At the request of the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, the security measure 'Arrest in prison' has been imposed on the former President of the Order of Dentists, Nikoll Deda, for 3 criminal offenses.
At the request of the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, the measure "Arrest in prison" was executed for citizen Nikoll Deda for committing the criminal offenses "Theft committed by abusing office", "Abuse of office" and "Actions in contradiction with the court's decision" provided for by articles 135, 248 and 321 of the Criminal Code.
This citizen was reported by citizen AG to the Economic and Financial Crime Investigation Section for misappropriation of funds and for acting contrary to the law by increasing the budget of the 'Order of Dentists' from year to year, writes A2.
In 2020, where the budget was 38,500,000 Lek, in 2021 it increased by 13,500,000 Lek more. In 2022, the budget increased to 125,837,000 Lek because it also purchased a building for the institution, including the investment it made within the building.
The investigative actions resulted in reasonable suspicions that the entire budget increase was intended to misuse funds and personal benefits for oneself or third parties.
The Prosecution Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, considers that there is reasonable suspicion, based on evidence, that the suspect Nikoll Deda has committed the elements of the criminal offenses "Theft committed by abuse of office", "Abuse of office" and "Actions in contradiction with the court's decision" provided for in Articles 135, 248 and 321 of the Criminal Code.
According to information, citizen ND has fled and evaded the investigative actions carried out by the judicial police, making the risk of fleeing and evading criminal responsibility evident and concrete. The citizen in question, in his capacity as President of the Order of Dentists, allowed the employment of people without criteria, his family members, with the aim of manipulating the decision-making of the National Council since 2016.
Despite being a defendant and currently in court charged under Article 320 of the Criminal Code in another proceeding, he has taken active actions in abuse of office to further concentrate powers in his hands by exploiting the structures of the USSH.
The Prosecution Body assesses that it is necessary to take a personal security measure against citizen Nikoll Deda, as there are important reasons that put the obtaining or authenticity of evidence at risk and there is a risk that he will flee.
