The Shkodra Court reconfirmed this Saturday the security measures for those arrested two days ago, who were operating as an organized criminal group in the field of usury.
For more than 9 hours, the trial panel presented all the evidence against the arrested people who are accused of laundering the proceeds of a criminal offense, engaging in unlicensed financial activity, abuse of office, unauthorized production and possession of weapons and ammunition, and failure to report a crime.
The family members considered the police decision to arrest them unfair, even asking former prefect Paulin Radovani to show which names he had reported to the Prosecutor's Office, a denunciation after which intensive investigations were carried out and it became possible to uncover this scheme of the group of usurers. But how did the name of the former prefect of Shkodra come up in this case?
All this started with his two sons, who are now abroad. They took large sums of money from other people and spent it on gambling. But when the money was not returned, the usurers took a part of Radovan's business. This fact has been denied by some of the arrested.
They admitted that they had given money to the former prefect's sons due to social relations and family friendships, but not with interest. According to the prosecution's file, Radovan trapped the group of loan sharks, after filming and recording conversations with them, where percentages are clearly discussed.
