Eight commercial entities in Tirana have fallen under the police's radar during the operation codenamed "Illegal Trade", conducted in cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office to crack down on illegalities in the field of trade.
As part of the operation, conducted by court order, specialists from the Economic and Financial Crime Investigation Section conducted inspections in businesses that sold electronic devices, clothing and accessories of luxury brands.
According to the Police, during the checks, 16 mobile phones, 10 computer units, a laptop, as well as 11 bags and clothing items from luxury brands were seized, for which documentation proving origin and customs clearance was missing.
Further verifications revealed that the income from the sale of these products was allegedly not declared to the tax authorities. Also, in one of the entities, it was found that the products were being traded without issuing a tax coupon, so the authorities decided to suspend the activity of this business.
At the conclusion of the procedural actions, criminal investigations were initiated against nine administrators and representatives of the controlled entities, suspected of violations related to the trading of goods and failure to declare income.
The materials have been referred to the Prosecutor's Office, which will continue investigations to fully clarify the circumstances of the case.
