In a statement to the media, SPAK confirmed that unauthorized persons managed to access the emails of prosecutors, obtaining some information, but were unable to penetrate the investigative files. It is even noted that an attempt was made to access the email of the head of this institution, but without success.
"The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime received information on March 12, 2025 that it had been targeted by an illegal intrusion of the email addresses of special prosecutors. Thanks to security measures, it was not possible to interfere with the internal system of the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK), which remains intact.
From the verifications, it has resulted that only the e-mail addresses of some prosecutors were interfered with, but not in the general IT system of the institution. The responsible persons have managed to obtain some information, without being able to provide access to the investigative files. They have also attempted to interfere in the e-mail of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Altin Dumani, but without success", SPAK announces.
It is also noted that it has been possible to identify the person who carried out the intervention and arrest him along with another person, who is suspected of having distributed this data to third parties.
"Thanks to an intensive investigation led by the Special Prosecution Office, with the involvement of the BKH and the Expertise Sector of this Prosecution Office, it was possible to uncover this illegal interference, by identifying and arresting within 24 hours two citizens - the individual who carried out the interference in the e-mails and the one who distributed the information to third parties. It was also possible to seize the devices used to carry out the interference as well as the downloaded files.
The prosecutor in the case, in order to preserve investigative secrecy, has ordered the persons who have come into possession of this information not to publish it. In the meantime, other individuals who may have had connections with the arrested persons and possessed the information have also been questioned.
In parallel with the criminal proceedings, the Special Prosecution Office launched an internal administrative investigation, which confirmed that the general IT system was not compromised. At the same time, additional measures were taken to strengthen the protection protocols of the institution's general IT systems.
Up to this stage of the investigation, there is no evidence that the arrested persons have collaborated with internal SPAK personnel.
SPAK assures the public and all interested parties that all measures have been taken to protect files, sensitive data and maintain the integrity of the institution's infrastructure.
"Investigations regarding this matter continue in the context of suspicions of the existence of a structured criminal group," SPAK announced.
