'Pandora Papers' / The name of the Indian citizen with Albanian citizenship comes out, the businessman who cheated 2.1 billion dollars

An Indian citizen has appeared in the Pandora Paper scandal, which is also related to Albania. The rogue businessman Nitin Sandesara has been described as the tip of the iceberg of a giant financial scandal, which also includes Albania. There was a New Delhi court order against him and the other brother for their extradition. They are thought to still be in Albania, as they also have Albanian passports . They were building palaces in Albania in the most coveted areas of Tirana.
Writing for Sandesara
In 2017-18, when investigative agencies were busy investigating criminal cases against Nitin Sandesara and his Sterling Biotech group for a suspected over $ 2.1 billion bank loan fraud, Sandesara, who had fled India, was engaged in collecting securities, bonds from Nigerian banks and lawyers to set up a range of companies in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) to expand its oil business, writes Pandora Papers who has investigated from The Indian Express articles .
"We consider Nitin Jayantilal Sandesara as financially credible and with good morals from our relationship with him," Union Bank of Nigeria Plc said in a February 2018 reference letter to Fidelity Corporate Service Ltd.
Another March 2018 letter from Nigerian law firm EI Alosiba & Co said, "We have known Nitin Sandesara for 15 years and that is one of our best and most reliable acquaintances, he has never been involved in bankruptcy proceedings , criminal or similar. "
These letters were used by Sandesarat to set up at least half a dozen companies in BVI: Constant Capital and Investment Ltd; Prime Finance and Capital Alliance Ltd; Sterling Petroleum Trading Ltd; West Africa Capital Limited; African Capital Alliance Ltd and Continental Capital Alliance Ltd. The purpose of these companies, according to the data, was to invest in oil and gas firms in France, Nigeria, Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates and India.
The data show that Nitin Sandesara is the sole beneficiary owner of these firms and he has stated that the funds invested in these companies are his "savings". Most of these companies were created with an initial investment of USD 0.5 million and have an identical revenue forecast of USD 3 million in the first year of operations.
Company data show that West Africa Capital was created on November 8, 2017 with Nitin Sandesara as the sole owner holding 50,000 common shares of a single class with a par value of $ 1 each. The next day, Sandesara opened another firm called the African Capital Alliance with a similar stake.
Të paktën, dy firma Constant Capital dhe Prime Finance u inkorporuan në të njëjtën ditë, 16 Mars 2018, me Sandesara që mbante 50,000 aksione prej 1 dollarë secila në këto kompani.
Është interesante që të dy firmat thanë se planifikojnë të bëjnë biznes në Indi, përveç vendeve të tjera. Kjo pavarësisht nga fakti se Sandesara dhe familja e tij ishin tashmë në arrati pasi agjencitë hetimore indiane po i hetonin ata për mashtrime me bankat.
Ndërsa përfshinte Constant Capital dhe Prime Finance, agjencia e ofrimit të shërbimeve korporative, Fidelity Corporate Services, i kërkoi në mënyrë të përsëritur Sandesara që të siguronte një "certifikatë të policisë nga India" për të plotësuar normat e njohjes së klientit tuaj për kompanitë e sapoformuara BVI, nëse ishin të pastër ose jo.
Sandesara nuk e paraqiti këtë. Në vend të kësaj, ai transferoi Constant Capital dhe Prime Finance nga Fidelity Corporate në një ofrues të shërbimeve të korporatës Sable Trust Limited në BVI në Prill 2018.
Është interesante që të gjitha këto firma të krijuara nga Sandesara midis nëntorit 2017 dhe prillit 2018 i kanë shpëtuar hetimit nga Drejtoria e Përmbarimit (ED) dhe Byroja Qendrore e Hetimit (CBI) që po hetojnë Grupin Sterling, Sandesara, vëllanë e tij, Chetan Sandesara për mashtrim i dyshuar bankar prej mbi 2.1 miliardë dollarësh.
Sandesara dhe familja e tij u larguan nga India në vitin 2017 pasi biznesi i tyre u vu nën skaner. Në Shtator 2020, India shpalli Nitin dhe Chetan Sandesara dhe Dipti Sandesara si persona në kërkim, si fajtorë për krimet ekonomike.
Hetimi nga agjencitë ka gjetur se vëllezërit Sandesara dyshohet se kanë devijuar huanë e marrë nga Sterling Group për qëllime jo të mandatuara, e kanë shpërndarë dhe ricikluar atë përmes një rrjeti të kompanive off-shore, ED ka pretenduar se Sandesaras përdornin emrat e punonjësve të tyre dhe në krijimin e 249 kompanive vendase dhe 96 kompanive off-shore.
Sipas ED, grupi ishte i angazhuar në tërheqjen e fondeve në formë huaje në shumën prej 600 milion $ duke shkelur kushtet e përcaktuara nga Banka Rezervë e Indisë (RBI) ndërsa sanksiononte huanë. Deri më tani agjencia ka sekuestruar asete në vlerën 1.93 miliardë dollarë për këtë çështje.
ED kishte marrë në pyetje në qershor të vitit të kaluar ish -udhëheqësin e Kongresit Ahmed Patel në lidhje me çështjen kundër Sandesaras. Patel u pyet për lidhjet e tij me Sandesaras bazuar në deklaratën e një dëshmitari i cili pretendoi se ai organizoi eventet për djalin e Patel me udhëzimet e Sandesaras që paguanin për të.
Aktualisht, Sandesaras thuhet se janë në Shqipëri ku thuhet se kanë marrë nënshtetësinë. Edhe pse autoritetet indiane po përpiqen t'i ekstradojnë ata, Sandesaras kanë propozuar një ofertë të njëhershme shlyerje prej 350 milionë dollarësh për huadhënësit indianë për vonesa të huasë prej 2.1 miliardë dollarësh.
Lidhja dhe investimet në Shqipëri
Dy vëllezërit Nitin Sandesara dhe Chetankumar Sandesara u arratisën nga India. Deri vonë autoritetet indiane besonin se Nitin Sandesara dhe Chetankumar Sandesara ishin arratisur në Nigeri. Por e vërteta ishte krejt ndryshe. Gjatë kohës që ishin në kërkim nga autoritetet indiane dhe skandali ishte bërë publik edhe në mediat ndërkombëtare, dy vëllezërit Sandesara kanë mbërritur në Shqipëri.
Indiani mashtrues
Madje në 6 shkurt të vitit të kaluar, kur kërkoheshin në të gjithë planetin, ata kanë arritur të marrin nënshtetësinë shqiptare, një proces gjatë së cilit çdo individ i huaj kalohet në sitë nga shërbimi informativ shtetëror dhe autoritetet e tjera të rendit. Ky është dyshimi i parë i fortë se si SHISH ka lejuar dhënien e nënshtetësisë për dy persona, të cilët jo vetëm ishin në kërkim ndërkombëtar, por i kishin emrat të botuar në mediat ndërkombëtare për pastrim parash.
Top Channel bën të ditur se madje vetëm një muaj më parë Nitin Sandesara në shkurt të 2019-ës u prit zyrtarisht edhe nga kryeministri i Kosovës Rramush Haradinaj, takim të cilin shefi i qeverisë kosovare e ka bërë publikë në profilin e tij në Facebook.
But the scandal of the failure of the Albanian authorities is even bigger than that. Arriving in Albania at the end of 2017, Nitin and Chetankumar Sandesara have set up two companies in the construction sector, Tulja Real Estate and Laxmi Real Estate as shown in the registration documents at the national business center.
Both companies are registered with addresses in the dry lake area of Tirana. Exactly on the edge of the dry lake, Laxmi Real Estate is building the building together with an Albanian company, as shown by the construction permit issued by the Municipality of Tirana in November last year. Construction is considered by the US State Department and the European office for the prevention of money laundering as the most risky sector for money laundering in Albania./ Shekulli
