The Tirana Court, in a decision taken this Tuesday, has found six people, including two Italians, guilty of setting up a fraudulent scheme to unfairly benefit from VAT refunds through five of their companies.
Investigations have uncovered a well-organized network that included the creation of fictitious legal consultancy contracts and the circulation of money through false services, with the aim of avoiding tax obligations and obtaining funds illegally.
According to the Prosecution, from a criminal proceeding in 2021, it has been proven that citizens IQ, EB, in collaboration with Italian citizens AD, SC and SC, set up a fraudulent scheme to benefit from VAT reimbursement.
These individuals, through their companies, have issued fictitious invoices for consulting services in favor of the company "Sidec", with the aim of justifying the flow of money and avoiding taxes.
The investigation revealed that AD was the organizer and main beneficiary of this scheme, while the others acted as accomplices and helpers. Meanwhile, ZK, who worked as an accountant, was found guilty of failing to report the crime, as he had full knowledge of the financial situation and accounting manipulations.
