- "Compulsion to appear at the Judicial Police", for the citizen BQ, 52 years old, resident in Tirana, for the criminal offense "Abuse of duty";

- "Compulsion to appear before the Judicial Police", for the citizen HG, resident in Tirana, for the criminal offense "Concealment of income";

- For the DK citizen, for whom the security measure "Compulsion to appear at the Judicial Police" has been set, the execution of the criminal decision has not been made, as she is outside RSh.

Doctors and Oncology employees have misused their duties, not giving citizens the necessary service in the state hospital, but directing them to private hospitals, to get the services they were looking for.

Also, the source of cobalt used for radiotherapy was located in the "Mother Teresa" hospital, which was not put into operation and was outside the standards, turning into a source of danger for patients. During the investigation, it was possible to move this source to the designated place.

As part of this proceeding, control was exercised in several pharmaceutical entities, where a significant amount of suspected smuggled and counterfeit goods, amounting to 10,000 euros, as well as a medical clinic were seized./ CNA
