The former advisor to the minister Olta Xhaçka, linked to the 'Milton Group' group that defrauded thousands of Europeans, was arrested in Dubai at the request of Spain; while SPAK did not issue any international arrest warrant for him. Investigations revealed that the fraud money passed through Josif's centers in Lapraka, through cash and was laundered in fast-food and construction. Altin Dumani removed him from the wanted list, leaving Olsi Rama alone, the real boss behind this network.
The extraditions of known criminals at the request of SPAK prove that Dubai and other cities in the United Arab Emirates are no longer secure bases for their inviolability there.
But Amant Josifi, Olta Xhaçka's former advisor at the Ministry of Defense and head of the criminal call-center network that defrauded and embezzled thousands of European citizens, is not being extradited.
He is not being extradited because SPAK is not looking for him, as his file for the crime of fraud and financial theft committed in Albania was deliberately destroyed by Altin Dumani, because in the network of criminal call-center activity, Amant Josifi was the mask of Olsi Rama.
In fact, as OCCRP and other media outlets have reported, Josifi was a business partner with Olsi Rama at the company "Pegasus Communication" until 2017, and this connection has raised ongoing suspicions of protection from the highest levels.
International investigations describe him not simply as an administrator, but as a "fraud boss" with political access and ties to the international group "Milton Group", which operated 6 of its 15 centers in Albania.
In front of the media and in parliament, Altin Dumani stated that an "agreement with Spanish justice" has been made regarding Amant Josif's file, so that he will be investigated, arrested and tried only by the justice system of that country.
Even if this version is true, despite the fact that there is no public document on the agreement between SPAK and the Spanish side, the abandonment of the investigation of Amant Josif is a violation of the Criminal Procedure Code, because the criminal activity was carried out on Albanian territory. In fact, SPAK confirmed that Spain had issued an arrest warrant for Josif, but SPAK itself had not issued any international arrest warrant for him, leaving a surprising gap.
On November 10, 2022, SPAK publicly stated that it had carried out a joint operation with Europol and the Spanish police, through which the call-center administrators were arrested, while Amant Josifi was notified two days before the arrest and fled to Dubai.
After being appointed as head of SPAK in December 2022, Altin Dumani began his task with Amant Josifi's "Call-Center" file and kept it blocked for 1 year; not to finalize it and take it to trial, but to destroy it and dismiss it as a case.
SPAK itself announced that Albanian BKH agents in cooperation with Interpol-Tirana would travel to Dubai to arrest Amant Josifi, but none of the trips took place.
He was even removed from the list of wanted persons, declared on October 27, 2025 by Altin Dumani in parliament, where he said that Amant Josifi is not under investigation by SPAK for the call-center crime, with the justification that the Spanish justice system is investigating him.
In fact, there is no legal agreement between SPAK and the Spanish prosecution that grants one party exclusive investigation rights for crimes committed on Albanian territory.
The Criminal Procedure Code of Albania does not provide for the transfer of investigations for Albanian and foreign citizens, when criminal offenses were committed within the country; while international cooperation agreements only provide for coordination, not transfer, of investigations.
In February 2023, SPAK opened another money laundering and computer fraud investigation against Amant Josifi and his associates, but the investigation was dropped when evidence led to Olsi Rama. International investigations have revealed that the fraud money passed from Josifi's centers, through cash in hand to transporters in Lapraka, and then through businesses such as fast food, to end up in real estate and construction investments, turning into a sophisticated money laundering scheme that also included construction businesses owned by Josifi's father.
He continues to live and do business in Dubai, while his name is not on SPAK's list for arrest and extradition, because Altin Dumani destroyed and dismissed the investigation, an action that has left Olsi Rama, the real boss of the criminal call-center network, untouchable. The clearest evidence of this disregard is that Spain requested Josif's extradition from Dubai and received him without a problem, while SPAK did not even issue an international arrest warrant for him, showing that it was not at all interested in bringing him to Albanian justice./ Pamphlet
