Hotel, property and vehicles allegedly secured from salary as a 'waiter', Korça Prosecution seizes assets of citizen EB involved in narcotics trafficking and his family members
The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Korça, seized the assets of citizen EB and his family members after suspicions that the income generated came from criminal activity.
After an in-depth investigation lasting several years into criminal proceedings no. 208, of 2022, for the criminal offense 'Laundering of the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity', provided for by Article 287 of the Criminal Code, the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction in Korça concluded that there is a suspicion based on evidence that citizen EB has invested the proceeds from criminal activity in drug trafficking in Italy and Spain in movable and immovable property in his name and those of his family in significant amounts of money.
Also, from the information administered, it results that citizen EB declares that he is employed as a waiter in the village of Udënisht, Pogradec, but from the verifications carried out, this citizen is not employed at all in this entity, and the registration is fictitious.
Likewise, his mother, citizen EB, has registered a commercial activity "Online Sales" since December 2021. From the data of this entity, it is noted that the address of the activity is the home address.
From the investigations of the prosecution, it resulted that these citizens do not justify the assets created with legal income and that this citizen claimed that he had income from work as a waiter, but in fact, referring to the service reports, it does not appear that he has ever been employed. The banking transactions carried out by him over the years are presented in significant monetary amounts in lek and foreign currency, for which the source of creation is not justified.
In view of the above, as well as based on article 274, points 1 and 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Korça, requests the seizure of the following assets:
- Property with no. 1/516, ZK 8581 in the name of EB and EB, with a surface area of 152.5 m2, the RICH HOTEL building in the city of Pogradec.
