Prosecutor's Office of Tirana

The Prosecutor's Office of Tirana closed the investigations for Klodian Gradeci, the former director of hydrocarbons at the National Agency of Natural Resources and one of his subordinates suspected of abuse of office, with the claim that after the denunciation of the general director of Albpetrol, he did not find any information about the damage of caused by 1.5 million dollars.

But the closure of the case by the prosecutor's office against two former officials and the proceedings for other specialists has brought the reaction of the court which, according to the documents that Top Channel exclusively has, has refused to drop the charges. The court has returned the file, ordering the prosecutors of Tirana to investigate in the same way as they did for other suspects such as the company "Phoenix Petroleum" or civil servants such as citizens Naim Kasa, Arben Doda, Simon Marku and Denis Durrësi.

The court assesses that the scandal came from the regular failure to fulfill the duty and therefore the individualization of the responsibilities of each of the AKBN officials should be carried out, starting from the actions and being connected to the consequences brought by the invoices deposited with a bank

As mentioned in the documents, the forgery of invoices with a total value of 1,299,000 USD has been confirmed by the American judicial authorities.

The court says that based on the claim of the citizen Eva Peza, the FBI engaged in an investigation where it revealed details.

The investigation opened with fanfare also brought arrest warrants for former high-ranking officials such as Klodian Gradeci, but the claims that AKBN employees certified the unfinished works by reflecting them in the invoices as fulfilled were extinguished by the accusation.

The most important decision-making point of the preliminary judge of Tirana is the clash with the prosecutor's office, which has made it fashionable to fragment files and separate the defendants by closing sensational stories without fuss. Therefore, the court orders that this separate case be merged into a single one since the facts and fables are the same./ TCH
