The number two of Albanian Customs, Ylber Karanxha, appeared this Monday at the Special Prosecutor's Office.

Karanxha, who holds the position of deputy director of excise, is reported to have gone to SPAK regarding the issue of cigarette smuggling.

Karança was among the 35 names of defendants in a cigarette smuggling scheme, for which SPAK has stated that it has caused damage to the Albanian state budget amounting to over 3.6 billion lek, while for EU countries, the lack of revenue from excise duties and taxes amounts to around 12.8 million euros. /CNA
