The espionage cell in Tirana is revealed, under investigation and a former

Five people, including former senior Shish officials, are being investigated by the SPAK for leaking classified information. The investigation launched in January 2021 refers to the case identified in the annual report of the secret service, where unfriendly countries have tried to obtain confidential information from Albanian citizens. SPAK has recently ordered housing searches for persons involved in this case in order to collect evidence.

Ora News ”reveals the file of the espionage cell in Albania, which the State Intelligence Service mentioned in its activity report for 2021, which it submitted a few days ago to the Albanian Parliament.

The documents provided by highly confidential sources in SPAK, shed light on an investigation launched by SHISH, the anti-terror structure in the State Police and the Special Prosecution, putting under strict supervision 5 people, such as Frederik Ymeri, Gjergji Kotin, Bashkim Abazi, Luftar Çunaj, and Maksim Ferra.

From January 2021 until today, these persons are in pursuit of these institutions, while the investigation of the file with No. 3, has been kept secret by SPAK and SHISH.

The documentation states that the proceeding No. 3, initiated for the criminal offenses of "Providing secret information", "Receiving Rewards", "Putting in service of foreign states" and "Structured criminal group", is administered by prosecutor Altin Dumani, who carried out wiretapping actions of the three suspected subjects, the control of their apartments and offices and the field observation of three characters, informs Ora News. 

Initially, the investigation was initiated by SHISH agents, and then the information was channeled to the anti-terror directorate of the State Police, in order to continue the procedural actions in favor of the criminal file that Altin Dumani had registered in SPAK.

The file states that the subject suspected of espionage, Frederik Ymeri, was part of the State Intelligence Service and that his last task in this institution was in 2003 as Director of Organized Crime in the Central Office of the State Intelligence Service.

While Maksim Ferra, it is said in the file is another old espionage cadre and until 2000 he was part of the surveillance sector in the Central Apparatus of the State Intelligence Service.

 Maksim Ferra, currently runs the non-profit center called "Union Stop Crime", which he has registered in court since February 2015.

Personi tjetër Gjergji Koti, që sipas SPAK dhe SHISH, është i përfshirë në këtë veprimtari agjenturore, është një ish-oficer Policie që ka shërbyer pranë Shërbimit të Çështjeve të Brendshme dhe Ankesave në Policinë e Tiranës.

Më tej në dosjen e SHISH dhe drejtorisë së Antiterrorit tregohet se Maksim Ferra, Gjergji Koti, Bashkim Abazi dhe Luftar Çunaj, janë rrjeti informative i Frederik Ymerit.

Ymeri synon sigurimin e informacionit të klasifikuar, që cënon veprimtarinë e institucioneve të rëndësishme shtetërore të sigurisë dhe jo vetëm.

 SPAK thotë se deri tani nuk janë arritur të sigurohen të dhëna konkrete në lidhje me destinacionin përfundimtar të këtyre informacioneve, por dyshohet se kjo veprimtari cënon sigurinë kombëtare në formën e spiunazhit.

“…bazuar në informacionet që disponon SHISH, interesimet e Frederik Ymerit, janë shumë dimensionale lidhur me sigurimin e informacionit të klasifikuar, informacion të cilin dyshohet se e siguron nga lidhjet e tij në institucionet e sigurisë dhe konkretisht në Ministrinë e Brendshme dhe Shërbimin Informativ Shtetëror të Republikës së Shqipërisë. Deri aktualisht, të dhënat tregojnë së Frederik Ymeri, gjatë zhvillimit të kësaj veprimtarie, siguron informacion nga dy lidhjet e tija të ngushta, Gjergj Koti dhe Maksim Ferra…”-thuhet në dosjen hetimore, siguruar nga Ora News.

There is also information that in one case Frederik Ymeri and Maksim Fera, informed an unauthorized person who is part of unfriendly services (Russian-Iranian) in our country, regarding the names of special employees of security institutions in the country , thus seriously undermining their activity as a whole.
