Investigations and the role of the Italian media

The investigation began on January 9, 2026, following evidence obtained by Italian journalists from the investigative show  Le Iene  and following complaints from citizens who reported fraud and significant losses.

An Italian citizen infiltrated the call center premises, providing concrete data on how the scheme operated.

The activity is suspected to have taken place in the  Atti Tower building , on "Ibrahim Rugova" street in Tirana.

According to the investigation, the operators called foreign citizens and convinced them to invest in fake Forex and cryptocurrency investment platforms.

The money was transferred in virtual forms, ending up in accounts controlled by the scheme's organizers.

The prosecution emphasizes that the leaders of the activity had taken strong security measures, placing cameras and surveillance personnel outside the premises to signal any possible control.

The vacating of offices and the intervention of the BKH

On the evening of January 15, 2026, after suspecting a possible police action, those responsible emptied the offices in the tower and removed electronic devices during the night.

In the early hours of January 16, investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation caught six people red-handed while transporting computers and servers to a facility on "Bajram Curri" Boulevard.

Some of the equipment is suspected to have been attempted to be destroyed.

Two other people were detained as part of the operation, while three citizens were declared wanted, including the brothers Alfred, Agim and Arjan Prekaj .

According to investigations, Alfred Prekaj turns out to be the owner of the company "Balkanspro", which operates in the field of call center and telemarketing.

Remir Gjoligaj, David Qerimi, Endri Gjata, Elis Merkaj, Rentjan Peposhi and Odeas Kuqi have ended up in handcuffs .

But who are the Tropoja brothers - from construction worker to call center boss?

Agim Prekaj  was a simple construction worker in Italy. His life changed when he met Naze, a call center operator and mistress in Tirana and later one of the main managers of fraud schemes worth tens of millions of euros.

Naze and Agim Prekaj began to gradually build their fraud network, which would bring them staggering profits.

Prapaskena writes that Naze Prekaj is known in the world of call centers as the mastermind behind the rise and 'success' of the network defrauding European citizens through fake platforms.

They invested the money from criminal activity in real estate in the names of close and trusted people. 

Through one well-known builder in Tirana alone, they are suspected of laundering over 100 million euros.

Meanwhile, even after the SPAK attack, Agim Prekaj is opening new call center locations throughout Tirana in the name of his trusted soldiers.

Seizures and material evidence

During searches in 28 residential premises, offices, vehicles and garages, authorities seized hundreds of computer equipment, servers, phones, SIM cards, documents and security cameras.

Among the seized items is a luxury Ferrari vehicle, suspected of being linked to the organizers of the scheme.

Investigations continue to identify all persons involved and to fully document the financial fraud network that is suspected of operating for a long time in Albania.
