Luxury villa, 120 cars, luxurious life, fraud: "Sheikh-Imam" from

120 cars, villas for rent for 24,000 francs a month, special license plates, 1.5 million francs in damages, unpaid loans. A sheikh from Kosovo involved his family of six, as well as two assistants, in systematic fraud. A Swiss court sentenced him to 3.5 years in prison – and a 3-year ban on entry to Switzerland.

A fraud scheme in Switzerland has reached its conclusion at the Dietikon Court near Zurich, revealing the behind-the-scenes of a fairytale life built on lies, deceit and misuse of the Swiss state. At the center of this scandal is a 57-year-old from Kosovo, who is known as the “sheh-imam” and claims to lead around 8,000 dervish believers, writes the newspaper “Tages Anzeiger”. He is accused of having organized a criminal family system that caused a total loss of 1.5 million Swiss francs.

The police investigation began with a raid on a luxury villa near Zurich, for which the sheikh paid a staggering rent of 24,000 francs per month. During the operation, investigators confiscated documents and electronic equipment; a complex system of fictitious companies that served as a cover for illegal enrichment was also discovered. According to the prosecution, this sheikh played the role of a real estate developer, defrauding banks and the Swiss state with falsified balance sheets, in particular by benefiting from over half a million francs from emergency loans for Covid-19 (corona pandemic).

What has left the public speechless is the unbridled luxury that the family displayed with the stolen money. Although the sheikh declared to the state offices that he was poor, the family owned a fleet of 120 vehicles. Among them are Porsche Panamera cars, several Mercedes models and a Hummer H2 Luxury. As a car enthusiast, the sheikh spent about 100 thousand francs just to buy three registration plates with special numbers, which in Switzerland are sold at auction as symbols of prestige.

During the trial, which lasted six days, the main defendant was sentenced to 42 months in prison and mandatory deportation from Swiss territory for a period of 3 years. The prosecution had requested 15 years of deportation from Switzerland.

As for the other family members, including the ex-wife and four children, the court decided to acquit them of the charges or sentence them to minimal fines. The court's reasoning was that a strict patriarchal structure reigned within the family where the sheikh decided everything. The children testified that they had signed documents blindly due to their trust in their father and had no knowledge of finances. In fact, due to the months spent in detention, the daughter and one of his sons will be compensated with about 70 thousand francs by the state, as the court assessed that there can be no "collective responsibility" for the sins of the head of the family.

During the trial, the sheikh apologized, arguing that as a religious leader he did not want to appear publicly as a business owner, so he used family members. The judge was convinced that the criminal energy of the Kosovar sheikh had grown over time and that previous fines had had no effect on him. One of the sheikh's assistants was given a suspended sentence, the verdict for the other will follow later.
