They created a fraudulent scheme/ the Tirana Prosecutor's Office seizes the

Prosecutor's Office of Tirana

The Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction, Tirana, requests the imposition of a preventive seizure on the quotas and assets/assets (movable and immovable property, property titles, etc.) of:

The legal entity - Micro Credit Albania, suspected of committing the criminal offense of "Fraud with serious consequences and committed more than once and in collaboration", provided for by Article 143/3;

Legal person - "Final" suspected of committing the criminal offense of "Fraud with serious consequences and committed more than once and in cooperation", provided by article 143/3 (more than once), "Cleaning of products of criminal offense or criminal activity" carried out in cooperation provided by article 287/2 of the Criminal Code.

From the investigations, it turned out that the commercial companies MCA and Final, in cooperation with the ADCA Company and some other enforcement companies, but also with the help of an evaluation expert, having from the beginning of the exercise of their activities (the activity of purchase and collection of bad loans) unique criminal thinking, have created together a fraudulent scheme with the aim of stealing and extorting citizens that is currently estimated at millions of Euros.

Companies and persons under abusive investigation have:

Used the illegally obtained personal data of individuals/debtors without any possibility to cope with daily life (phone numbers, their own or family members' and data on civil status, employment, etc.);

Used psychological pressure and harassment of debtors and their family members through continuous phone calls (and not only) in order to sign new credit agreements;

Used the lie that was consistent in the calculation of an inflated obligation and without any legal basis;

Seizure of bank accounts in violation of the law and beyond the vital minimum, even without any time limit;

Carry out the sequestration of immovable properties in a way that is not proportional to the remaining obligation; and have "sold/transferred" to the ownership of MCA, the immovable assets of debtors or other citizens in fictitious auctions with values ??many times lower than the real value of these properties, properties which have been fictitiously evaluated.

All the above-mentioned actions were carried out with the aim of squeezing and forcing the debtors to take new loans with inflated principal value and very high interest, lying that they are "restructuring the old" or to pay obligations in values inflation that did not rely on the initial values ??of the executive orders issued by the courts.

As a result, the companies MCA and Final have benefited from illegal income and assets, which they have stolen and extorted from citizens, which are estimated at 10 million Euros according to the aforementioned method, money and property which they have invested or used in activities of others.

From the aforementioned analysis, it results in criminal proceedings 2123 of 2020 that sufficient data have been administered from which reasonable suspicion is created that the assets of the aforementioned companies are the product of the criminal offense "Fraud with serious consequences and committed more than once and in cooperation", provided by article 143/3, and therefore doubts are created that the disposition of these assets may aggravate or prolong the consequences of the criminal offense or may facilitate the commission of other criminal offenses, and are considered assets that should be confiscated./ CNA
