Gent Sejko

One of the names being amnestied for the microcredit scandal, which affected hundreds of thousands of Albanians, is the Governor of the Bank of Albania, Gent Sejko, whose role was to regulate financial institutions, but the lack of control led to the extortion of clients. Through actions or inaction, the Bank of Albania did not prevent this phenomenon, although dozens of institutions, offices or thousands of clients officially complained about the fees imposed by financial institutions for debt collection.

For more than a year, law enforcement institutions have been verifying and investigating the Governor's role in this scandal, as a voluminous report from the Ministry of Justice went to the Tirana Prosecutor's Office. Initially, the capital's prosecutor's investigators conducted several verifications and issued security measures mainly for the owners of financial institutions, while dividing the file into several sub-files, one of which was that of Gent Sejko.

The investigations continued for several months on this charge, while since April 2025, the file and some files of this criminal proceeding were transferred from the Tirana Prosecutor's Office to the Special Prosecutor's Office. The reasoning was that only SPAK can investigate the Governor of the Bank of Albania. The criminal proceeding was registered, while until now his file has been left "on the shelf" and attempts are being made to close it.

Microcredit SCANDAL/ Ping-pong with Gent Sejko's file, who is amnestying
Facsimile: The Special Prosecution has asked the Court to cease the investigations against Gent Sejko

So far we have only seen a ping-pong with the Gent Sejko file, while so far we have not seen senior officials of the Bank of Albania being questioned by SPAK. The journalists and cameramen standing in front of the door of the Special Prosecutor's Office have not filmed any BoA employee, not even Sejko, the directors or even the members of the Supervisory Council of the Bank of Albania.

It seems that, since the moment the file was transferred to SPAK, everyone has been of one mind to amnesty the Governor of the Bank, Gent Sejkos, not wanting the story of Fullani to be repeated. But, the facts are evident, the complaints are there, and the actions and inactions undoubtedly need to be investigated.

VoxNews has learned that, on December 24, 2025, a hearing was held at the Special Court for the “Gent Sejko” file. This is the second request of the prosecution to discontinue the criminal proceedings, as the first request was made by the Tirana Prosecution Office, but made to the Court of General Jurisdiction of Tirana, and not to the Special Court. The District Court decided that only the GJKKO has jurisdiction, and therefore the file was transferred to SPAK.

But the Special Prosecution Office seems to think the same as the district prosecutors, as special prosecutor Dorina Bejko has asked the court to close the case. The request went to judge Flora Hajredinaj, who ordered SPAK for the umpteenth time to investigate Gent Sejko for the microcredit scandal. The court believes that there may be abuses, so it insisted.

"The investigations are being conducted by prosecutor Dorina Bejko, but she has not even bothered to investigate. In fact, she has not even appeared at the sessions at the Special Court for 3 consecutive times, as she was once in The Hague, once in Brussels with former director Altin Dumani, and once the judge was absent," sources from the Special Court told VoxNews.

Our editorial team learned that, in the session on December 24, prosecutor Dorina Bejko requested 30 days to conduct some final verifications to finally make up her mind about Gent Sejko. However, the court has given her 60 days, during which time SPAK must make up its mind whether to charge Gent Sejko with abuse of office, or to dismiss the criminal proceedings due to lack of evidence.

VoxNews has learned that Sejko is being investigated for a debt collection scheme that affected hundreds of thousands of Albanians. The company Micro Credit Albania and a group of private enforcement offices, notaries or other companies related to it were involved. There are suspicions that Sejko or other senior officials of the Bank of Albania, including members of the Supervisory Council, have abused their power, so the file was transferred to SPAK, while the possibility of MCA committing fraud, concealing income, money laundering or being a criminal group would be examined.
