Action targeting luxury cars in Vlorë, 3 expensive vehicles seized

Crime Investigation units at the Vlorë Local Police Directorate have launched a targeted plan to verify high-value vehicles, with the aim of cracking down on assets acquired through criminal activity.

During checks carried out in the field, police brought in several luxury vehicles manufactured in recent years. Following the verifications, they found violations of asset-related legislation.

Preliminary investigations and statements taken from their possessors established that three of these vehicles could not be justified by the owners’ known and lawful income. Under these circumstances, police units seized the vehicles as material evidence, while the three individuals who possessed them were processed while at liberty for the criminal offense of “Laundering the Proceeds of Crime.”

In parallel with the criminal proceedings, police authorities in Vlorë have launched an in-depth asset investigation into the vehicle owners to trace the origin of their financial resources and how their assets were acquired. The State Police announced that actions of this kind will continue in the coming days to identify illicit assets.
