SPAK asks the Special Court to try as a structured criminal group 16 people suspected of being involved in the theft of thousands of citizens through fraudulent microcredit schemes.
Along with them, SPAK also seeks trial for 3 microcredit companies and a bailiff's office, as legal entities. According to the special structure, the defendants in the case, including administrators Arben Meskuti and Eda Ibro, as well as several private bailiffs and former bailiffs, are accused of "fraud with serious consequences", "forgery of documents", "structured criminal group" and "commitment of criminal offenses by a criminal organization".
The investigation has identified Meskuti as the creator of the scheme, its organizer and leader, while 13 others as executors. Referring to the investigation, the four companies “Micro Credit Albania”, “ADCA”, “Final” and “Private Bailiff’s Office TDR Group” have carried out their activities in the same place, have used the same computer system and have financed each other with monetary resources.
SPAK claims that as a result of this criminal group, which has been operating for more than 9 years, citizens in economic difficulties have fallen into the trap of this scheme through coercion, unlawful use of debtors' personal data, and misrepresentation of untrue facts.
The essence of the scheme, according to SPAK, was the illegal multiplication of citizens' obligations by applying high interest rates, collecting the obligation from family members or relatives who had no connection to the initial loan, as well as by appropriating assets and real estate through fictitious auctions.
To achieve their criminal goal, the suspects made hundreds of thousands of illegal notifications and threatening phone calls to debtors and family members. Tens of thousands of citizens' bank accounts have been blocked and remained so in violation of the law for years, and real estate has been seized for minimal values, while the entire activity has also caused serious social consequences.
As part of this investigation, company assets and bank accounts worth over 420 million lek and around 1.3 million euros were previously seized. (A2 Televizion)
