Investigations have shown that this money transfer system was used by dozens of people, that deposits of monetary amounts in Switzerland were made in hundreds of cases and that the monetary amounts transferred are in the millions of euros. Investigative actions are ongoing to calculate the full value of the monetary amounts that were transferred...
SPAK has dismantled the money laundering scheme through the "Hawala" system, while significant amounts were transferred and transported from Switzerland to Albania.
According to SPAK, persons interested in transferring money (money senders) handed over the amounts of criminal origin to associates of the criminal group residing in Switzerland, informing them of the name of the person who was the recipient of the amounts of money in Tirana.
SPAK reports that the associates of the criminal group residing in Switzerland immediately notified their associates in Tirana as soon as the money was deposited.
The official SPAK announcement states that the leader of the criminal group was the person under investigation EF. The latter, in collaboration with the persons under investigation BF and PK, delivered the same amount of money that had been deposited with their associates in Switzerland, to the persons who were the recipients of the amounts in Tirana.

To carry out this criminal activity, the persons under investigation in Albania and their associates in Switzerland used currency exchange offices, money transfer offices and travel agencies to hide the true purpose of their activity, as in reality these activities were used to deposit amounts of money in Switzerland and to deliver and distribute amounts of money in Albania.
"The purpose of this activity by the structured criminal group was to make profits, where the value of the monetary benefit received by the persons under investigation was 6% of the amount of money transferred, which was then divided equally between the person under investigation EF and the associates in Switzerland," SPAK reports.
Announcement from SPAK
The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime, in cooperation with the judicial police services of the State Police Directorate, has conducted investigations within the framework of criminal proceedings no. 49/3 of 2023, for the criminal offenses "Production and sale of narcotics", "Narcotics trafficking", "Laundering of proceeds of criminal offense or criminal activity", "Structured criminal group", "Commitment of offenses by a structured criminal group", provided for by articles 28/4, 283/1, 283/a, 287, 333/a/2 and 334/1 of the Criminal Code.
From the investigative actions carried out during the preliminary investigations and those carried out by the Swiss justice authorities, the necessary evidence has been collected, which has proven the fact that the persons under investigation EF, BF and PK, in cooperation with each other, as well as in cooperation with several other persons residing in Lucerne, Switzerland, in the form of a structured criminal group, have organized and enabled the functioning of an informal money transfer system. Through this system, they have transferred and transported from Switzerland to Albania, considerable amounts of money that had as their source of origin the activities of trafficking and trading of narcotics in the territory of Switzerland or in other countries.
This informal money transfer system, known as "Hawala", has enabled the persons under investigation and other persons involved in criminal activities to quickly transfer sums of money from Switzerland to Albania, for a period of several years, at least from 2020 onwards.
Persons interested in transferring money (money senders) handed over the money of criminal origin to associates of the criminal group residing in Switzerland, informing them of the name of the person who was the recipient of the sums of money in Tirana.
The associates of the criminal group residing in Switzerland, as soon as the money was deposited, would notify their associates in Tirana, the person under investigation EF, who is also the leader of this criminal group, of the amount of money deposited and the name of the person who was the recipient of the money in Tirana. Then, the person under investigation EF, in cooperation with the persons under investigation BF and PK, would deliver the same amount of money that had been deposited with their associates in Switzerland, to the persons who were the recipients of the amounts in Tirana.
This enabled the transfer of money in a very fast time, without the need to immediately physically transport the money from Switzerland to Albania, and at the same time made it impossible for law enforcement agencies to record money transfers, identify the senders and recipients of the money, and verify the source of the money being transferred.
Hetimet kanë treguar se ky sistem i transferimit të parave është përdorur nga dhjetra persona, se depozitimet e shumave monetare në Zvicër janë kryer në qindra raste dhe se shumat monetare të transferuar janë në miliona euro. Vijojnë veprimet hetimore për llogaritjen e vlerës së plotë të shumave monetare që janë transferuar.
Për të realizuar këtë veprimtari kriminale, personat nën hetim në Shqipëri dhe bashkëpunëtorët e tyre në Zvicër, kanë përdorur zyra të këmbimit valutor, zyra të transferimit të parave dhe agjenci turistike, për të fshehur qëllimin e vërtetë të veprimtarisë së tyre, pasi në të vërtetë këto aktivitete janë përdorur për të depozituar sasitë e parave në Zvicër dhe për të dorëzuar dhe për të shpërndarë sasitë e parave në Shqipëri.
Qëllimi i kësaj veprimtarie nga grupi i strukturuar kriminal ka qënë realizimi i fitimeve, ku vlera e përfitimit monetare që përfitohej nga personat nën hetim ishte 6% e shumës së parave që transferohej, që ndahej më pas në mënyrë të barabartë mes personit nën hetim E.F dhe bashkëpunëtorëve në Zvicër.
Krahas veprimtarisë kriminale të mësipërme, personat nën hetim E.F, B.F dhe P.K kanë realizuar edhe aktivitetin e tregtimit të lëndëve narkotike në disa Kantone në Zvicër, duke përdorur persona të tjerë si shpërndarës të lëndëve narkotike në sasi më të vogla, si dhe duke siguruar furnizimin e tyre me lëndë narkotike.
