The Special Prosecutor's Office has carried out an operation in Vlora, where as a result the head of the Prosecutor's Office, Aurel Zarka, a former judicial officer, as well as a lawyer, has been arrested. Initially, it is suspected that they were arrested for abuse in connection with a proceeding.
But Aurel Zarka is not an unknown name to the public opinion. There have been denunciations against him published in investigative shows for blackmail and bribery. Aurel Zarka considered the state office as his private property.
Zarka started his career as a Judicial Police officer in 2003-2004 and then left the justice system to return in 2012. In an article published by CNA about 4 years ago, where the wealth was disclosed his at that time, resulted in wealth from Vlora, Fieri to Tirana.
At the time he returned to the justice system, he declared a residential apartment with an area of ??84 m2, in Vlora, bought in 2007 for 29,400 euros. He also declared a business contract in October 2012, to buy an apartment with an area of ??120 m2, worth 84,000 euros. He also declared a "Ford" vehicle in the name of his wife, bought in 2012 with a value of 3,500 euros, which he sold for 4,000 euros in 2014.
In the name of his wife, he also declared a shop with an area of ??63 m2 bought in 2004 with the income of her emigration parents in the amount of 100,000 euros. In 2018, the prosecutor stated that a new residential apartment with an area of ??83 m2, and a garage of 23.5 m2, benefited from the exchange with the apartment of 78 m2. While there is no declaration of an apartment with an area of ??78 m2 in the property declarations.
Then how can the exchange of two properties be done with one property. Among other things, the prosecutor also declared a bank account that he increases from year to year, which according to him was created by the sale of the house and lands in Fier and the sale of a house in Tirana.
