Tirana Prosecution Office sets 'prison arrest' measure for former
Nicholas Deda

The Tirana Prosecutor's Office has ordered ' prison arrest ' for the former President of the Order of Dentists,  Nikoll Deda.

He held this position even though his term had ended.

According to the decision of the Tirana Prosecutor's Office, Nikoll Deda is facing charges of numerous financial abuses.

Deda is also accused of employing his family members, specifically the boys' fiancées, in the institution. 

Announcement from the Tirana Prosecutor's Office:

At the request of the Tirana Prosecution Office, the security measure 'Arrest in prison' is assigned to the former President of the Order of Dentists, ND for 3 criminal offenses.

At the request of the Prosecution Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, the measure "Arrest in prison" was executed for citizen ND for committing the criminal offenses "Theft committed by abusing office", "Abuse of office" and "Actions in contradiction with the court decision" provided for by articles 135, 248 and 321 of the Criminal Code.

This citizen was reported by citizen AG to the Economic and Financial Crime Investigation Section for misappropriation of funds and for acting contrary to the law by increasing the budget of the 'Order of Dentists' from year to year.

In 2020, where the budget was 38,500,000 Lek, in 2021 he increased it by 13,500,000 Lek more.

In 2022, the budget increased to 125,837,000 Lek due to the fact that the institution also purchased a building, including the investment it made within the building.

The investigative actions resulted in reasonable suspicions that the entire budget increase was intended to misuse funds and personal benefits for itself or third parties.

The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, considers that there is reasonable suspicion based on evidence that the suspect ND has consumed the elements of the criminal offenses "Theft committed by abusing his office", "Abuse of office" and "Actions in violation of the court's decision" provided for in Articles 135, 248 and 321 of the Criminal Code.

According to the Information report, citizen ND has fled and evaded investigative actions carried out by the judicial police, making the risk of fleeing and evading criminal responsibility evident and concrete.

The citizen in question, in his capacity as President of the Order of Dentists, allowed the employment of people without criteria, his family members, with the aim of manipulating the decision-making of the National Council since 2016.

Despite being a defendant and currently in court charged under Article 320 of the Criminal Code in another proceeding, he has taken active actions in abuse of office to further concentrate powers in his hands by exploiting the structures of the USSH.

The Prosecution Body assesses that it is necessary to take a personal security measure against citizen Nikoll Deda, as there are important reasons that put the obtaining or authenticity of evidence at risk and there is a risk that he will flee.
