Prosecutor's Office Announcement:

The Tirana Prosecution Office has cracked down on tax evasion by the entity 'Buzi Sport', and the administrator is wanted.

The Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Tirana, based on the referral from the Tax Investigation Directorate, opened a tax evasion case and declared citizen OB wanted after the entity he managed failed to declare 3.7 million euros in income.

Within the framework of the investigation of criminal proceedings no. 8744, of 2024, after several months of investigative work with special methods in cooperation with the Tax Investigation Directorate, it was possible to discover and stop this large-scale tax evasion by the commercial entity 'Buzi Sport', and the decision of the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Tirana for the control of the places of activity of this entity was executed.

During the investigation, checks were carried out at 8 addresses linked to the entity 'Buzi Sport' and the fiscalization company, where material evidence was seized that included computer units, mobile phones, tablets and monetary values ​​in various currencies amounting to 8,000,000 lekë, which were not justified by legal documentation.

Investigations showed that 'Buzi Sport' used an unauthorized computer system for monitoring and issuing tax invoices.

This system, which operated through the unlicensed online platform "store.dyqanimen.com", enabled the issuance of counterfeit invoices, which contained deficiencies in the elements required by tax legislation and were not fiscalized.

In some cases, the entity issued invoices with higher values, while declaring a much lower value for tax purposes, thus avoiding the payment of tax obligations.
