At the request of the Prosecutor's Office, the Police of Tirana arrested two people, who in cooperation with each other and through fraud transferred 11 million euros from shell companies abroad to Albania.
Arlinda Marku, 41, from Lezha, and Darin Gezdari, 34, from Tirana, were arrested. They turned out to be the owners of 10 fictitious companies, mainly in the consulting field, but which actually operated to transfer money.
Of the 10 companies, 7 were registered in the name of Gezdar and 3 of Marku. From the investigations, it has emerged that within two years, the two arrested cooperated to create fictitious companies, through which they transferred money with criminal sources, from Cyprus, Gibraltar and Malta, first to Albania and then to Canada.
It is learned that they used the gambling scheme to transfer 11 million euros. From the investigations, it is suspected that the company "GreenView Marketing" has served as a catalyst for money laundering by issuing fictitious invoices and not performing any legal services and activities to foreign companies, most of which have casino and gambling activities, and then transferring them to company outside Albania.
According to the prosecution, all this suspected criminal activity was carried out in order to launder money. In this fraud scheme, there are suspicions that there are other people involved, Albanians and foreigners, for whom investigations have been launched to identify them. (A2 Televizion)
