Tirana Police announce that they have initiated criminal proceedings against a citizen, after she failed to declare the amounts of money deposited by various persons in her entity, which were then used at interest.
Ermira Korça , 72, is the owner of an Exchange store in the capital from which police have seized around 500,000 euros, suspected to have been the proceeds of criminal activity.
"As a result of an investigation, initiated by the Money Laundering and Criminal Assets Investigation Section of the Tirana DVP and followed by the Tirana Prosecution Office, the "Hidden Funds" operation was finalized, within the framework of which citizen EK, 72 years old, was criminally prosecuted.
According to the evidence collected, it appears that undeclared money was deposited by various persons in the entity owned by this citizen, with the aim of using it for interest-based lending, outside the banking system.
Work continues to identify other persons involved in this criminal activity, with the aim of fully documenting their activities and holding them criminally accountable.
"The procedural materials were referred to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office for further action," the police statement said.
