The Court of Tirana has given the arrest measure for Ardian Bitraj and
Mimoza Bruzia, accused of abusing with their duty and failing to report a
crime. This is about a very big theft at Bank of Albania, mounting up
to 6 billion ALL. The authorities started investigating after Ardian
Bitraj, Head of the Stock Case, confessed that for the past four years,
money that was supposed to go in circulation and money that had to be
destroyed has been removed from his sector.
Ardian Bitraj, an employee of Bank of Albania since 1993, confessed this Monday that his sector had removed large amounts of money from the bank.
After trying to postpone the inventory, he confessed by shocking them: “I have been taking money for four years. I hid them in my clothes and took advantage of the fact that my chief was new and didn’t know what was going on. To replace their weight, I used to put books in their stead”, he declared.
This is the confession, Bitraj implicated his coworker in the same sector, saying that she had understood that 400 million ALL was missing from the case. She had asked him and he had promised her to return them.
Sometimes I left the office with 10 million ALL in my clothes and no one could understand. I have lost all of my money in gambling.
I even owe 5 million ALL to a casino. But this confession seems suspicious for the Prosecution. Mimoza Bruzia denies having anything to do with the theft of the 45-year-old from Skrapari, whose initials were reported a few days ago.
