The prosecution announced that, in تنفيذion of an order from the Basic Court in Prishtina, searches were carried out at a total of 21 locations.

“Relevant units of the Police, Customs and the Kosovo Tax Administration took part in this police operation. The joint investigations led to the arrest of F.M., F.M., M.M., S.K., N.B., D.M., A.M., N.M., and G.Q., who are suspected of committing the criminal offenses of money laundering, smuggling of goods in co-perpetration, participation in or organization of an organized criminal group, false documents related to tax, and tax evasion,” the statement said.

At the end of the statement, it is emphasized that the action was carried out as part of investigative procedural steps.

Earlier in the day, KosovaPress reported that the Special Prosecution, together with Kosovo Customs and the Kosovo Police, had undertaken a large-scale operation, as part of which raids were carried out at several locations.

As a result of this operation, Kosovo Customs, specifically the customs investigations directorate, in cooperation with the Kosovo Police, has launched an investigation into suspicions of tax evasion and the introduction of water instead of oil (mixing).

Sources from KosovaPress say that documents related to non-payment of tax were hidden in eight private houses. The process of verifying the people located at these eight sites has also begun.

More arrests are expected from today’s operation.

One of the locations searched was “Rrustem Statovci” street in Prishtina, where the KosovaPress team filmed members of the Special Unit. However, the Kosovo Police did not confirm whether these raids are related to the presence of the Special Unit on “Rrustem Statovci” in Prishtina.
