Police arrest Oltion Buzi, the owner of the commercial entity 'Buzi Store'. His arrest was made by a court decision that had ordered his arrest in absentia for the criminal offense of 'Hiding income'. In January of this year, he was declared wanted by order of the Tirana prosecutor's office, which uncovered tax evasion. The investigations had begun in 2024, and according to the prosecutor's office, it was discovered that 'Buzi Store' did not declare 3.7 million euros of income to the tax authorities.
According to the Prosecution, Oltion Buzi used an illegal system for issuing false tax invoices, a computer system unauthorized by the country's Taxes that operated through an unlicensed online platform "store.dyqanimen.com".
The investigation revealed that during sales in his business, Buzi issued forged and untaxed invoices. The investigation began after a referral from the Tax Investigation Directorate, which revealed that this commercial entity was issuing invoices with higher values, while declaring a much lower value for tax purposes, thus avoiding the payment of tax obligations.
Two months ago, the prosecution announced that a search had been conducted at eight physical locations where "Buzi Store" operates and computer units, mobile phones, tablets and monetary values in various currencies amounting to eight million new lek, which were not justified by legal documentation, were seized.
