Bashkim Driza at court again

“Bashkim Driza has falsified the signature of his wife, Fiqerete Ymeti, through which the defendant Anila Balili is authorized for the sale of a property. Fiqerete Ymeti has never been in the Dominican Republic before”, declared the Prosecutor Ols Dado.

Found guilty more than 10 years ago for defrauding thousands of people with the “Populli” Ponzi scheme, Bashkim Driza might be sentenced again, although in absence, as in the first case.

The Tirana Prosecution asked three years in prison for the 55-year-old who has an international arrest warrant upon him, after being sentenced with 16 years to prison for fraud. The Prosecutor says that when he was hiding in the Dominican Republic, Bashkim Driza has falsified documents with the help of Anila Balili, by selling a property in Tirana that he owned together with his wife. According to the prosecution, Driza has falsified the signature and the investigations showed that his wife has never been in the Dominican Republic. This property was fictively sold to a person who didn’t exist, and the sale was made through falsifications.

For this case was being investigated even a notary, but the act for her is barred since more than five years have passed since the crime was committed.
