The Prosecutor's Office of Tirana requests the confiscation of Alda

The Prosecutor's Office of Tirana requests the confiscation of the assets of the former head of Ahmetaj's Cabinet, Alda Klosi. In the announcement of the prosecution, it is emphasized that the property has no legal origin and it was proven that it was created during criminal activity.

On March 19, the Court of Tirana made a decision sentencing Alda Klos, the former official of the Ministry of Economy, to 2 years and 6 months in prison. On April 4, Klosi completed his sentence and was released from prison for the charges of "False Declaration" and "Concealment of Assets".

After her release she will remain under "house arrest" for the second money laundering charge.

Notice of the Prosecution:

The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana requests the confiscation of the assets of the citizen Alda Klosi after it was proven that the property subject to the request for confiscation has no legal origin and it was proven that this property was created during criminal activity.

On 27.12.2022, this prosecutor's office, on the basis of the material referred by the Tirana Police Station No. 2, registered criminal proceedings No. 9220, for the criminal offense "Theft" provided for by Article 134/3 of the Criminal Code. From the acts of the investigation, it was found that on 15.12.2022, around 2:10 p.m., the Operative Room of the Tirana Police was notified that in the "Kosovarë" Street, the apartment of the citizen Alda Klosi was stolen in the "Orion" building.

From the control exercised in the apartment of RD and HD (authors of the theft), on 06.01.2023, the following were found and seized as material evidence: the sum of 58,150 (fifty eight thousand one hundred and fifty) euros. Meanwhile, on 07.01.2023, at 7:30 p.m., in their apartment, the judicial police seized as material evidence: The sum of 404,800 (four hundred and four thousand and eight hundred).

The criminal investigation proved that the money and euro/dollar currency seized in the residence of the RD and HD citizens were stolen from the residence of the citizen Alda Klosi.

In addition, the defendant Alda Klosi was charged with the criminal offense of "Refusal to declare, fail to declare, conceal or falsely declare assets, private interests of elected persons, public servants or any other person who has a legal obligation for declaration", provided by article 257/a/2 of the Criminal Code and a request for trial was sent on 09.10.2023.

As above, the prosecution body concludes that the amount of money seized in R. D's apartment and the apartment/garage bought in 2019 by her ex-husband Alda Klosi, have been hidden and not declared in the ILDKPKI.
