The names of 12 people have been released, against whom the Court has imposed security measures as part of the investigation into the suspected scheme of alienation of state property in Durres. They are former officials of the Durres Mortgage, as well as people suspected of having illegally obtained property through the manipulation of ownership documentation.
The security measures were imposed after a several-year investigation by the Durrës Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating a series of criminal offenses related to the administration and registration of properties. The suspects are accused of the criminal offenses of fraud, forgery of documents, abuse of office and laundering of the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity.
The investigation began after a detailed inventory process of mortgage registers at the Durrës Local Cadastre Directorate, where numerous irregularities were discovered that raised suspicions of intentional interference in official documentation. Out of 1,063 registers checked, only 152 were found to be regular, while serious problems were found in the vast majority of them.
According to the investigative file, missing, replaced, duplicated and damaged pages have been identified, which are suspected of being used to manipulate ownership data and transfer state property in favor of private individuals. The prosecution suspects that these are not isolated violations, but a well-organized mechanism that has been operating for a long period of time.
