The Bank of Albania has handed to the prosecution only the footages of security cameras for the last 40 days of May and June, while the investigation body still misses tapes for the period from 2011 until May 2014, which would give investigators answers based on evidence about how the 713 million ALL were stolen.
Prosecutors continue to be surprised with occasional insights performed in the Treasury Bank and certainly highlighting the fact that this object of special importance is surveyed with simple security cameras has left them speechless.
An unofficial source told Top Channel that is sought to be seized the duplicate hard drive that should normally be archived, because it is a subject of particular importance, but this is not made possible.
Judicial police officers have only administer footages of 40 days, after the camera system installed in the branch of the Treasury is such that stores footages only for this period. After this period they delete themselves.
On the other hand, the sources added that except safety operator, Dhimiter Davidi, in custody because has seen Ardian Bitraj in two occasions coming up with plastic bags, are under investigation other employees of the Department of Homeland Security and Defense of the Bank of Albania, along with their security superiors, who had the task of observing the actions of their subordinates and also compile reports of workers’ movements.
Prosecution is doubtful about the damaged money destruction that according to preliminary insights shows that a special machinery of Emission Department has the capacity to destroy each day 400 thousand banknotes.
But, according to prosecution, there is a discrepancy between the reports issued by the two sectors, that of Cash for Action, which puts out of the market every day the damaged banknotes and Cash Stoke, which after depositing this value gives the same amount in new funds.
This process is carried out overnight between both offices, as physical movements of funds, as well as accounting actions that reflect these movements, say the members of the investigation team. But the investigation results that there are contradictions in the documentations.
