The fight against crime is successful only when assets that come as a result of criminal activity are confiscated. This was stated by Minister Ervin Hoxha at the conference "From Illicit Profits to Public Good: The Future of Confiscated Assets", according to which assets confiscated from organized crime and as illegal are increasing.
The Minister emphasized that the confiscation of assets with sources from criminal activity is the final phase of the fight against crime.
"The final step is the good administration of such an asset, which means returning it to the public service. Whether through use by state structures, or through giving it to private individuals, or through a final sale at auction, a double auction, as provided for by law. Taking over the administration of a property created with illegal sources is the final phase of the entire inter-institutional effort to hit crime at its nerve center, which are properties, assets, and money ," said Hoxha.
In his speech, the minister emphasized that the fight against crime and criminal assets is without any compromise and will continue unabated.
"We want to discourage those individuals or criminal networks who think they can profit illegally and then enjoy the fruits of such activity," emphasized Hoxha.
Mentioning some of the results achieved by the AAPSK, Hoxha stated that "there are a considerable number of buildings or premises that have been confiscated and put at the service of the public. Even the Agency itself works today in confiscated offices. Our goal is for the confiscated assets to maintain their value and possibly increase in value so that they can be inventoried as material goods at the service of citizens." (A2 Televizion)
