Just like in the movies. What at first glance looked like an ordinary wardrobe in a bedroom was actually a disguise for a secret door leading to a hidden room.
In this room built inside an apartment on "Myslym Keta" street in Tirana, Ylli and Pjerin Brahimaj, father and son, arrested on Saturday by the capital's Anti-Trafficking Unit, had set up a laboratory for the production of forged documents.
Through digital and mechanical devices, they produced passports, identity cards, patents, and even property certificates. After discovering the father and son's laboratory, which they entered by breaking down the front door, the police noticed that the secret door had a sophisticated opening mechanism.
The intelligent mechanism for opening the secret door was based on a regular light switch and a socket. In order for the secret door to open, a phone charger had to be plugged into the socket first. Then, by pressing the switch, the door would open.
Ylli Brahimaj was involved in this false document laboratory, while he was serving a "house arrest" security measure from the Special Court, suspected by SPAK of being part of a criminal group involved in document forgery.
Police sources say that the group's laboratory is being revealed for the first time, thus completing SPAK's criminal proceedings with additional evidence.
According to investigators, the production of a forged passport with foreign citizenship in this laboratory amounted to values of 15,000 to 20,000 euros and is suspected of being used for illegal passage to European Union countries or the USA.
The Anti-Trafficking Unit also took into custody a 62-year-old man who, not far from the house where the laboratory was set up, had a graphics studio, where father and son modified photos and forms to forge them. (A2 Televizion)
