From business in England to crime in Fier/ DETAILS from the file of Refit Buzi, on trial for fraud

Refit Buzi, who killed his ex-father-in-law and then himself, after returning from England had attempted to restart his life in Albania and was engaged in the import-export of fruits and vegetables.

 
According to the file obtained by journalist Anila Hoxha, it is said that proceedings had been initiated against Refit (Nertil) Buzin for the criminal offense of "Fraud", while the testimony that the deceased gave at the time has also been revealed.

The 35-year-old had lived in England for four years and in 2024 had returned to Albania to start an economic activity as an intermediary in securing the sales market for fruit and vegetable exporters in Albania. This activity was being carried out without having a NIPT or license. Refit Buzi had entered into negotiations with Albanians SH and FR to send to England to the business headed by Turkish citizen BG

On 09.08.2024, a record was kept for a sales invoice dated 23.04.2024, worth up to 31,872 pounds. Also on 28.04.2024, another invoice worth 32,177 pounds was also issued, both fiscalized.

According to the authorities, summarizing the statements of Refit Buzi, SH and FR there were discrepancies regarding the payment of the above-mentioned amounts. The two associates of the deceased claimed at the time that he had received part of the money from the company headed by the Turkish citizen. They learned this fact through indirect evidence from people who went to contact this company in Enfield, England.

Regarding this event, on 27.12.2024, Refit Buzi was questioned by the judicial police and stated that:

"I reside at the above address, I live with my parents and I am currently unemployed. The payment for the transport was made in cash because this was requested by the transport company. At that time, I did not have a license and I was not registered and I was a natural person, therefore the actions were carried out by the company of citizen SH, who is licensed to carry out this activity.

Later, I opened a NIPT number and am currently licensed to export fruits and vegetables, but I have not done any work so far. No, I have not made any contract. Our agreement was made verbally. From the conversation with S., our profit, after all expenses were removed, would be divided between us equally. S. had the rights and obligations because he was a licensed firm and I did not appear with any country. I have talked to him and I have some of them saved in the Whatsapp application on my phone.

When questioned by the judicial police, Refit Buzi explained that:

"I lived in England for 3-4 years and returned after I couldn't do the paperwork. With the acquaintances I had established in England, I got involved through fruit and vegetable exporting companies. One of these companies is A* ******.

I contacted S. who told me that I was in a position to sell in England. Since it was a serious company, I contacted the company U** ***** ***** *** *** *** with administrator BG. He told me from England that they could sell as many tomatoes as I could deliver and I asked to deliver 18 tons of tomatoes. We bargained and agreed. BG told me that within 7 days after the truck arrived in England, he would make the payment.

On 23.04.2024, they loaded the vehicle driven by IK. The latter worked for a company that only did transportation, which cost 6500 euros. He gave the amount of 7000 euros to SH to pay for the transportation. On 28.04.2024, the cargo arrived in England and a document was completed by the purchasing company that made no claims about the price or the quality of the goods that had arrived.

In England, to the same company, I sent another shipment, this time not with S., but with the company F******** located in Lushnje. I communicated with the owner of the company U** ***** ***** *** *** *** who sent me the payment for the transport, twice from the 2000 pounds that he sent through transfers and he would send the due part within 28 days when he received the money from the sale of the product. I sent my people to his work and he gave them the rest that was owed to me and they sent it to me through various transfer offices. In total, from the Turk BG, I received 13,400 pounds.

More than a week has passed and the money has not been transferred from BG to SH's account. We contacted him again, but he kept making different excuses. SH rightly demanded the money from me after I acted as guarantor and conveyed his concerns. We waited 28 days and he lied to us again. SH sent his people to BG, but he kept obstructing us by saying that the traders had lowered the price, he wanted to pay less than what he was entitled to. The cargo was worth 31,700 pounds while he wanted to pay 9,200 pounds. I only received the transport money, which was 13,400 pounds.

I had the same problem with the company F********** as with SH, but the latter have filed a lawsuit in England against BG, and are demanding the money legally." /Top Channel
