The Shkodra Prosecution Office has sent four people accused of the criminal offenses of "Fraud" and "Forgery" to trial. According to the Prosecution's announcement, the two citizens AK and OK, who in cooperation with each other have opened a website "Autorental Tirana", where they have advertised various vehicles for rent.
