Judge Marinela Osmani, left in power the arrest order for power abuse
against the former Tax officials, the firmer Director Aferdita Hysa and
the former Inspector of Reimbursement Procedures, Tahir Kuka.

Seven others are on the run, including two fictive owners of ghost companies, Mirjan Beneja and Gjergji Tute. The police is negotiating for the seven fugitives to turn themselves in. They are accused of robbery of state property and money laundering.

The damage caused to the state, according to the Task Force, mounts up to 5.2 million USD. The suspects, in cooperation with each other, have included 11 Chinese companies which have actually closed their activities since 2004.

The former Director Hysa has asked for a softer measure than the prison detention until trial, since she is a mother and her presence was necessary at home.
