This Thursday, the former director of the Cadastre in Durrës, Rajmonda Dashi , was arrested by order of the Special Prosecutor's Office (SPAK) .
SPAK accuses Dashi of the criminal offenses of " Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity ", " Structured criminal group " and " Committing criminal offenses within a structured criminal group ".
According to SPAK, Dashi has helped two brothers, convicted by the Belgian justice authorities, in the laundering of money, for criminal offenses related to the trafficking of narcotics.

The two brothers cooperated with the former director and another person, and have carried out systematic, continuous illegal actions with the aim of laundering the income that they have benefited from carrying out criminal activity, through investment in real estate in Albania.
