Two people have been arrested in Shijak after trying to sell on the market an amount of euros (with security ink) stolen in banks of EU countries. Taulant Demerxhiu, 33 years old, and Vladimir Kokomani, 43 years old, were taken into custody.
The police announce that 80,000 euros were found in the vehicle in which these two citizens were driving, which are suspected to have been stolen from banks in EU countries, with the aim of selling them on the domestic market.
They are charged with the criminal offenses of “Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity” and “Empropriation of money or goods derived from a criminal offense or criminal activity”.
“The police have handcuffed these two people, who, according to evidence, are suspected of selling that money at a value lower than 18,000 euros on the black market, converting it at non-licensed currency points. There are people who are suspected of having received this money from other people, who committed the robbery outside Albania and were going to sell it to others. They are not the ones who robbed the bank in EU countries, which has not yet been determined.”, reported journalist Leonidha Musaj./ abcnews.al
