Fraud and money laundering, 9 thousand square meters of land seized in Fushe Preza

Fraud and money laundering, 9 thousand square meters of land seized in Fushe

At the request of the Tirana Prosecution Office, 9,000 square meters of arable land in the Fushë Preza area have been seized, as part of investigations into a suspected case of fraud and money laundering.

The investigations, initiated following a complaint by citizen MD, revealed that the property in question – inherited from his grandfather through Law No. 7501 – had been illegally acquired by citizen AT, who then sold it for personal gain.

According to the Prosecution, the property was transferred to AT's name, without the approval of the other members of the farming family, who have been co-owners since 1992. This action constitutes a direct violation of the law on land division.

AT has given contradictory statements about how he acquired the property, initially claiming it was a family heirloom and then later claiming he had purchased it. The prosecution points out that it has no data on the legal source of the amount claimed for the purchase – approximately 450,000 euros.

In 2016, this property was "donated" to citizen BV, represented by AV, who later stated that he had purchased the property for 100,000 euros.

From the totality of the evidence collected, it results that AT has illegally acquired property through fraud against citizen HD.
