SPAK raided several call centers in two towers in Tirana, arresting 6 people and declaring 3 wanted for defrauding foreigners with cryptocurrencies.
Invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, journalists Ferdinand Dervishi, Xhevahir Zhabina and Sokol Bregu said that this action was carried out with foreign assistance. Journalist Bregu even said that the beneficiaries of this very large business are foreigners, especially Italian bankers.
Ferdinand Dervishi: The most serious operations are carried out by foreigners. Before this, the Spanish did it for us. The most precise operations, we are ready for the foreigners. In this case, there is a deconsecration, accepted, confirmed, they removed the equipment the day before. For me, the people who had let this happen, the police, the secret service, deconsecrated it.
Xhevahir Zhabina: According to the investigation of the Italian journalist, this story started 10 years ago and was headed by a former police officer, the main person who supplied Italian employees for this type of business. For 10 years, a call center has been operating in the center of Tirana, a great responsibility belongs to the State Police, which has also become the guarantor of this business. This issue also took Italian journalists to Malta, Cyprus and Romania, but the main base was in Albania.
Sokol Bregu: The game is not played in Albania. In Albania, there are those who face prison. The game is big, European. There are Italian bankers in the middle. Even the numbers come from abroad. You can't play bingo to someone who doesn't have money in the bank. The numbers come from abroad. 100 euros, you can't transfer if you don't say what you're transferring it for. The money in the bank goes to the former Soviet Union countries. In Albania, it comes in cash, someone brings cash or crypto. So the big game is not Albania. Why has it found ground? When foreigners are robbed, the police won't know. If this guy made a turnover of 1 million euros this month, how much will be returned to him? 400 thousand euros. He doesn't get 1 million. Who else disappears? Here they come either in cash or in crypto. The big game is played abroad, Albanians are the bottom. Did you steal from the Italian? How do these come? When foreigners are robbed in Albania, no one puts water on the fire. When someone stole 5 lek in Divjaka 3 months ago, he was arrested. When a foreigner steals, no one will know, on the contrary, he takes it from each operator, every month he asks for his 5 thousand euros, then they divide it in the police headquarters. At some point, call centers are like license plates and passports were considered in the past, you knew it was a stolen car, but new license plates come.
