Veysel Sahin

Albania has become a genuine state where every individual from all over the world can find the fiscal paradise they have dreamed of, without paying taxes, where bribery is eliminated, you have facilities, you don't pay taxes, and all services are provided by the state administration itself, for just a "fistful of money."

A few months ago, Vox News reported that one of the individuals operating in Albania for many years is the Turk Veysel Sahin, who has set up a network of firms operating in the dark world of call centers, including those scammers.

But worldwide, especially in his native Turkey, he is a dangerous individual, facing serious criminal charges and recently having half a billion euros frozen or frozen, as there are suspicions that he is connected to a large gambling network. Vox News has reviewed several international and Turkish media outlets, which have reported that one of the largest cryptocurrency companies, Tether, has frozen Sahin's $500 million in digital assets.

According to these media outlets, this money is linked to a large illegal gambling and money laundering network in Turkey. “Turkish prosecutors accuse Sahin of running a large illegal betting network. This is one of the largest individual asset seizures to date in the cryptocurrency industry,” the media outlet said.

In fact, the head of this company, Ardoino, added that Tether is now cooperating with international authorities to block all assets. "The authorities contacted us, gave us information, we looked at the information and acted according to the laws of the country. And that's how we act, when we cooperate with the FBI and everyone else," he said.

The suspicions are that Veysel Sahin has created a network of companies dealing with Call Centers in several countries, including Albania, by investing this money in cryptocurrencies. But, with this blockade, it seems that Sahin's noose is narrowing, at least in his homeland and in European countries, while in Albania he continues to operate and spend tens of millions of euros, again with the same activity.

A few months ago, the editorial staff of Vox News denounced that our country has become an "offshore" paradise for many individuals with criminal pasts from many countries around the world. Indians, Koreans, Chinese, Turks, Italians, Greeks, Israelis, etc., etc., have found a fiscal paradise in our country. The proximity to Europe, the climate or the connection of the state itself with criminal groups, has brought about this climate, where every individual, regardless of their connections or past, manages to launder the money of illegal activities in the best way.

"Construction, betting, call centers, agencies, transport, vehicles and many other businesses are passing into the hands of these people every day, making the cost of living unaffordable for many Albanians, to the point that villages, towns or even medium-sized cities are being emptied, leading to a large emigration ," Vox News would denounce. According to the investigation, initially Italian mafia bosses invested in Albania, then some Indians, Greeks or even from Latin American countries.

Each of them has seen how business and politics created the necessary conditions for money laundering. If once, drug money was laundered in African countries or even on islands known as tax havens, now it can be done quite easily in Albania. Ministers, MPs or even directors or secretaries in ministries have become the "realtors" for these individuals to have their haven in Albania.

Vox News has learned that these companies have strict police protection, where special forces or guards trained to protect personalities are put at their service. They shelter in luxury villas or apartments, while they then quickly create companies or even participate in transactions to bring the money to Albania.

One of the names that has all the above-mentioned privileges is undoubtedly Veysel Sahin, a Turkish citizen accused, arrested, investigated, tried and convicted in his homeland for fraud involving large sums. Now “Veseli” has become Albanian, works and lives in Albania. The money he has earned in illegal activities in Turkey, or even in some other countries, is easily laundered in Albania.

In fact, he is often seen in luxury casinos in Albania, where he spins millions of euros. His "hand" is very high, while even the managers of these casinos have described him as the most "VIP" in Albania. In one night, he can spend hundreds of thousands of euros, not to mention millions of euros. He has the money "in cash", from the income from a multitude of shell companies that he has created in Albania.

Mashtrimet e nisura në vendlindje, Turqi, “Veseli” i ka transferuar në Shqipëri, teksa ka arritur që të ketë edhe një “urë” lidhëse mes politikanëve turq dhe atyre shqiptarë. Nëpërmjet lidhjeve që ka krijuar, normalisht me pagesa miliona euro nëndorë, turku jeton dhe punon i lirë, duke kënaqur këdo që e mbron dhe i jep mundësinë që të shtojë pasurinë.

VoxNews ka mësuar se turku ka gjetur në Shqipëri një parajsë të madhe, duke u marrë me të njëjta aktivitete. Ai ka nga pas një grup të fuqishëm politik dhe ekonomik, që i mbrojnë shpatullat nga hetimet apo kontrollet shtetërore. “Me këto lidhje, politikë dhe biznes, ai ka arritur të hapë në afërsi të ish-zonës së Zogut të Zi në Tiranë një call center. Merret me mashtrime në mbarë botën, bursa e aktivitete të tjera të paligjshme. Nuk i ka në emrin e vetë” tha një burim për VoxNews, në kushte anonimati.

Në pritje të licencës për bastet online, turku i është futur me “kokë” mashtrimeve me call centera apo edhe me mashtrime online. “Nga këto call centera, ai merr të dhënat e shtetasve nga Europa, apo edhe nga Shqipëria, dhe më pas nis mashtrimet me bursat. Është një aktivitet i paligjshëm dhe askush nuk vepron. Ka krijuar edhe gjoja karta bankare online, por pa pasur një licencë nga Banka e Shqipërisë. Të gjitha mashtrime dhe askush nuk vepron” pohojnë të njëjta burime.

Vox News ka mësuar se turku po synon edhe një llokmë të madhe; licencën për baste online. Një ligj i miratuar në fund të vitit 2023, i cili ka hyrë në fuqi në muajin prill 2024 por ende s’është implementuar. Arsyeja është se, lobimet e fuqishme nga të gjitha anët, sidomos nga bota e krimit, kanë sjellë bllokimin e emërimit të anëtarëve të komisionit ndërministror.

Politikanët e fuqishëm që qëndrojnë pas këtyre biçim biznesmenëve, ndër të cilët edhe “Veseli”, po lobojnë shumë fort që të fusin në ato komisione njerëzit e tyre. Në atë tavolinë janë plot 10 licenca, ku gjysma duket se është e paracaktuar për aktorët që janë aktualisht në treg dhe kanë kazino fizike, ndërkohë që gjysma po lobon fort, ose më saktë është hapur një ankand. Deri më tani, turku është në krye me ofertën në këtë ankand, i cili ka futur për lobim grupe të mëdha interesa.

Vox News ka mësuar se Veysel Sahin ka futur në “lojë” kompani guacka që veprojnë në Qipron Turke. Objekti i kompanive është i njëjtë me atë që ai vetë u hetua dhe u dënua në vendin e origjinës. Por, ka ndryshuar “pronarët” dhe “administratorët” me letra të këtyre kompanive, duke futur edhe emra anglezë apo europianë, për t’a bërë sa më të besueshëm për qeverinë shqiptare.

According to Turkish media, in 2017, an operation was carried out in Turkey and Northern Cyprus, resulting in the arrest of 17 people. “Veseli”, who was accused of illegal betting in Istanbul, Izmir and Bodrum, was also arrested. Sahini was accused of being the head of this organization, which carried out illegal betting online. There are suspicions that the group laundered money in construction and resorts, investing tens of millions of euros in betting income, while there were suspicions that “Veseli” also laundered money from drug trafficking.

He was convicted and spent some time behind bars in Turkey, while after his release he found "paradise" in Albania. Veysel Sahin entered our country through shell companies, in collaboration with businessmen and third parties, Albanian citizens.
