Albanian Airlines Investigated

27/06/2011 15:15

The task force unit at the Tirana Prosecution started the money
laundering investigations against the head of the Albanian Airline
Company, Ali Evsen, who was arrested in Spain for the same charges, and
also for bribe and corruption.

Inner sources say that this unit has frozen an account of 1 million Euros in Albanian Banks.

The investigators told Top-Channel that the account was frozen for not allowing any alterations while being investigated. But they also said that they have undertaken no actions against the Albanian Airlines company, where Evsen is a shareholder. This was due to the fact that the Albanian Prosecution, in cooperation with the Turkish and Spanish prosecutions, are in that phaze of the investigation that sheds light on the money laundering scheme.

The prosecutors confirmed for Top-Channel that they are waiting other information from Spanish authorities. Ali Evsen was arrested in Madrid together with an Egyptian citizen, son of one of former President Moubarak’s close friends.
