Raiffeisen Bank robbery at the Paris Commune, Robert Duka is also accused of 28

The arrest of 50-year-old Robert Duka in Tirana has also received attention in the Greek media, which have revealed details of his criminal past.

According to an article published by the Greek media outlet "Protothema", Duka, also known as Albert Duka, was previously accused of involvement in a structured criminal group that is suspected of committing 28 bank robberies in Greece.

The 50-year-old was arrested by the Tirana Police as part of the operation codenamed "Bank Hunter", as he is suspected of being the author of two armed robberies in the capital, which occurred on June 2 and November 2, 2026, in the Paris Municipality area. It is suspected that around 75 thousand euros were taken from both incidents.

According to the report, the latest robbery occurred on November 2, at around 10:45 a.m., when the masked perpetrator dressed in black arrived at the bank on an electric scooter. He entered the branch premises, closed the door to prevent the people inside from leaving, and threatened the security guard and the cashier with a gun.

After taking about 60 thousand euros in various currencies, he left on his electric scooter. The first robbery was committed five months earlier, on June 2, at another bank in the same area, where about 15 thousand euros were taken.

Greek media outlets are focusing on the 50-year-old's alleged links to criminal activity in Greece. According to reports, Albanian authorities had been keeping him under surveillance for several days, as it was suspected that he was preparing to leave for the neighboring country again.

Another detail mentioned in the article is that Duka's wife works at another banking institution in Albania. The 50-year-old lived in Vlora, but had also rented an apartment in Tirana, which he allegedly used as a hideout.

He was arrested near Kosovars Street in the capital. During the searches, police seized 8,200 euros, two mobile phones and clothing suspected of being used during the robberies.

According to Albanian authorities, his identification was made through special investigative methods, technological systems and clothing analysis, despite attempts to hide his face.

Investigations continue to fully document the two robberies in Tirana and verify the arrestee's possible links to criminal activity in Greece.
