A fraud network has been hit in Tirana.

6 people are under investigation, as it is suspected that in cooperation with each other they falsified forms for American visas against payment.

This network has been denounced by the Diplomatic Security Service at the Embassy of the United States of America in Tirana.

The citizen with the initials RN had opened an address on "Instagram" where he guaranteed the receipt of a 10-year American tourist visa with his intervention at the embassy against the amount of 10,000 euros.

In collaboration with the citizens KP, KK, KL, Xh.S., and E. Gj., he falsified the applicants' electronic forms in the American visa application with false data.

He accompanied the applicants and instructed them on how to behave during the interview and if they qualified he took the money.

The full notice of the Tirana Prosecutor's Office:

Six people are facing the charge of 'Fraud' and 'Forgery of seals, stamps or forms' provided by articles 143/2 and 190/2 of the Criminal Code by the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana, as they falsified the forms in cooperation with each other for US visas against payment.

The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction Tirana has registered criminal proceedings no. 7018/2023 on the basis of information sent by the Diplomatic Security Service at the Embassy of the United States of America in Tirana (DSS).

The RN citizen guaranteed obtaining a 10-year American tourist visa with his intervention at the Embassy against the amount of 10,000 euros.
