Ylli and Pjerin Brahimaj, father and son, arrested the day before by Tirana's Anti-Trafficking Unit, had created a secret room in their apartment to set up an entire laboratory for the production of passports, identity cards, patents, and even ownership certificates, all of which were fake.
To enter the secret production room in the apartment they had in the Tufina area, on "Myslym Keta" street in the capital, they built a sophisticated mechanism to open the door. During the search of the apartment, the police, who were unaware of the mechanism, broke open the entrance door, incorporated into the wardrobe.
Then, the intelligent system used to enter and exit the laboratory was discovered.
Next to the door was a normal light switch and a socket. To open the door, you had to plug a simple cell phone charger into the socket and press the switch, and the secret door would open.
Ylli Brahimaj was doing this activity while he was under "house arrest" by SPAK, for the same criminal offenses. Police sources say that the group's laboratory is being revealed for the first time, thus completing SPAK's criminal proceedings with additional evidence.
The Anti-Trafficking Unit also took into custody a 62-year-old man who, not far from the house where the laboratory was set up, had a graphics studio, where father and son modified photos and forms to forge them.
Most of the fake documents found were Greek, Italian and American, including a quantity of money, as well as counterfeit goods.
