They received 50-500 euros for the passage of illegal immigrants to the EU

The Tirana Prosecutor's Office has sent to trial 8 border control employees who allowed deported or illegal border crossings. The owner of a travel agency has also been sent to trial, the latter being accused of the criminal offenses of "Active corruption", "Passive corruption" and "Abuse of office".

The corrupt scheme was uncovered after the phone of the owner of the  Eneo agency, Sulejmanaj,  who was previously arrested for possession of narcotics, was dismantled.

From an examination of this citizen's phone, conversations with police officers regarding verifications in the TIMS system in Rinas were found.

According to the prosecution, Eneo Sulejmanaj owns a Travel Agency "Bus Albania" with the object of activity, among other things, being a "ticket sales agency".

"In order to increase the profits of his company, this citizen recruited and secured passengers to travel to EU countries, taking over, in exchange for monetary payments, the extra value of the travel ticket, the passage out of the territory of the Republic of Albania of persons who, for various reasons, could not travel," the Prosecution informs.

For this purpose, according to the prosecution, the owner of the agency established a relationship with the border control police officer, Briken Tereziu,  from whom, in return for the promise of monetary reward, he demanded their passage.

This employee, after receiving various requests and orders, instructed Eneo Sulejamanaj as to which cabin the passengers should be presented to, the monetary value in exchange, as well as the method of their delivery, also taking on the task of placing fictitious stamps on their travel documents, in order to avoid rejections from their destination country.

In cases when he was not on duty, he would pass these passengers on to his colleagues, who were also border police officers, for processing. In cases that had other problems, depending on them, monetary values ​​were also determined in exchange for allowing passage, and the values ​​ranged from 50-500 euros.

From the investigations, the Tirana Prosecution Office informs that it resulted that the police officer, Briken Tereziu , for the period April 2023 - March 2024, allowed the exit from the territory of the Republic of Albania for 55 citizens in violation of the law with days of stay in the Schengen area consumed and 10 minor citizens, not provided with a power of attorney from their parents.

The other accused inspectors,  Sokol Xhika , Ermal Mesi , Aris Drini ,  Ylli Prençi, Rei Shenjtolli , Enkis Aliaj , and Argil Hasa , acted in the same way, who for the same period allowed the passage of various citizens whose days of stay in the Schengen area had expired or who had been deported from EU countries, as well as minors without parental authorization.
