While the public’s attention and political debates are focused on the
arrest of former Governor Ardian Fullani, 16 second-level banks are
helping the investigations to find out where did the 7 million USD go.
Sources said for Top Channel that 10 second-level banks have already answered to the Prosecution’s request, but the information was not made public. Six other banks have not handed over the materials yet.
The Prosecution insists to have two main leads regarding the money transactions, especially for the bank accounts of Ardian Bitraj, Mimoza Bruzia and Klevis Bejtjaj.
At first, Bitraj was the only one being prosecuted for bank theft in cooperation, but now the Prosecution is using these charges against the three of them. Everyone else involved is charged with power abuse, and their relatives have also had to verify their assets.
Six of the defendants, including the former Governor and the former Inspector General, will be this Monday at the Court of Appeal for challenging their measure. The Prosecution will be represented by Prosecutor Nezir Gjoka. The Tirana Prosecutor, Ramadan Troci, will seize documents from “Grand Thornton”, the company hired by the Bank of Albania for the auditing.
The Legal Director of the Bank of Albania, Altin Naqe, will also be interviewed this week by the Tirana Prosecution. In fact, Naqe has visited the Prosecution frequently in the past day and has handed over the documentation requested by the investigation group.
