP appear in this network, as nominees and administrators of companies that serve as a cover for millions of euros circulated out of control.

In Albania, Ungaro founded AM Holding in 2016, the holding structure for the entire empire. Through it, entire companies are controlled, directly or indirectly. But his name officially appears as administrator only in Kokoshka. The rest of the network is held through other people: DK, SM, AM, BM, AR
Five different companies in Tirana, all linked to telemarketing and unlicensed financial brokerage. Tens of millions of euros circulated every year. Hundreds of investigations by the FBI, FIU and European Community institutions. The financial brokerage activity is carried out without a license from the AFSA, while the registration of the "brokerage" facility in the Central Bank is suspected to have been done with the knowledge of a corrupt employee.
And yet, the empire stands.
Ungaro has survived numerous raids. He has seen other call centers collapse after the arrival of German and Austrian investigators, but the "emperor" and his "disciples" continue to operate from Panorama Street, almost next to the building where SPAK and BKH are located.
It is not known how long this empire will continue to laugh in silence, or whether SPAK will finally take concrete action against a network that operates openly in the heart of Tirana. /Pamphlet
