An employee of the “Aleat” Company, which is tasked with the fabrication
of the new Albanian biometric passports was arrested in Vlore, charged
of power abuse and falsification.

The 25 year old from Vlore, Rinald Kapo, worked as an admission operator for the Aleat Company at the Shushice Commune, Llakatund village. He is suspected of having provided a fake passport to a fugitive, with data that belong to another citizen.

Passport falsification

The dialect has betrayed a 18 year old girl from Decan, Kosovo, during her attempts for receiving an Albanian passport under another identity.

The Kamez Police employee has immediately notified his colleagues for making further verifications that led to the arrest of the girl and her three helpers, while the police is looking for two others. Credible sources said for Top Channel that Fatlinda Tetaj, a 18-year-old girl from Decan, Kosovo, was trying to take an Albanian passport for joining her fiancé with residence in Belgium.

Through another person from Has, Albania, who was the mediator in this role, they have found a Kamez family to which they promised 2000 EUR in exchange of the new identity, more specifically, Fatlindja Tetaj, who would take the name of the girl from Preza, Tatjana Matraku.

The identity theft problem was identified a few months earlier, bringing the change of the rules for the biometric passport. Since the role of the local police inspectors for verifying the claims was removed in the new process, after the new scheme was discovered, this process was returned again to the police, for the necessary controls.

The office against the Financial-Economic Crime confirmed that there were dozens of cases with people that applied with another identity, mainly under an agreement with someone that would sell the identity for money.
