2026-04-28 21:17:16 / AKTUALITET
Jetmir Pepa and his family members were able to invest and hide dozens of businesses in Albania, which, according to one estimate, are worth 69 million euros.
The show "Në Shënjestër" published the history of the criminal activity of the Pepa brothers' criminal group, which, with the money earned from cocaine trafficking, established dozens of businesses and a construction company, 'Pepa Group', that received tenders from the state.
During the show, conversations were published on SkyEcc, where the Pepa brothers talk among themselves about reconstruction tenders as well as building permits in the most coveted area of Tirana, that of '21 December'.
A company that has its headquarters in the industrial area on the Tirana-Durres highway.
Where SPAK has already placed it under seizure, along with many other businesses in which they are majority shareholders, and where assets worth 12 million euros have been seized during the execution of security measures.
A criminal group that, during the years 2019-2021, operated in Latin America, Belgium and the Netherlands, where 8 episodes of cocaine trafficking in large quantities were documented.
Likewise, following the request of the Special Prosecution Office with decision no. 20, dated April 14, 2026, the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime (SCOC) has imposed the security measure of 'prison arrest' on 11 Albanian citizens.
Where investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the General Directorate of the State Police have made it possible to implement security measures against citizens:
Fation Marku, born February 20, 1992
Lulëzim Pepa, born July 6, 1974
Anton Kola, born June 19, 1993
Meanwhile, the General Directorate of the State Police, in cooperation with BKH investigators, continue with procedural and operational actions to locate other citizens, against whom the personal security measure of 'prison arrest' has been imposed.
Some of these persons are not located in the territory of the Republic of Albania.
Among the key people who could not be stopped are Aleks Pepa and his brother Jetmir Pepa.
The latter, as we said, is also known as 'Casanova'.
Meanwhile, the list of seized businesses also includes numerous bank accounts, large areas of land, hotels, and even luxury vehicles.
Some of them were registered in the names of family members who had no financial means to purchase them with the income they declared from employment.
Where some of these family members who possessed these staggering assets were employed with minimal salaries, precisely in these businesses that served as money laundering for drug trafficking.
Në total janë sekuestruar 231 pasuri, shoqëri tregtare, sipërfaqe toke, apartamente, njësi tregtare, apartamente, llogari bankare të shoqërive dhe në emër të individëve të ndryshëm dhe automjete luksoze.
Konkretisht pasuritë e sekuestruara janë:
Shoqëria ‘Pepa Group’ me qeli qendrore në Kashar, km 6, Autostrada Tiranë-Durrës
Shoqëria ‘HEC ARSTI’ me seli qendrore në Shkodër, Fierzë
Shoqëria ‘B.I.V’ shpk, me seli qendrore Lezhë, Rubik fshati Fan, ku 50 për qind të aksioneve i përkasin ortakut të ‘Pepa Group’.
Shoqëria ‘Shëngjini 2013’ shpk, me seli qendrore Lezhë, në masën 50 për qind të cilët i përkasin ortakut të ‘Pepa Group’
Shoqëria ‘Oxford Hotel’, shpk, njësia Bashkiake nr.1, duke përfshirë çdo pasuri të luajtshme dhe të paluajtshme, asete, të drejta ndaj të tretëve, pjesë e kapitalit të shoqërisë.
Shoqëria ‘Maison Nuve Aesthetics’, me seli qendrore në Tiranë.
‘E.DK.AL’ shpk, me seli në Ishull-Shëngjin, me emrin tregtar ‘Soluna’, etj.
Por cilat janë bizneset në të cilat vëllezërit Pepa kishin investuar dhe i kishin fshehur në emër të familjarëve të tyre.
Cili ishte mekanizmi që ata kishin zgjedhur për të pastruar paratë e trafikut ndërkombëtar të kokainës?
Sipas SPAK, asnjë nga bizneset në emër të familjes Pepa, nuk e justifikon burimin e ligjshëm të të ardhurave.
Kjo bazuar në të gjitha të dhënat e punësimit që kanë lidhje me drejtuesit e këtyre bizneseve.
Nga ku del se një nga vëllezërit Pepa, nuk e justifikon burimin e të ardhurave nga punësimi në Shqipëri në 10 vitet e fundit.
Kjo, krahasuar me investimin që ai ka bërë në biznese të ndryshme.
Ku sipas Spak, konkretisht, të ardhurat e personave të poshtëpërmendur kanë qenë tejet modeste.
Ndërkohë që ata rezultojnë se ata kanë krijuar veprimtari tregtare, të cilat nga tërësia e hetimeve dhe mungesa e mjeteve financiare konsiderohen si mënyra për të fshehur burimin e paligjshëm të financimit të pasurive të krijuara, permes skemave fiktive, të fshehura nën veprime juridike.
Shtetasi Lulëzim Pepa, nga muaji mars 2012 deri në muajin tetor 2025, ka qenë i punësuar në disa subjekte private, sikurse në subjektin ‘Pepa Group’, ku në total është paguar me pagë bruto në vlerën prej 104 milionë lekë të vjetra.
Shtetesja L. Pepa, për të njëjtën periudhë është paguar me pagë bruto në vlerën prej 35 milionë lekë të vjetra.
Shtetasi Urim Pepa për periudhën dhjetor 2012-maj 2021, në total është paguar me pagë bruto në vlerën prej 93 milion lekë të vjetra.
Shtetasja B. Pepa, për periudhën nga muaji tetor 2015 deri në tetor 2025, në total është paguar me 53 milionë lekë të vjetra.
Shtetasi Jetmir Pepa, rezulton se për periudhën nga muaji korrik 2019 deri në tetor 2025, ka qenë i punësuar në një subjekt privat dhe në total ështe paguar me 50 mijë lekë të vjetra.
Shtetasi Lekë Pepa, nga muaji dhjetor 2011 deri në maj 2012, është paguar në vleren prej 99 mijë lekë të vjetër.
Shtetasja V. Pepa, në total është paguar nga muaji dhjetor 2012 deri në gusht 2025 në vlerën prej 55 milionë lekë të vjetra.
Meanwhile, citizen Aleks Pepa does not appear to have been employed in Albania.
Like citizen B. Pepa, who had no employment history.
SPAK's investigations show that only one of the Pepa brothers, specifically Urim Pepa, who died in a fatal accident in 2021, had founded seven commercial companies together with his wife, citizen B. Pepa.
Specifically 'Pro Home', sh.pk with registration date June 26, 2012.
'Pepa Group', sh.pk, with registration date October 15, 2014.
'Oxford Hotel', sh.pk, with registration date 14 June 2017.
"Property Investment 2020", sh.pk
Also, the company 'Pepa Group' sh.pk, had purchased 33.5% of the quotas in 2018 of the company 'HEC ARSTI', sh.pk, with registration date April 1, 2016.
And in 2022, he also purchased 50% of the shares of the company 'IUV', sh.pk, with registration date January 1, 2003.
Companies that actually result in their annual balance sheets either with losses or with minimal profits.
But even though after the death of her husband in the tragic accident that occurred on May 19, 2021 in Mamurras, a significant part of the company 'Pepa Group' passed to citizen B. Pepa and their children, in fact SPAK has discovered that all assets were controlled by Lulëzim Pepa.
Who meanwhile managed all the brothers' assets, on behalf of the family.
Referring to the historical extract of the Central Bank, the partners of the company 'Pepa Group', sh.pk, were citizens Urim Pepa and his wife, citizen B, Pepa.
After 2021, when citizen Urim Pepa passed away, the partners of the company became citizen B. Pepa and her children with 25% of the quotas each, but de facto all companies in the name of the Pepa family members were managed by the older brother of the Pepa family (where all the Pepa brothers are the owners), specifically by citizen Lulëzim Pepa.
Here too, the platform that revealed who the Pepa brothers' asset manager really was was Sky Ecc.
As well as from the powers of attorney of 2022, where despite the fact that the administrator of these assets was their sister, citizen V, Pepa, all actions on behalf of the company 'Pepa Group, sh.pk, were authorized by citizen Lulëzim Pepa.
As in another prosecutor's office in 2023, where the administrator and partner of the company 'Oxford Hotel', sh.pk, appointed citizen Lulëzim Pepa as general representative.
Thus giving him not only the right of administration, but essentially all the decision-making rights that belong to the partners of the commercial company.
