SPAK has completed its investigations regarding the 'Bankers' file, while filing 3 charges against 6 defendants in the case that was initially investigated by the Fier Prosecution Office and then transferred to Tirana.
The charges have been communicated to Leonidha Çobo, Ritvan Zoto, Elvira Plaku and 3 former employees of the Ministry of Finance.
Journalist Klodiana Lala, referring to information from SPAK, announced that they are charged with abuse of office, theft through abuse of office and money laundering. Referring to the investigative file, the defendants appear to have purchased land and leased it to the Bankers company at high rents.
Meanwhile, SPAK continues its investigations into one of the largest affairs in the hydrocarbons field.
SPAK's investigations were conducted by prosecutors Anita Jella and Enkeleida Millonai, and also covered the actions of tax authorities that have allowed Bankers' abuses over the years.
In a response from SPAK, it is stated that this file is being investigated for "Creation of fraudulent schemes related to value added tax", "Hiding income", "Laundering of proceeds of crime or criminal activity", "Abuse of office", "Failure to perform duties by tax authorities", "Passive corruption of senior state officials or local elected officials", "Structured criminal group" and "Commitment of criminal offenses by criminal organization and structured criminal group".
In December 2025, the GJKKO extended the investigation period against Bankers by 3 months. Prosecutors Enkeleda Millonai and Anita Jella argued that this extension is necessary to carry out other investigative actions, due to the complexity of the case, and the request was approved by Judge Erion Çela.
According to the Prosecution, Bankers has made oil sales and exports worth a total of 532 billion lek, but has declared losses for each year, totaling 11.7 billion lek, avoiding profit tax and benefiting from dubious VAT refunds.
