2025-01-15 23:09:01 / AKTUALITET
The 2019 investigation is not the only one of this nature. In 2023, the Elbasan Prosecutor's Office issued 7 arrest warrants against individuals engaged in a VAT fraud scheme.
The damage to the state was a full 3 million euros. The people involved in the scheme created inactive companies and made fictitious sales, benefiting from VAT refunds. Among those arrested, the name of Italian citizen Aldo Mazzarella stands out, who is a shareholder of 3 entities in Albania.
One of his companies, namely "Ferro Alloys And Mineral", has also benefited from public funds. Through 2 transfers, this company investigated for evasion has benefited 11 million new lek. What is impressive is the fact that the money was collected precisely by the Tax Directorate, that is, the institution that should have revealed the abuses.
'Has it been reduced? Yes, it has been reduced. Does it continue to be present, it continues to be present in customs and taxes, normally the rules we have should be built or reformed or new systems should be built that put all the elements under control. Internal audit is an instrument against corruption, the moment this instrument that is against corruption is corrupted, then there is nothing left' said Erion Braçe./ Top Channel
